Answer:

The initial velocity was U=22.14m/s

Explanation:

Step one :

Applying the third equation of motion

v² = u²+ 2as

Where v= Final velocity

U =initial velocity

a= acceleration due to gravity

S= distance or displacement

Step two :

V= 0

a= 9.81m/s²

S=25m

U=?

Step three :

Substituting into the equation we have

0²=U²+2*9.81*25

0=U²+490.5

U²=-490.5

U=√490.5

U=22.14m/s

I am sitting on a train car traveling horizontally at a constant speed of 50 m/s. I throw a ball straight up into the air.
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

I am sitting on a train car traveling horizontally at a constant speed of 50 m/s. I throw a ball straight up into the air. Before , the ball gets separated from my hand , both me the ball will be moving with velocity of 50 m /s in horizontal direction .

As soon as ball is separated from the hand , it acquires addition velocity in upward direction and acceleration in downward direction . This will give relative velocity to the ball with respect to me . So I will see the ball going in upward direction under  gravitational acceleration . It appears as if I am sitting at rest and ball is going in upward direction under deceleration . My motion at 50 m/s will have no effect on the motion of ball in upward direction , according to first law of Newton . It is so because ball too will be moving in forward direction with the same speed which will not be visible to me because I too am moving with the same speed.

If I  am  sitting at rest at home and I threw a ball straight up into the air , I will have the same experience of seeing ball going in similar way as described above.

Who has greater displacement, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the earth or you when you have just traveled from
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.

This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.

So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school.  The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.

However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.

A bag of sugar weighs 2 kg on earth. What should it weigh in newtons on the moon, where the free-fall acceleration is 1/6 that o
Elis [28]
<span> Weight = mass x acceleration
Earths acceleration is 9.8 m/s*2
1 kg = 2.2 lbs, so 2.0 lbs x 1 kg/2.2 lbs = 0.91 kg
The bag would have a weight of 9.8 x 0.91 = 8.9 N

1. 8.9 x 1/6 = 1.5 N

2. 8.9 x 2.64 = 23.5 N

The mass of the bag at all three locations is 0.91 kg. Mass does not change, the different locations only change its weight. </span>

An object is 10 cm from thé mirror, its height is 1 cm and thé focal length is 5 cm. What is thé distance from thé mirror? S1= _
Viefleur [7K]
Note: I assume the mirror is concave, so that its focal length is positive (it is not specified in the text)

1a) We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}
where 
f=5 cm is the focal length
p=10 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror
q is the distance of the image from the mirror.

Rearranging the equation, we find
\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{5}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{1}{10 cm}
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is q=10 cm.

1b) The image height is given by the magnification equation:
\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}
where h_i is the heigth of the image and h_o=1 cm is the height of the object. By rearranging the equation and using p and q, we find
h_i=-h_o  \frac{p}{q}=-(1 cm) \frac{10 cm}{10 cm}=-1 cm
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

2) As before, we can find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}
Rearranging it, we find
\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm

3) As before, we find the distance of the image from the mirror by using the mirror equation:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{p}+ \frac{1}{q}
Rearranging it, we find
\frac{1}{q}= \frac{1}{f}- \frac{1}{p}= \frac{1}{2}- \frac{1}{10}= \frac{4}{10 cm}
so, the distance of the image from the mirror is
q= \frac{10}{4}cm= 2.5 cm

And now we can use the magnification equation to find the image height:
\frac{h_i}{h_o}=- \frac{p}{q}
Rearranging it, we find
h_i=-h_o \frac{p}{q}=-(3cm) \frac{10 cm}{2.5 cm}=-12 cm
and the negative sign means the image is inverted.

For an object with a given mass on Earth, calculate the weight of the object with the mass equal in magnitude to the number repr
leonid [27]

<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the object is 29.4 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the weight of the object, we use the equation:

W=m\times g

where,

m = mass of the object = 3 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=3kg\times 9.8m/s^2\\\\W=29.4N

Hence, the weight of the object is 29.4 N
