A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of v0 from a height of h. (a) What is its speed just before it strikes th

e ground? (b) How long does the ball take to reach the ground? What would be the answers to (c) part a and (d) part b if the ball were thrown upward from the same height and with the same initial speed? Before solving any equations, decide whether the answers to (c) and (d) should be greater than, less than, or the same as in (a) and (b).

Answer:

a)   v² = v₀² + 2 g h,  b)   t = v₀/g  (1+ √ (1 + 2gh/ v₀²))

Explanation:

a) This is an exercise that we can solve using conservation of energy.

Starting point. High point

         Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m gh

Final point. Soil

         Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved because there is no friction

         Emo = Em_{f}

         ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = v₀² + 2 g h

b) the time it takes to reach the ground can be calculated with kinematics

let's create a reference frame with positive upward direction

         v = vo - g t

when it reaches the ground it has a velocity v, the initial velocity is downwards v₀ = -v₀

        v = -v₀ - gt

        t = - (v + v₀) / g

we substitute the velocity values ​​calculated in the previous part

        t = - (√(v₀² + 2 g h) + vo) / g

we will simplify the equation a bit

        t = - v₀/g  (1+ √ (1 + 2gh/ v₀²))

c) is now thrown vertically upward with the same initial velocity vo.

   To find the final velocity we use the conservation of energy where the velocity is squared, so it does not matter if it is positive or negative, therefore in this section the value should be the same as in part a

         v = √ (v₀² + 2gh)

d) for this part if there is change since the speed is not squared

     v₀ = v₀

          v = v₀ - gt

          t = (v₀ - v) / g

          t = (v₀ - √(v₀² + 2 g h)) / g

          t = v₀/g   (1 - √(1 + 2gh / v₀²))

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process _____.
Nataly [62]

<u>Answer</u>:

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process Transmission.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Transmission is the process where all the light that is passed through the material moves via the material without being absorbed. The Transmission depends on the affected radiation.The Transmittance of the medium is defined as the ratio between transmitted radiant power and incident radiant power. The light that is passed through the medium and not reflected will be either scattered or reflected. The light can be transmitted only through transparent or translucent material. Opaque object does not allows transmission of light.

How can groundwater flow, elevation can transport contaminates
Pavel [41]

Answer: it's under explanation

Explanation:Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human use. Materials from the land's surface can move through the soil and end up in the groundwater.
