A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note

: final velocity, v = 0, at the top).

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Angular velocity w=500rpm

Converting from rpm to rad/s

1rev =2πrad

1minutes =60secs

500rpm=500rev/mins

w = 500×2π/60

wi=52.36rad/s

The final angular velocity wf=0rad/s

Time to stop is t=2.6sec

We want to find angular acceleration α

Using the equation of angular motion

wf = wi + αt.

0 = 52.36 + 2.6α

-52.36=2.6α

α = -52.36/2.6

α = -20.14rad/s²

The angular acceleration is negative because it is decelerating.

Then, α=20.14rad/s²

What is the % error in using g = 10.0 m/s^2? (Take the value ofg as 9.8 m/s^2)
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

So percentage error will be 2 %

Explanation:

We have given initial value of acceleration due to gravity g=10m/sec^2

And final value of acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find the percentage error

We know that percentage error is given by percentage\ error=\frac{initial\ value-final\ value}{initial\ value}\times 100

So percentage\ error=\frac{10-9.8}{10}\times 100=2 %
