An entertainer juggles balls while doing other activities. In one act, she throws a ball vertically upward, and while it is in t

he air, she runs to and from a table 5.50 m away at an average speed of 3.00 m/s, returning just in time to catch the falling ball. (a) With what minimum initial speed must she throw the ball upward to accomplish this feat? (b) How high above its initial position is the ball just as she reaches the table?

Answer:

a) 17.97 m/s

b) 16.5 m

Explanation:

The total distance that she runs is twice the distance between her and the table, which is 5.5 * 2 = 11m

So the time she would need to run that distance at a rate of 3m/s is

t = 11/3 = 3.67s

This is also the time it takes for the ball to be thrown up and down, which is twice the time it needs to reach the top, its maximum height at v = 0 m/s

So the time for the ball to reach maximum height is 3.67 / 2 = 1.83 s

Let g = 9.8m/s2. For the ball to get to 0 within 1.83s at the deceleration of 9.8m/s. Its initial speed must be

v = gt = 9.8*1.83 = 17.97 m/s

As she reaches the table within half of the total time (3.67 /2 = 1.83s), the position of the ball would be

h = vt + gt^2/2 = 17.97*1.83 - 9.8*1.83^2/2 = 16.5 m

Answer:

D. The General Adaptation Syndrome

Explanation:

Hans Selye, an endocrinologist, developed the <em>"Stress Theory."</em> He showed the relationship of <em>"stress"</em> to the person's development of disease.

Under stress, <em>a person's body experiences changes</em>. The person tries to cope with these through three stages: <em>Alarm Reaction Stage, Resistance Stage and Exhaustion Stage. </em>It is at the<em> last stage</em> that a person's immune system is placed at a huge risk. Once the person is exposed to a stressor for a period of time, he becomes hopeless and his body tends to give up coping. He then succumbs to <em>stress-related illness.</em>

Answer:

60 m/s

Explanation:

a =  \frac{vf - vi}{t}

5.0 =  \frac{vf - 0}{12}

5.0 \times 12 = vf
