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

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Humanity's "big science" experiments like the "Large Hadron Collider (LHC)" are by themselves not problems to be condemned. They show man's unending quests for answers: to discover their environment and its origin. Similar philosophical quests were summed up by St. Augustine, who noted that "our souls are restless until they find rest in GOD."  

Humanity will continue such experiments, the costs notwithstanding, until we come to faith in Yahweh, who is the creator of heaven and earth and in His Son.  When that faith is attained, our understanding will become complete.  We can then divert the billions to discover the future and not the past.

 

Explanation:

That scientists are spending billions of dollars on the "Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe is a necessary evil.  Such billions of dollars are actually the required costs to acquire more knowledge about the created universe.  But, ordinary knowledge puffs.  It is only divine knowledge backed up by Faith in the Savior of the universe that is the antidote to prideful knowledge.

The earthsky.org says that "the most significant discovery to come from the LHC so far is the discovery of the Higgs boson (or the “God particle”) in 2012."  Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman referred to the Higgs boson as the "God d..n Particle."  While he was intending to describe how difficult it was to detect the particle, he did not realize that he was 100% correct in the naming.  This discovered elementary particle (otherwise named the Higgs boson or the "God particle") proves that the particle force energy primarily originates from God.

Without God, there is no primary particle force energy which can give rise to the "big bang" theory.  God is that "invisible, universe-wide field that gave mass to all matter right after the Big Bang, forcing particles to coalesce into stars, planets, and everything else," according to Peter Higgs and Francois Englert (1964).  God also caused the Big Bang.

Which property of light remains unchanged when it enters a different medium?
RideAnS [48]
B. Frequency remains unchanged because the energy in a photon is E=hf. So if the frequency changes so does the energy and that doesn't happen to EM waves entering a medium by the conservation of energy

A block floats partially submerged in a container of liquid. When the entire container is accelerated upward, which of the follo
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Partially submerged block along with vessel is accelerated upwards .

Initially the block weight is supported by buoyant force such that it is in equilibrium.

when the system start accelerating upwards then the effective gravity will be

g+a where a is the acceleration of the system.

so only net gravity is increased so block will not ascend or descend.

Mathematically

F_b=weight

\rho _L\cdot V\cdot (g+a)=m(g+a)

where \rho _L=density of liquid

V=volume of object inside the water
