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

Which of the physical variables listed below will change when you change the area of the capacitor plates (while keeping the bat
RSB [31]

Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

A large rocket has a mass of 2.00×10⁶ kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50×10⁷ N. Find its initial accelerati
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

17.5 m/s²

1.90476 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.5\times 10^7}{2\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow a=17.5\ m/s^2

Initial acceleration of the rocket is 17.5 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow \frac{120}{3.6}=0+17.5t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\frac{120}{3.6}}{17.5}=1.90476\ s

Time taken by the rocket to reach 120 km/h is 1.90476 seconds

Change in the velocity of a rocket is given by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation

\Delta v=v_{e}\ln \frac{m_0}{m_f}

where,

m_0 = Initial mass of rocket with fuel

m_f = Final mass of rocket without fuel

v_e = Exhaust gas velocity

Hence, the change in velocity increases as the mass decreases which changes the acceleration
