A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20.00 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, how long is the ball in th

e air? What is the greatest height reached by the ball? Also calculate the time at which the ascending ball reaches a height of 15 m above the ground.

Answer:

1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.

2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.

Explanation:

The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.

thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final speed of the ball

'u' is the initial speed of the ball

'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 m/s^{2}

's' is the distance it covers

Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get

0=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{20^{2}}{2\times 9.81}=20.387meters

Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as  

v^2=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times 15\\\\v^{2}=105.7\\\\\therefore v=10.28m/s

the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\frac{10.28-20}{-9.81}=0.991seconds\approx 1second

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).
