A physics student throws a softball straight up into the air. The ball was in the air for a total of 3.56 s before it was caught

at its original position. What is the initial velocity of the ball? Consider upwards to be the positive direction.

Answer:

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

This is a case of an object which experiments a free fall, that is, an uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and in which effects from air friction and Earth's rotation can be neglected.

From statement we must understand that the student threw the softball upwards and it is caught at original position 3.56 seconds later. Initial and final heights, time and gravitational acceleration are known and initial speed is unknown. The following equation of motion is used:

y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2} (Eq. 1)

Where:

y_{o} - Initial height of the softball, measured in meters.

y - Final height of the softball, measured in meters.

v_{o} - Initial velocity of the softball, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that y = y_{o}, t = 3.56\,s and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the initial velocity of the softball is:

v_{o}\cdot (3\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,s)^{2} = 0

3\cdot v_{o} -44.132\,m= 0

v_{o} = 14.711\,\frac{m}{s}

The initial velocity of the softball is 14.711 meters per second.

Answer:

Light does not need a medium to travel travel through, but since waves must have a medium to vibrate, sound is not created where no air is present.

Nana76 [90]
Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.

Statistical time division multiplexing does not require the capacity of the circuit to be equal to the sum of the combined circu
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

Statistical Multiplexing is considered an example of communication link sharing which makes it comparable to DBA (Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation). Here, communication channels are broken down into data streams to optimize the communication process.

In Statistical Time-division Multiplexing, time slots are allocated to data streams for communication optimization. This method makes sure that no time slot or bandwidth is wasted.

Hence, the sum of combined circuits must not be equal to the capacity of the circuit to work effectively.
