Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of object is zero when it is at maximum height.

(b) The direction of velocity changes as it starts moving downwards after it reaches the maximum height.

(c) Acceleration due to gravity always acts downwards so its sign remains same.

Answer:

a) The velocity is zero when the object is at the highest vertical point (peak). b) Yes, at the peak, the velocity for an instant gets to zero and then the direction of motion and the velocity will be downwards.

C) No, the direction of ‘g’ will be opposite in direction when the object is on the way down when compared to what it was during the upward motion.

Explanation:

a) Since gravity is acting on the object and trying to pull it down to earth, the ball will slow down to a velocity of zero when the ball starts its free fall downward.

b) When the direction of the object changes, its velocity will also change direction.

c) When the ball has a positive velocity, gravity is pulling it in the opposite direction, so it has a negative acceleration trying to slow it down. When the ball's velocity is negative (downward free fall), the acceleration will be positive at the instant when the ball hits the ground. The only way to stop the ball from falling is a positive force upward, which results in a positive acceleration when the ball hits the ground.

Hope this helps :)

6 mph/s


Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of SI units, dividing the meter per second [m/s] by the second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared .

Different ____ of light through two separate mediums causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.
Fittoniya [83]

Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV

Explanation:

From the conservation of energy principle, we know that total energy of the system must remain conserved. So, the energy or particles before collision must be equal to the energy of photons after collision.

K.E OF electron + Rest Energy of electron + K.E of positron + Rest Energy of positron = 2(Energy of Photon)

where,

K.E OF electron = 3.58 MeV

Rest Energy of electron = 0.511 MeV

Rest Energy of positron = 0.511 MeV

K.E OF positron = 3.58 MeV

Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV + 3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV = 2(Energy of Photon)

Energy of Photon = 8.182 MeV/2

<u>Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV</u>
