You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th

e downward direction (assuming air resistance can be ignored). What was the average acceleration vector of the ball? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.6m. Find the focal length
Yuki888 [10]
Given,

Radius of curvature of concave mirror = 1.6m

We know that ,

Focal length = radius/2

Hence ,

Focal length of concave mirror = radius of concave mirror /2

=> F = 1.6/2

=> F = 0.8m

Hence the focal length of concave mirror is 0.8 m

seropon [69]

Given data

*The given 4th harmonic frequency is 31.5 Hz

The fundamental frequency is calculated as

\begin{gathered} f_n=\frac{31.5}{4} \\ =7.875\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 7.875 Hz

¿A qué velocidad debe circular un auto de carreras para recorrer 87 km en 20 min? (pasar a metros por segundo m/s)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

Explanation:

Dado

Distancia a recorrer por el coche de carreras = 87 Km

1 km = 1000 m

Por lo tanto, 87 km = 87000 m

Tiempo necesario para viajar 87 km / 87000 metros = 20 minutos o 20 * 60 = 1200 segundos

Velocidad en m / s = 87000/1200

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

A patient comes to an outpatient laboratory for a physician-ordered fasting test. The patient indicates that he forgot that the
Fynjy0 [20]

The patient eating a candy bar instead of fasting for the test should be told

that the test results will be wrong and he may receive a wrong diagnosis.

The medical practitioners told him to fast when coming for a reason and he

forgetting and eating something means the objective for the test may have

been defeated.

This is why it's best to explain to him about the consequences of his actions

which is likely getting a wrong result and diagnosis.
