A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.
1 answer:
Answer:
Mass and velocity.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:
where is the mass of the object, and
is its velocity at a given point in time.
So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:
- mass of the ball
- velocity of the ball before it hits the ground
With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball before touching the gound can be determined.

Answer:
the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that;
= c / 2a
where f is frequency, c is the speed of light in air and a is the plate separation distance.
we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s
plate separation distance a = 7.11 mm = 0.0711 cm
so we substitute
= 3 × 10¹⁰ / 2( 0.0711 )
= 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s / 0.1422 cm
= 21.1 GHz which is larger than 15 GHz { TEM mode is only propagated along the wavelength }
Now, we determine the minimum wavelength required
Each non propagating mode is attenuated by at least 100 dB at 15 GHz
so
Attenuation constant TE₁ and TM₁ expression is;
∝₁ = 2πf/c × √( ( / f)² - 1 )
so we substitute
∝₁ = ((2π × 15)/3 × 10⁸ m/s) × √( (21.1 / 15)² - 1 )
∝₁ = 3.1079 × 10⁻⁷
∝₁ = 310.79 np/m
Now, To find the minimum wavelength, lets consider the design constraint;
20log₁₀ = -100dB
we substitute
20log₁₀ = -100dB
= 3.71 cm
Therefore, the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm
