A Ping-Pong ball is given an upward initial velocity. The force of air resistance causes the times of ascent and descent to be u

nequal. Which time is greater?
Physics

bazaltina [42]3 years ago

Answer:

Time of ascent is greater than time of descent.

Explanation:

The gravitational force always acts in the downward direction. The air drag always opposes the motion.

During ascent, the gravitational force and air drag act in opposite direction to the motion where as during descent, only air drag acts in opposite direction to the motion of the ball while gravitational force acts in the same direction. Thus, the time of ascent and descent become unequal with time of ascent being greater than time of descent.

What is the mathematical relationship between wavelength and velocity?
gavmur [86]

Answer:A wave has a wavelength λ, which is the distance between adjacent identical parts of the wave. The wave velocity and the wavelength are related to the wave's frequency and period by vw=λT or vw=fλ.

How far can your little brother get if he can travel at 2.5 m/s and in 5?
KatRina [158]

d=? v=2.5 u=0 and t=5 therefore the formula to be used to find the distance my brother covered is d=1/2(v-u)t

d=1/2(2.5-0)5

=6.15m

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.

A 6.0 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. The spring must be compressed 9.4 cm if the marble is to just reac
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a) \Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J, b) \Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J, c) k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

a) The change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system is:

\Delta U_{g} = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (22\,m)

\Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J

b) The change in the elastic potential energy of the spring is equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy, then:

\Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J

c) The spring constant of the gun is:

\Delta U_{k} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot x^{2}

k = \frac{2\cdot \Delta U_{k}}{x^{2}}

k = \frac{2\cdot (12.945\,J)}{(0.094\,m)^{2}}

k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}
