Answer: 0.53m

Explanation:

According to the equation of motion v²= v₀²+2as

Since the body is launched upward, the final velocity at the maximum height will be "zero" since the body will momentarily be at rest at the maximum height i.e v = 0

Initial velocity given (v₀) = 3.25 m/s

The body is also under the influence of gravity but the acceleration due to gravity will be negative being an upward force (a = -g) and the distance (s) will serve as our maximum height (h)

The equation of motion will.now become

V = v₀² -2gh

Where v = 0 v₀ = 3.25m/s g = 10m/s h = ?

0 = 3.25² - 2(10)h

0 = 10.56 - 20h

-10.56 = -20h

h = 10.56/20

h = 0.53m

Therefore, the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point that the basketball will achieve is 0.53m

How is frequency related to the sound we hear?
Leviafan [203]
Frequency is the vibration of noise and the vibration determines the pitch, which we depend on to be a pitch or frequency we can hear. If it's too high or too low our ears can't hear it

1pt A cannon fires a 5-kg ball horizontally from a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.

then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:

a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)

Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.

if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s

and:

v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t

Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)

And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)

No I don’t think so. But it worth a try tho. Try it out.

what is the necessary condition within the hydrogen atom for balmer line photons to be absorbed by the hydrogen atom
luda_lava [24]

Explanation :

When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, the energy of atom gets changed.

If a photon gets absorbed, the electron will move to higher energy levels and then fall back to the lower energy levels. Then each time a photon will be absorbed whose energy is given by difference between the initial and final energy levels i.e

In Balmer series, the transition is from higher energy levels to n = 2.

So, the necessary condition for Balmer series is that the electron should be at first excited state or n = 2 level as shown in figure.
