Answer:

The acceleration is Zero

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown upward, its motion is against gravity and the gravitational force. Hence, it has its acceleration as - g.

The very instant that the ball hits the ceiling is the moment it's upward motion stops.

Hence, in that instant, it is motionless or static.

If it is static, then, definitely, velocity is Zero and acceleration is also Zero.

However, after the ball hits the ceiling, it begins to fall back to the ground. It falls in the same direction as the gravitational force and so, its acceleration is +g.

A pickup truck and a hatchback car start at the same position. If the truck is moving at a constant 33.2m/s and the hatchback ca
love history [14]

Answer:

The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m

Explanation:

Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e. s_{o} = 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.

Truck:

v_{i} = 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)

Hatchback:

a=5m/s^{2}, v_{i} = 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

putting in the data we will get

s=(1/2)(5)t^{2}

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

2.5t^{2}-33.2t=0

which will give,

t = 13.28 s

so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.

putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give

s = 440.896 m

So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.

near the surface of the earth, objects in free fall (but not terminal velocity) experience a. constant distance. b. constant acc
Alenkasestr [34]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. constant acceleration.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Free fall is the type of motion of a body or an object when only gravity is acting on it.
  • <em><u>All objects undergo free fall on the earth surface at the same rate irrespective of their mass. This is because the gravitational field on the surface of the earth 9.8 N/kg, causes and acceleration equivalent to 9.8 m/s/s of any object in free fall motion.</u></em>
  • Therefore,<u> the acceleration of any freely falling object near the surface of the earth is 9.8 m/s².</u>

What are the three important safety factors for surgical technologists to consider when exposed to ionizing radiation?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Exposure time limitation, shielding and distance.

Explanation:

  • Limitation of exposure time, since the dose received is directly proportional to the exposure time, so that, at a shorter time, lower dose. For this reason, planning is suggested, to reduce time.
  • Use of shields. This allows a reduction in the dose received by the technician when filtered by the barrier (screen). There are two types of shields or screens, the primary barriers (attenuate the radiation of the primary beam) and the secondary barriers (avoid diffuse radiation).
  • Distance to the radioactive source. The dose received is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the radioactive source. Therefore, if the distance is doubled, the dose received will decrease by a quarter. Reason for this, it is advisable to use devices or remote controls whenever possible.
