Answer:

45 J

Explanation:

Assuming the level at which the ball is thrown upwards is the ground level,

We can use the equations of motion to obtain the maximum height covered by the ball and then calculate the potential energy

u = initial velocity of the ball = 3 m/s

h = y = vertical distance covered by the ball = ?

v = final velocity of the ball at the maximum height = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

v² = u² + 2ay

0 = 3² + 2(-9.8)(y)

19.6y = 9

y = (9/19.6)

y = 0.459 m

The potential energy the ball will have at the top of its motion = mgh

mgh = (10)(9.8)(0.459) = 45 J

Hope this Helps!!!

A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed of 0.96 c relative to you. What would you measure for the length of the stic

Fed [463]

Answer:

The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Explanation:

Given that,

Relative speed of stick v= 0.96 c

Speed of light $c= 2.99793\times10^{8}\ m/s$

Proper length of stick = 1 m

We need to calculate the length of the stick

Using formula of length

$\Delta l=\Delta l_{0}\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2})}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.96)^2c^2}{c^2}}$

$\Delta l=1\sqrt{1-(0.96)^2}$

$\Delta l=0.28\ m$

We need to calculate the time the stick take to move

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{\Delta l}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{0.28}{0.96\times(2.99793\times10^{8})}$

$t=9.72\times10^{-10}\ sec$

$t=0.97\ ns$

Hence, The length of the stick is 0.28 m.

The time the stick take to move is 0.97 ns.

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. 

Explanation:

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration is $1m/s^2$ and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

 $a=1 m/s^2$ 

t=50 s 

initial speed u=72km/h 

we have to convert this speed into m/s 

 $u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s$ 

Distance covered in accelerating phase $S=ut+1/2 at^2$ 

 $=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2$ 

 $=1000+1250=2250 m$ 

If a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

Here length of train A+length of train $B=400+400=800 m$ 

Hence the initial distance between the trains = $2250-800=1450 m$

Please help!!!!!!!!!

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

v = 12.86 km/h

v = 3.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance, d = 13.5 km

The time, t = 21/20 h

= 1.05 h

The velocity of a body is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

v = d / t

= 13.5 km / 1.05 h

= 12.86 km/h

The conversion of km/h to m/s

1 km/h = 0.28 m/s

12.86 km/h = 12.86 x 0.28 m/s

= 3.6 m/s

Hence, the velocity in m/s is, v = 3.6 m/s
