What height (displacement) will a ball reach if thrown upward with an initial velocity of 15 m/s

Physics
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

11.48 m

Explanation:

initial velocity (u) = 15 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

final velocity (v) = 0 ( the ball's speed reduces gradually when thrown until    

                                   becomes 0 at maximum height)

find the height reached.

  • height (s) = ut + 0.5 at^{2}

          we cannot apply this formula directly because we do no know the time        

          (t), so we first need to find the time

  • v = u + at

       0 = 15 + (-9.8 x t)   (the negative sign is because the ball is decelerating

         upwards)

         15 = 9.8t

         t = 1.53 s

  • now that we have the time we can put it into the initial equation
  • height (s) = ut + 0.5 at^{2}

       height (s) = (15 x 1.53)  + (0.5 x (-9.8) x 1.53^{2})

       height = 22.95 - 11.47 = 11.48 m

The moon has a mass of 7.34 . 102 kg and a radius of 1.74 . 106 meters. If you have a mass of 66 kg,
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

F=1.06\times 10^{-18}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the Moon, M=7.34\times 10^2\ kg

Mass of the person, m = 66 kg

The radius of Moon, r=1.74\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the force between the person and the Moon. The formula for the gravitational force is given by :

F=G\dfrac{Mm}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{7.34\times 10^2\times 66}{(1.74\times 10^6)^2}\\\\=1.06\times 10^{-18}\ N

So, the required force is 1.06\times 10^{-18}\ N.

Two adjacent natural frequencies of an organ pipe are found to be 550. Hz and 650. Hz. (a) Calculate the fundamental fre- quency
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) 100Hz

b) opened at both ends

c) 1.72m

Explanation:

Let fun be the nth Harmonic frequency organ. If pipe is opened at both ends.

L= length of pipe

Fyn =(n/x)

550hz= (n/2L)v 1

650hz=(n+1/2L)×v 2

Comparing 1 and 2

650hz= nv/2L + v/2L

550= 343/2L

L= 550×2/343 = 1.7m

c) fundamental frequency

Fo= nv/2L = 343/(2×1.7) = 100Hz

"If you double the wavelength of a wave on a particular string", what happens to the wave speed v and the frequency f ? (i) v do
nadezda [96]

Answer:

v doubles and f is unchanged

Explanation:

According to the formula v = f¶

Where v is the velocity of the wave

f is the frequency

¶ is the wavelength

Velocity is directly proportional to wavelength. Direct proportionality shows that increase in velocity will cause an increase in the wavelength and decrease in velocity will also cause a decrease in wavelength with the frequency not changing since the velocity and wavelength are both increasing and decreasing at the same rate.

According to the question, if the wavelength is doubled, the velocity (v) will also double while the frequency (f) remains unchanged.

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.
uysha [10]
Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. He then walks back toward his house but stops to talk to a neighbor whe
spin [16.1K]
Average velocity =

      (displacement) / (time for the displacement)
and
      (direction of the displacement) .

Displacement =

      (distance from the start-point to the end-point)
and
      (direction from the start-point to the end-point)   .

When Ben is 200 meters from the corner store,
he is (500 - 200) = 300 meters from his house.

His displacement is

         300 meters in the direction
                             from his house to the neighbor .


His average velocity is

         (300/910) =  0.33 meters per second, in the
                               direction from his house to the neighbor .
