<h2>Answer:</h2>

9.86s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The total time (t_{T}) the ball is in flight is the sum of the time taken (t_{H}) to reach maximum height and the time taken (t_{G}) to strike the ground from maximum height. i.e

t_{T} = t_{H} + t_{G}

<em>Calculate time taken to reach maximum height, </em>t_{H}.

Using one of the equations of motion;

v = u + at   ------------------------(i)

Where;

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 (at maximum height, velocity is zero (0));

u = initial velocity of the ball = 42.4m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = g = -10m/s² ( this is negative since the ball is thrown upwards against the direction of gravity)

t = time taken to reach maximum height = t_{H}

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

0 = 42.4 - 10(t_{H})

t_{H} = 42.4 / 10

t_{H} = 4.24s

<em>The time taken (</em>t_{H}<em>)to reach maximum height = 4.24s</em>

<em />

<em>Calculate the time taken to strike the ground from maximum height, </em>t_{G}<em />

(i) First let's get the maximum height reached relative to the roof of the building using another equation of motion;

h = ut + \frac{1}{2} x at^{2}      --------------------------(ii)

Where;

h = maximum height;

u = initial velocity of the ball = 42.4m/s

a = -10m/s² ( this is negative since the ball is thrown upwards against the direction of gravity)

t = time taken to reach maximum height = 4.24s

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

=> h = (42.4 x 4.24) - \frac{1}{2} x 10 x 4.24²

=> h = 179.776 - 89.888

=> h = 89.888m

(ii) Second, let's find the time taken to strike the ground from maximum height using the same equation (ii);

Where;

h = total height relative to the ground = maximum height + building height

h = 89.888 + 68.1 = 157.988m

u = initial velocity from maximum height = 0 (at maximum height, velocity is 0)

a = acceleration due to gravity = +10m/s² (this is positive since the ball now moves downwards in the direction of gravity)

t = time taken from maximum height to strike the ground = t_{G}

Substitute these values into equation(ii);

157.988 = 0(t_{G}) + \frac{1}{2} x 10 x t_{G}²

157.988 = 5t_{G}²

Solve for t_{G};

t_{G}² = 157.988 / 5

t_{G}² = 31.60

t_{G} = \sqrt{31.60}

t_{G} = 5.62s

Therefore, time taken to strike the ground from maximum height is 5.62s

<em>Calculate the total time in air, </em>t_{T}<em></em>

t_{T} = t_{H} + t_{G}

t_{T} = 4.24 + 5.62

t_{T} = 9.86s

The total time the ball is in flight is 9.86s

Answer:

7.45 s.

Explanation:

Given:

h = 68.1 m

vi = 0 m/s

vf = 42.4 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Using,

h = vi*t +1/2*(a*t^2)

68.1 = 1/2 * (9.81*t^2)

t = sqrt((68.1*2)/9.81)

= 3.726 s.

Total time of flight = 2*t

= 2 * 3.726

= 7.45 s.

If a mass of .343 kg moves down a 5m ramp in 5.8 seconds, what is the velocity and KE developed by the moving mass
Soloha48 [4]

Velocity 0.86m/s

0.13J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass = 0.343kg

distance = 5m

time taken = 5.8s

Unknown:

Velocity of mass = ?

Kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. It is a vector quantity that shows magnitude and direction.

 Mathematically;

   Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

  Velocity  = \frac{5}{5.8 } = 0.86m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is expressed mathematically as:

  Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2}  m v^{2}

m is the mass

v is the velocity

  Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2 }   x    0.343  x    0.86^{2} = 0.13J

The speed of a certain electron is 995 km s−1 . If the uncertainty in its momentum is to be reduced to 0.0010 per cent, what unc
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The uncertainty in the location that must be tolerated is 1.163 * 10^{-5} m

Explanation:

From the uncertainty Principle,

Δ_{y} Δ_{p} = \frac{h}{2\pi }

The momentum P_{y} = (mass of electron)(speed of electron)

                                = (9.109 * 10^{-31}kg)(995 * 10^{3} m/s)

                                = 9.0638 * 10^{-25}kgm/s

If the uncertainty is reduced to a 0.0010%, then momentum

                              = 9.068 * 10^{-30}kgm/s

Thus the uncertainty in the position would be:

                              Δ_{y} = \frac{h}{2\pi } * \frac{1}{9.068 * 10^{-30} }

                              Δ_{y} \geq  1.163 * 10^{-5}m
