Answer:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Explanation:

The general kinematic equation for horizontal displacement is gives as:

Δx = v₀t + (1/2)at²

Where

Δx = change in the x direction

v₀ = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

If the body is vertically instead of horizontally, Δx is changed to Δy

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)at²

For a vertical moving body, the acceleration it experiences is the gravitational accerelation of the earth 'g'

So the equation becomes:

Δy = v₀t + (1/2)gt²

where g = 9.81 m/s if the body is moving downwards and g = -9.81 m/s if the body is moving upwards

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want

denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.

1. An object (m = 500 g) with an initial speed of 0.2 m/s collides with another object (m = 1.5 kg) which was at rest before the

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )

We shall apply conservation of momentum law to solve the problem.

mv = ( M +m) V , m and M are masses of small and large object , v is the velocity of small object before collision and V is the velocity of both the objects together after collision .

.5 x .2 = (1.5 + .5)V

V = .05 m /s

2 ) We shall use formula for velocity of object after elastic collision as follows

v₁ = $\frac{(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)} u_1+\frac{2m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

m₁ and m₂ are masses of first and second object u₁ and u₂ are their initial velocity and v₁ and v₂ are their final velocity.

Putting the values

= $\frac{(200-1000)}{(1000+200)} \times 1 +\frac{2 \times1000\times0}{(1000+200)}$

= - .66 m /s

Since the sign is negative so it will be in opposite direction .

A 10.00-kilogram block slides along a horizontal, frictionless surface at 12.0 meters per second for 6.00 seconds. The magnitude

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

120 kg m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the block in this problem,

m = 10.0 kg (mass of the block)

v = 12.0 m/s (speed of the block)

Therefore the magnitude of the block's momentum is

$p=(10.0 kg)(12.0 m/s)=120 kg m/s$

Which physical property is used to test the purity of metal ?

dimulka [17.4K]

The physical and chemical properties of metal can differ between the elements but if we try and generalize.

Physical properties are that they are hard, dense, shiny, malleable (can be bent), ductile (can be pulled into wires), a good conductor of heat and have high melting points meaning that they are solid at room temperature

Their chemical properties include being good electrical conductors, they make metallic bonds (ionic bonds with non-metals) and their atoms are arranged in a lattice. They release hydrogen when reacted with acids and are usually cations (positive ions).
