a) 2.75 s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by the equation

y= h+ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4 m is the initial height of the ball

u = 12 m/s is the initial velocity of the ball (upward)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

We can find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground by substituting y=0 into the equation:

0 = 4 + 12t - 4.9 t^2

This is a second-order equation. By solving it for t, we find:

t = -0.30 s

t = 2.75 s

The first solution is negative, so we discard it; the second solution, t = 2.75 s, is the one we are looking for.

b) -15.0 m/s (downward)

The final velocity of the ball can be calculated by using the equation:

v=u-gt

where

u = 12 m/s is the initial (upward) velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

t is the time

By subsisuting t = 2.75 s, we find the velocity of the ball as it reaches the ground:

v=12 -(9.8)(2.75)=-15.0 m/s

And the negative sign means the direction is downward.

Hlo <br><br> what is a force........??
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Formula

Newton's Second Law

F = m * a

F = force

m = mass of an object

a = acceleration

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What
natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

could anyone determinate the period knowing that it performs 4000 vibrations in 0.5 minutes, Sorry my english is bad
dexar [7]

Answer:

f = 4000 / 30 sec = 133.3    vibrations/sec

P = 1 / f = .0075 sec       period of 1 vibration
