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.

A straight wire segment 2 m long makes an angle of 30degrees with a uniform magnetic field of 0.37 T. Find the magnitude of the
Fittoniya [83]

Answer : 0.814 newton

Explanation:

force (magnetic) acting on the wire is given by

F= ? , I=2.2amp , B = 0.37 T

F = B i l sin (theta) = 0.37 x 2.2 x 2x 0.5 = 0.814N

If the mass of a material is 50 grams and the volume of the material is 12 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?
AlekseyPX
The density of the material would be 
25/6 grams per cm^3.
to obtain the result above this is what we do:
density is calculated as: (the mass of the given material or object) / volume of the material 
which leads us to 50grams /12cm^3
