Please Help! A ball is thrown straight up from the ground. What way does its acceleration point at the top?

Answer: A. Vertical

Explanation:

If the ball is thrown straight up from the ground (asuming the ground as height 0), this means its initial velocity is greater than zero.

While the ball rises and gains height, its velocity decreases until it reaches its maximum height where it stops (velocity equal to zero) and then it begins to fall to the ground.

Now, <u>during all the movement, the ball has an acceleration</u>, which is the acceleration due gravity (9.8 m/s^{2} on Earth), even at the top or maximum height (when the ball stops just for fraction of time), and this acceleration points vertical and downward to the Earth's center.

Answer:

d = 5.75m

Explanation:

Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

n1= refractive index of 1st medium= 1

n2= refractive index of 2nd medium = 1.33

r= angle of reflection

therefore,

$r = \sin^{-1}\frac{n_1\sin i}{n_2}$

Here,

i = 90 - θ

$\theta = \tan^-^1(\frac{1.5}{3} )\\\\=26.56^\circ$

$r = \sin^{-1}\frac{n_1\sin i}{n_2}$

$r = \sin^{-1}\frac{(1)\sin (90-26.56)}{1.33}\\\\r = 42.26m$

$\tan r = \frac{2.5}{d_1}$

$d_1 = \frac{2.5}{\tan (42.26)} \\\\d_1 = 2.75m$

Therefore, the distance is

d = 3 + d₁

d = 3 + 2.75

d = 5.75m

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1.2 m/s? 3.8 kg • m/s 4.2 kg • m/s 6.0 kg • m/s 6.2 kg • m/s

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Your answer will be 6.0kg•m/s

Explanation:

In the given question all the required details d given. Using these information's a person can easily find the momentum of the object. In the question it is already given that the mass of the object is 5 kg and the velocity at which it is traveling is 1.2 m/s.We know the equation of finding momentum asMomentum = mass * velocity = 5 * 1.2 = 6So the momentum of the object is 6 Newton.

A car traveled 112.0m in 24.500s, what was a car’s average speed?

kodGreya [7K]

Average speed of the car is 4.57 m/s

Explanation:

Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.

It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time

Here, distance = 112 m and time = 24.5 s

Speed of the car = 112/24.5 = 4.57 m/s
