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

Physics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
3 0

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.

two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges
Hoochie [10]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the  distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km

A bicyclist travels 4.5 km west, then travels 6.7 km at an angle 27.0 degrees South of West. What is the magnitude of the bicycl
Dimas [21]

Answer:

<em>10.90km</em>

Explanation:

Magnitude of the total displacement is expressed using the equation

d = √dx²+dy²

dx is the horizontal component of the displacement

dy is the vertical component of the displacement

dy = -6.7sin27°

dy = -6.7(0.4539)

dy = -3.042

For the  horizontal component of the displacement

dx = -4.5 - 6.7cos27

dx = -4.5 -5.9697

dx = -10.4697

Get the magnitude of the bicyclist's total displacement

Recall that: d = √dx²+dy²

d = √(-3.042)²+(-10.4697)²

d = √9.2538+109.6146

d = √118.8684

<em>d = 10.90km</em>

<em>Hence the magnitude of the bicyclist's total displacement is 10.90km</em>

A student pushes a 12.0 kg box with a horizontal force of 20 N. The friction force on the box is 9.0 N. Which of the following i
Hoochie [10]

The acceleration of the box is approximately 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m = 12.0 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_a - F_f

where

F_a = 20 N is the applied forward force

F_f=9.0 N is the friction force

Combining the two equations,

F_a-F_f=ma

And solving for the acceleration,

a=\frac{F_a-F_f}{m}=\frac{20-9}{12}=0.9 m/s^2\sim 1 m/s^2
