How do you find speed of a ball at maximum height

Physics

Crazy boy [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

At maximum height, the vertical component of a ball's speed is 0. So the net speed is equal to whatever the horizontal component of the ball is. If the ball is launched straight up, the speed at the highest point is simply 0.

Find the gravitational potential energy of an 84 kg person standing atop Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m. Use sea level as

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$E=7.28\times 10^6\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a person, m = 84 kg

The person is standing at a top of Mt. Everest at an altitude of 8848 m

We need to find the gravitational potential energy of the person. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to the position of an object. It is given by :

E = mgh, g is the acceleration due to gravity

$E=84\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 8848\ m\\\\E=7283673.6\ J\\\\E=7.28\times 10^6\ J$

So, the gravitational potential energy of the person is $7.28\times 10^6\ J$

(a) See graph in attachment

The appropriate graph to draw in this part is a graph of velocity vs time.

In this problem, we have a horse that accelerates from 0 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 s.

Assuming the acceleration of the horse is uniform, it means that the velocity (y-coordinate of the graph) must increase linearly with the time: therefore, the velocity-time graph will appear as a straight line, having the final point at

t = 10 s

v = 15 m/s

(b) $1.5 m/s^2$

The average acceleration of the horse can be calculated as:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem,

u = 0

v = 15 m/s

t = 10 s

Substituting,

$a=\frac{15-0}{10}=1.5 m/s^2$

(c) 75 m

For a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance travelled can be calculated by using the suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

a is the acceleration

In this problem,

u = 0

t = 10 s

$a=1.5 m/s^2$

Substituting,

$s=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(10)^2=75 m$

(d) See attached graphs

In a uniformly accelerated motion:

- The distance travelled (x) follows the equation mentioned in part c,

$x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

So, we see that this has the form of a parabola: therefore, the graph x vs t will represents a parabola.

- The acceleration is constant during the motion, and its value is

$a=1.5 m/s^2$ (calculated in part b)

therefore, the graph acceleration vs time will show a flat line at a constant value of 1.5 m/s^2.

Which of the following would decrease the magnetic field around a wire?

shusha [124]

The correct answer is
<span>A. decreasing the current

In fact, the magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by
</span> $B(r) = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$
<span>where
</span> $\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability
<span>I is the current in the wire
r is the distance from the wire at which the field is calculated

We see from the formula that the intensity of the field, B, is directly proportional to the current I, so if the current decreases, the magnetic field strength B decreases as well.</span>

A swimmer swims a half lap, moving from the left end to the right end of a pool that is 50 meters long. What is the Distance and

lina2011 [118]

<h2><u>Answer</u>:</h2>

Distance = 50m

Displacement = 50m to the right

<h2><u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

<em>Distance</em> is the total length of a given path. It is a scalar quantity and thus takes no consideration on the direction of the path.

<em>Displacement</em> on the other hand is the change in position of an object. It is a vector quantity and takes consideration on the direction of the object.

From the question:

<em>The swimmer swims half lap by moving from the left end to the right end of a pool that is 50m long.</em>

Distance = total length of the given path = 50m

Displacement = change in position of the swimmer from the left end (0m) to the right end (50m) = 50 - 0 = 50m

Since direction is important in displacement, the complete details of the displacement should be 50m to the right

Frank is leaving Gainesville at 7:30 am and needs to be in Tampa by noon. He is cycling at an average speed of 18.3 mph. At what

garri49 [273]

If Frank leaves Gainesville at 7:30 am, the time he should arrive in Tampa is 12.00 pm after spending 4 hours 30 minutes on the road.

<h3>What is average speed? </h3>

The average speed of an object is the ratio of total distance to total time of motion.

V = total distance/total time

For Frank to be in Tampa by noon, he must spend atleast 4 hours 30 minutes on the road.

18.3 mph = d/4.5 h

d = 82.35 miles

The distance between Gainesville and Tampa is 82.35 miles.

Thus, we can conclude that, if Frank leaves Gainesville at 7:30 am, the time he should arrive in Tampa is 12.00 pm after spending 4 hours 30 minutes on the road.
