Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2(Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.

How do you know when electric current is flowing in a lightbulb circuit?
daser333 [38]
The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

A train has an initial velocity of 44m/s and an accelaration of _4m/s calculate its velocity​
Kobotan [32]

Complete question:

A train has an initial velocity of 44m/s and an acceleration of -4m/s². calculate its velocity​ after 10s ?

Answer:

the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the train, u = 44 m/s

acceleration of the train, a = -4m/s² (the negative sign shows that the train is decelerating)

time of motion, t = 10 s

let the final velocity of the train = v

The final velocity of the train is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v = u + at

v = 44 + (-4 x 10)

v = 44 - 40

v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.
