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.

A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant sp
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:C

Explanation:

When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity v_0

Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero

i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.

So option c is the correct choice.

How does Lenz's Law illustrate the concept that "you can't get
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

When there is a change in magnetic flux linkage through a loop of wire, an electromotive force is induced in the loop, according to the Faraday-Newmann-Lenz Law:

\epsilon=-\frac{N\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

where

N is the number of turns in the loop

\Delta \Phi is the change in magnetic flux through the loop

\Delta t is the time elapsed

The negative sign in the formula represents Lenz's Law, and tells us about the direction of the electromotive force.

In fact, the negative sign means that the direction of the induced emf is such that to oppose to the change in the magnetic flux that originated the induced emf.

This is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy: no energy can be created out of nowhere. In fact, when the emf is induced in the loop, electrical energy appears in the circuit; however, this electric energy cannot come out of nowhere. Instead, it is just "created" from the transformation of some other form of energy (for instance, the mechanical energy that is used to move the loop in the magnetic field, and changing its magnetic flux).

The negative sign in Lenz's Law tells exactly this: the direction of the induced emf is such that it opposes the initial change in magnetic flux that generated the induced emf, so that overall the total energy is conserved.

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.
