A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s directly upward.

Choose upward as the positive direction in your analysis. (a) What is the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches?

Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

0=v_i^2+2ah

or

h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}

which for our values is:

h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 $

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces

Each of the following would cause an increase in blood pressure except __________.
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

an inhibitor of angiotensin II

Explanation:

Angiotensin, specifically angiotensin II binds to many receptors in the body to affect several systems. It can normally increase blood pressure by constricting the blood vessels but with the introduction of an inhibitor, it wouldn't bring about an increase in blood pressure.

What does a worm and wheel mechanism do to torque and speed​
sergejj [24]

Answer:Explanation:

Image result for what does a worm and wheel mechanism do to torque and speed​

Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can reduce rotational speed or transmit higher torque. ... Each full 360 degree turn of a single start worm advances the gear by one tooth. For a multi start worm the gear reduction equals the number of teeth on the gear divided by the number of starts on the worm.

amping equipment weighing 6.0 kN is pulled across a frozen lake by means of ahorizontal rope. The coecient of kinetic friction i
Harman [31]

Answer:

Work done = 422.45 kJ

Explanation:

given,                                  

weight of equipment = 6 kN      

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.05          

distance up to which it is pulled = 1000 m

constant acceleration = 0.2 m/s²                    

Work done by the camper = ?                

actual acceleration acting a'      

m a = m a' - μ mg            

a' = a + μ g                      

a' = 0.2 + 0.05 x 9.8                

a' = 0.69 m/s²                              

Work done = Force x distance

F = m a'                                                            

F = \dfrac{6000}{9.8} \times 0.69

F = 422.44897 N                            

Work done = F x d                          

Work done = 422.44897 x 1000

Work done = 422449 J                  

Work done = 422.45 kJ

A car, travelling at constant speed on a straight, level road, accelerates so that its speed is now doubled. By what factor will
Anettt [7]

Answer:

We know that, the kinetic energy

ke=  \frac{1 }{2} m{v}^{2}  

and we also know that the acceleration causes the speed's value to be doubled

Hence, v becomes 2v

When 2v is squared, it becomes 4v^2. After substituting this value in the equation above and comparing it,

We can conclude that the Kinetic Energy has increased

by a factor of 4
