Answer:

Speed of ball equals 6.024 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the student throw the ball with a velocity of 'v' m/s horizontally.

Now the time in which the ball travels 10.0 meter horizontally shall be equal to the time in which it travels (15.0-1.50) meters vertically

Hence the time taken to cover a vertical distance of 13.50 meters is obatined using 2 equation of kinematics as

s=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 13.5}{9.81}}\\\\\therefore t=1.66 seconds

Since there is no acceleration in horizantal direction we infer that in time of 1.66 seconds the ball travels a distance of 10 meters

Hence the spped of throw is obatines as

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\v=\frac{10}{1.66}=6.024m/s

A uniform meter rule with a mass of 200g is suspended at zero mark pivotes at 22.0cm mark. calculate the mass of the rule.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The mass of the rule is 56.41 g  

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object suspended at zero mark, m₁ = 200 g

pivot of the uniform meter rule = 22 cm

Total length of meter rule = 100 cm

0                          22cm                                  100cm

-------------------------Δ------------------------------------

↓                                                                       ↓

200g                                                                 m₂  

Apply principle of moment

(200 g)(22 cm - 0)     = m₂(100 cm - 22 cm)

(200 g)(22 cm) = m₂(78 cm)

m₂ =  (200 g)(22 cm)  / (78 cm)

m₂ = 56.41 g  

Therefore,  the mass of the rule is 56.41 g

Which explanation best describes a wave?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.

A ball of clay falls freely to a concrete floor. The ball does not bounce noticeably, and it quickly comes to rest. What has hap
omeli [17]

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero
