If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 40 ft/s, it height in feet after t second is given by y

=40t−16t2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting
(i) 0.5 seconds

(ii) 0.1 seconds

(iii) 0.01 seconds

Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=2.

We should first calculate the highest point that ball reaches. 
y' = 40 - 32t = 0
t = 40/32 = 1,25s
y = 25 feet.

To calculate average velocity we use simple formula:
Vav=s/t   where s is traveled distance by the time t.



for t=2  we calculate y
y = 16
(i)  for t = 2,5     y = 0
Vav = 16/0.5 = 32 feet/s
(ii) for t = 2.1     y = 13.44
Vav = 2.56/0.1 = 25.6 feet/s
(iii) for t = 2.01  y = 15.7584
Vav = 0.2416/0.01= 24.16 feet/s

it seems like the answer would be 24 feet/s. There is a way to calculate that.

Q1: We drop this 0.1 kg apple 1 m. What speed does it hit the ground
77julia77 [94]
Potential energy is measured using formula Ep=mgh
m=mass (kg)
g= acceleration due to gravity (which is 9.8 on earth)
h= height in metres above ground

For this question
m=0.1
g=9.8
h=1
So Ep=0.1(9.8)(1)
Ep=0.98 Joules

When it is dropped all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which can be measured using formula
Ek=1/2m(v^2) (v=final velocity)

Since all potential energy in this q is converted to kinetic we know Ek=0.98Joules and our mass is the same (0.1kg)

So when we sub everything in we get
0.98=1/2(0.1)(v^2)
0.98=0.05(v^2)||divide both side by 0.05
19.6=v^2 ||square root both sides
v=4.4 m/s

Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element? A) an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons and 6
iogann1982 [59]

An isotope is an atom with a different number of neutrons than another atom of the same element. Since atoms of the same element all have the same number of protons, choice B(6pro &6neu vs. 6pro&7neu) is an example of isotopes

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meter
Soloha48 [4]

A glass pipe system has a very corrosive liquid flowing in it (think hydrofluoric acid, say). The liquid will destroy flow meters, but you need to know the flow rate. One way of measuring the flow rate is to add a fluorescent dye to the liquid at a known concentration, and then downstream activate the dye by UV light and then measure the dye concentration by emitted light. If the dye is added at 1.00 g/s, and the dye concentration downstream is 0.050% by mass, what is the unknown flow rate in kg/h

What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.00 g/cm3 and a mass of 600g?
Mademuasel [1]
The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density
m = mass
and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us 
V(D) = m 
now we divide D on both sides giving us
V = m/D 

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3
so
V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL
 
If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert.
