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.

Which object had more potential energy when it was lifted to a distance of 1000 centimeters? Show your calculation.
RSB [31]

Explanation:

We Know That

POTENTIAL ENERGY= MASS*g*HEIGHT

When the objects are lifted to same height then the object with heavier mass would have the highest potential energy

The average lifetime of μ-mesons with a speed of 0.95c is measured to be 6 x 10^6 s. Find the average lifetime of μ-mesons in a
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

19.2*10^6 s

Explanation:

The equation for time dilation is:

t = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

Then, if it is observed to have a life of 6*10^6 s, and it travels at 0.95 c:

t = \frac{6*10^6}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2}}} = 19.2*10^6 s

It has a lifetime of 19.2*10^6 s when observed from a frame of reference in which the particle is at rest.

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?
mote1985 [20]
We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.

Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J

Thus, the answer is C.
