Two identical balls are thrown vertically upward. the second ball is thrown with an initial speed that is twice that of the firs

t ball. how does the maximum height of the two balls compare? two identical balls are thrown vertically upward. the second ball is thrown with an initial speed that is twice that of the first ball. how does the maximum height of the two balls compare? the maximum height of the second ball is two times that of the first ball. the maximum heights of the two balls are equal. the maximum height of the second ball is four times that of the first ball. the maximum height of the second ball is 1.41 times that of the first ball. the maximum height of the second ball is eight times that of the first ball.

The motion of the ball on the vertical axis is an accelerated motion, with acceleration 
a=g=-9.81 m/s^2
The following relationship holds for an uniformly accelerated motion:
2aS=v_f^2 - v_i^2
where S is the distance covered, vf the final velocity and vi the initial velocity.

If we take the moment the ball reaches the maximum height (let's call this height h), then at this point of the motion the vertical velocity is zero:
v_f =0
So we can rewrite the equation as
2(-9.81 m/s^2) h=-v_i^2
from which we can isolate h
h= \frac{v_i^2}{19.62} (1)

Now let's assume that v_i is the initial velocity of the first ball. The second ball has an initial velocity that is twice the one of the first ball: 2v_i. So the maximum height of the second ball is
h= \frac{(2v_i)^2}{19.62}= \frac{4v_i^2}{19.62} (2)

Which is 4 times the height we found in (1). Therefore, the maximum height of ball 2 is 4 times the maximum height of ball 1.

What is electricity
fgiga [73]
Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has a center, called a nucleus. The negative charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually equal to the number of protons. Hope this helped. ;)

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

  F  =326.7 \ N

b

  M  = 6

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The mass of the rock is  m_r  =  200 \ kg

          The  length of the small object from the rock is  d  =  2 \ m

          The  length of the small object from the branch l  =  12 \ m

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The  force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

      W =  m_r *  g

substituting values

     W =   200 *  9.8

     W =   1960 \ N

 So  at  equilibrium the sum  of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

         \sum  M_f  =  F * cos \theta *  l  -  W cos\theta  *  d =  0

Here  \theta is very small so  cos\theta  *  l  =  l

                               and  cos\theta  *  d  =  d

Hence

       F *   l  -  W  * d =  0

=>    F  = \frac{W * d}{l}

substituting values

        F  = \frac{1960 *  2}{12}

       F  =326.7 \ N

The  mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

          M  = \frac{W}{F}

substituting values

        M  = \frac{1960}{326.7}

       M  = 6
