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 happens to light when it passes through a lens?
Novay_Z [31]
B. Light refracts as it passes through a lens.

The bending of a ray of light also occurs when light passes into and out of a glass lens. ... Because a convex lens can cause rays of light to converge, it can produce an image on a screen.

A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Train travels towards south with a velocity if v_t=25\ m/s

Rain makes an angle of \theta =66^{o}  with vertical

If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity

suppose v_r is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then

v_r\sin\theta =v_t

v_r\times \sin (66)=25

v_r=27.36\ m/s

Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto the floor from a height of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If
arlik [135]

Answer:

Part a)

a = 1260.3 m/s^2

Part b)

Direction = upwards

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m

then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_1^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.81)(4.0)

v_1 = 8.86 m/s

Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - v_2^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.00)

v_2 = 6.26 m/s

Part a)

Average acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12.0 \times 10^{-3}}

a = 1260.35 m/s^2

Part B)

As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards

So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards
