An object is thrown vertically and has an upward velocity of 18 m/s when it reaches one

Answer:

20.78 m/s that we can approximate to option d (21 m/s)

Explanation:

The solution involves a lot of algebra and to be familiar with different convenient formulas for launching an object vertically under the action of gravity.

First you need to recall (or derive) the formula for the maximum height reached by an object with launches with initial velocity v_0:

Maximum height = \frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}

Therefore one fourth of such height would be: \frac{{v_0}^2}{8g}

Second, find what would be the time needed to reach that height by solving for the time in the equation for the vertical position:

y(t)=v_0*t-\frac{g}{2} t^2 \\\frac{{v_0}^2}{8g} = v_0*t-\frac{g}{2} t^2\\\frac{g}{2} t^2-v_0*t+\frac{{v_0}^2}{8g}=0

And now, solve for t in the last equation using the quadratic formula to find the time needed for the object to reach that height (one fourth of the max height):

t=\frac{v_0+/-\sqrt{{v_o}^2-4*\frac{g}{2}*\frac{{v_o}^2}{8g}  } }{g} = \frac{v_0+/-\sqrt{{v_o}^2-\frac{{v_o}^2}{4}  } }{g} =\frac{v_0+/-\sqrt{\frac{3{v_o}^2}{4}  } }{g} = \\=\frac{v_0+/-v_0\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}  } }{g} =\frac{v_0+/-v_0\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  } {g}

Next, use this expression for t in the equation for the velocity at any time t in the object's trajectory that comes from the definition of acceleration;

v(t)=v_0-g*t

Then for the time we just found, this new equation becomes:

v=v_0-g(\frac{v_0+/-v_0\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}}{g}) =v_0-v_0+/- v_0\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = +/- v_0 \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

Now, using that the velocity at this height is 18 m/s, and solving for the unknown velocity v_0, we get:

v_0=\frac{18*2}{\sqrt{3} } =\frac{36}{\sqrt{3} }= 20.78\frac{m}{s}

A capacitor C is fully charged by connecting it to battery of V Volt. Then it is disconnected from battery. If the separation be
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

When it is disconnected with the battery , the charge stored in it becomes fixed . When the plate distance becomes half , its capacitance becomes twice from C to 2C . Let charge stored in it at the time of disconnection from battery be Q . Let plate separation reduces from d to d / 2

So charged stored in it will remain unchanged .

ii )

Potential difference = charge / capacitance

in the first case potential difference = Q / C

in the second case potential difference = Q / 2C

So potential difference becomes half .

iii ) electric field = potential diff / plate separation

in the first case electric field = Q / (d x C )

in the second case electric field = 2 Q / (d x 2C)

= Q / (d  x C )

So electric field remains unchanged .

iv)

energy stored in first case = Q² / 2C

In the second case energy stored = Q² / 2x2C

so energy stored becomes half .

Write the equations of motions​
Sav [38]

Answer:

In physics, equations of motion are equations that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of time.[1] More specifically, the equations of motion describe the behaviour of a physical system as a set of mathematical functions in terms of dynamic variables. These variables are usually spatial coordinates and time, but may include momentum components. The most general choice are generalized coordinates which can be any convenient variables characteristic of the physical system.[2] The functions are defined in a Euclidean space in classical mechanics, but are replaced by curved spaces in relativity. If the dynamics of a system is known, the equations are the solutions for the differential equations describing the motion of the dynamics.

A 14,700 N car is traveling at 25 m/s. The brakes are applied suddenly, and the car slides to a stop. The average braking force
Vlada [557]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

vo = 25 m/sec 
<span>vf = 0 m/sec </span>
<span>Fμ = 7100 N (Force due to friction) </span>
<span>Fg = 14700 N </span>
<span>With the force due to gravity, you can find the mass of the car: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>14700 N = m (9.8 m/sec²) </span>
<span>m = 1500 kg </span>
<span>Now, we can use the equation again to find the deacceleration due to friction: </span>
<span>F = ma </span>
<span>7100 N = (1500 kg) a </span>
<span>a = 4.73333333333 m/sec² </span>
<span>And now, we can use a velocity formula to find the distance traveled: </span>
<span>vf² = vo² + 2a∆d </span>
<span>0 = (25 m/sec)² + 2 (-4.73333333333 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>0 = 625 m²/sec² + (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>-625 m²/sec² = (-9.466666666667 m/sec²) ∆d </span>
<span>∆d = 66.0211267605634 m </span>
<span>∆d = 66.02 m</span>

You throw a rock upward. The rock is moving upward, but it is slowing down. If we define the ground as the origin, the position
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

A. Positive, positive

Explanation:

As we defined the ground is the origin, as long as the rock is above the ground, its position would always be positive.

As for velocity, as long as the rock is moving upwards, its direction is also upward, so its velocity is always positive. The velocity will become negative when the rock falls down.
