Ek - kinetic energy
v2 - unknown speed
v1 - 40 m/s (initial speed)
Ek=1/2 mv^2
Ek in half way up is 1/2 Ek (with another V)
So, Ek in the beginning is Ek1= 1/2 mv1^2
and in half way Ek2=1/2 mv2^2
Ek1=2*Ek2
1/2 mv1^2 = 2* 1/2 mv2^2
1/2 v1^2 = v2^2
1/2 40^2 = v2^2
800 = v2^2
v2 = sqrt (800) = 28,3 m/s

Use an example to describe the difference between tangential and centripetal acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Say you are holding a thread to the end of which is tied a stone. Now when you start whirling it around you will notice that two forces have to be applied simultaneously. One which pulls the thread inwards and the other which throws it sideways or tangentially.

Both these forces will generate their respective accelerations.

The one pointed inwards will generate centripetal or radial acceleration.

The one pointing sideways will generate tangential acceleratio

Explanation:

A major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is their direction

Centripetal means “center seeking”. Centripetal acceleration is always directed inward.

Tangential acceleration is always directed tangent to the circle.

Tangential acceleration results from the change in magnitude of the tangential velocity of an

object. An object can move in a circle and not have any tangential acceleration. No tangential

acceleration simply means the angular acceleration of the object is zero and the object is moving

with a constant angular velocity

Experimenting with free fall, Mariana observes that her baseball takes 1.5 s to travel the last 30m before hitting the ground. F
Art [367]

Answer:

37.8 m

Explanation:

At point 0, the ball is at height y₀.

At point 1, the ball is at height 30 m.

At point 2, the ball is at height 0 m.

Given:

y₁ = 30 m

y₂ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t₂ − t₁ = 1.5 s

Find: y₀

Use constant acceleration equation.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluate at point 1.

y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t₁ + ½ at₁²

30 m = y₀ + (0 m/s) t₁ + ½ (-10 m/s²) t₁²

30 = y₀ − 5t₁²

Evaluate at point 2.

y₂ = y₀ + v₀ t₂ + ½ at₂²

0 m = y₀ + (0 m/s) t₂ + ½ (-10 m/s²) t₂²

0 = y₀ − 5t₂²

y₀ = 5t₂²

Substitute:

y₀ = 5 (1.5 + t₁)²

y₀ = 5 (2.25 + 3t₁ + t₁²)

y₀ = 11.25 + 15t₁ + 5t₁²

30 = 11.25 + 15t₁ + 5t₁² − 5t₁²

30 = 11.25 + 15t₁

t₁ = 1.25

30 = y₀ − 5t₁²

30 = y₀ − 5(1.25)²

y₀ ≈ 37.8

likoan [24]
If we neglet air resistance for both objects then both will fall parallely(at same time) because time taken by both objects is independent of mass. there is famous experiment i.e"feather coin experiment" . normally we think that heaver objects falls faster but this is wrong concept. it depends on medium in which objects are moving.

kenny6666 [7]
Voltage = joules/coulomb

1 coulomb = 6.25 x 10^18 electrons
8.5 x 10^18 electrons = 1.36 coulombs

136 joules / 1.36 coulombs = 100 volts
===================================
The statement regarding the ball is false. Any object that's not hanging from something
or resting on something is accelerating downward on account of gravity. No matter what
direction you throw the ball, or how hard, its acceleration is 9.8 meters per second^2
directed downward, from the instant it leaves your hand until it hits the ground.
