Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

The magnitude of the electric force between two protons is 2.30 10-26 n. how far apart are they?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
The electric force between two charge objects is calculated through the Coulomb's law.
                               F = kq₁q₂/d²
The value of k is 9.0 x 10^9 Nm²/C² and the charge of proton is 1.602 x10^-19 C. Substituting the known values from the given,
                           2.30x10^-26 = (9.0 x 10^9 Nm²/C²)(1.602 x10^-19C)²/d²
The value of d is equal to 0.10 m.

You are playing a game called "Will It Float?" In this game, you are given a large, square can of tuna. If you know the density
Delicious77 [7]
The only information you would need to decide if the can will float is the density of the can, which requires knowing the mass and volume. If the density of the can is less than one, the can will float. if it is greater than one, it will not float, as water's density is one.
