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

One litre of crude oil weighs 9.6N. Calculate its specific weight, density and specific gravity.​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{9600 \frac{N}{m^3}, 978.59 \frac{kg}{m^3}, and \ 0.978}"

Explanation:

Given:

\to v=1\ liter= 10^{-3} \ m^3\\\\\to  w= 9.6 \ N\\

calculation:

Specific \ weight =\frac{w}{v}=\frac{9.6}{10^{-3}}=9600 \frac{N}{m^3} \\\\w=mg\\\\m= \frac{w}{g}=\frac{9.6}{9.81}=0.9785\ kg\\\\\rho\ (density)=\frac{m}{v}=\frac{0.9785}{10^{-3}}=978.59 \frac{kg}{m^3}\\\\specific \ gravity = \frac{\prho \ obj}{\rho w}=\frac{978.54}{1000}=0.978

If you placed a dot on a world map to represent the location of every earthquake in the last 100 years, where would you see eart
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
If we are to place dots to teh places that have been struck by an earthquake these past 100 years, the dots would be concentrated in the east and southeast Asia region. This is because of the presence of the Pacific ring of fire. This is a major area in the Pacific Ocean where most of the earthquakes are likely to occur.

A car is traveling 35 mph on a smooth surface. If a balanced force is applied to the car, what happens?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Here is the answer.

Explanation:

Balanced forces- they are those forces that produce 0 resultant forces.

therefore, on applying a balanced force on the object, it wouldn't result in any change, as resultant force would be 0.
