Answer:

a) v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we got the ball's equation of position:

y=65t-16t^{2}

a) To find the average velocity at the given time we need to use the following formula:

v=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{t_{2}-t_{1}  }

Being said that, we need to find the ball's position at t=2, t=2.5, t=2.1, t=2.01, t=2.001

y_{t=2}=65(2)-16(2)^{2} =66ft

y_{t=2.5}=65(2.5)-16(2.5)^{2} =62.5ft

v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s

--

y_{t=2.1}=65(2.1)-16(2.1)^{2} =65.94ft

v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s

--

y_{t=2.01}=65(2.01)-16(2.01)^{2} =66.0084ft

v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s

--

y_{t=2.001}=65(2.001)-16(2.001)^{2} =66.001ft

v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s

b) To find the instantaneous velocity we need to derivate the equation

v=\frac{df}{dt}=65-32t

v=65-32(2)=1ft/s

You throw a rock straight up and find that it returns to your hand 3.40 s after it left your hand. Neglect air resistance. What
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

Explanation:

The equations that describe the height and velocity of the rock are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the object at time t

y0 = initial height

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² if upward is positive)

v = velocity of the object at time t

We know that at t = 3.40 s, the rock is in your hand again. Then, if we place the origin of the frame of reference at your hand, the position of the rock at 3.40 s is 0 m. Using the equation of the position, we can calculate the initial velocity that we will need to obtain the max-height.

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = v0 · 3.40 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)²

(1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (3.40 s)² ) / 3.40 s = v0

v0 = 16.7 m/s

At max-height, the velocity of the rock is 0. Then, using the equation of velocity we can calculate the time it takes the rock to reach the max-height. With that time, we can calculate the maximum height.

v = v0 + g · t      (at max-height, v = 0)

0 = 16.7 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

- 16.7 m/s /  - 9.8 m/s² = t

t = 1.70 s

Now, using this time in the equation of height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 0 m + 16.7 m/s · 1.70 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.70 s)²

y = 14.2 m

The maximum height of the rock is 14.2 m

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

tex]2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}[/tex] ultraviolet region

2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m} x-ray region

Explanation:

T = Temperature

b = Constant of proportionality = 2.898\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m K}

\lambda = Wavelength

T=10^4\ \text{K}

From Wein's law we have

\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^4}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}

The wavelength of the radiation will be 2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m} and it is in the ultraviolet region.

T=10^7\ \text{K}

\lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^7}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}

The wavelength of the radiation will be 2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m} and it is in the x-ray region.
