A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 12.1 m/s. How long will it take to reach a velocity of -24.5 m/s?

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 3.73 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Using the equation;

v = u + at

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration due to gravity (-g) and t is the time taken.

Therefore;

v = u - gt

Thus;

v = 24.5 m/s, u = 12.1 m/s, a = -g = 9.8 m/s²

-24.5 m/s = 12.1 - 9.8 × t

36.6 = 9.8 t

t = 36.6/9.8

= 3.73 seconds

What is the drawback to using superconductors?

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Option A

The cost of keeping the semiconductor below the critical temperature is unreasonable

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what superconductors are. Superconductors are special materials that conduct electrical current with almost zero resistance. This means that there is little or no need for a voltage source to be connected to them. As a matter of fact, once a superconductor is connected to a power supply, one can remove the power supply and the current will still flow.

However, most superconducts can only conduct at very low temperatures up to -200 degrees Celcius. This is because, at that temperature, their atoms and molecules are relatively settled, hence they pose little or no resistance to the flow of current.

This as you can guess is extremely difficult to do, as you will need a lot of effort to cool it to that temperature and maintain it.

This makes option a the answer:

The cost of keeping the semiconductor below the critical temperature is unreasonable.

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the

rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) $F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

b) $\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

$\Sigma F_{y}=0$

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

$-F_{y}-W+N=0$

When solving for the normal force we get:

$N=F_{y}+W$

we know that

W=mg

and

$F_{y}=Fsin \theta$

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}N$

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)$

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

$\Sigma F_{x}=0$

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

$-f+F_{x}=0$

we know that:

$F_{x}=Fcos \theta$

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

$-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing $\mu_{k}$ so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

we add $\mu_{k}mg$ to both sides so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg$

Nos we factor F so we get:

$F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg$

and now we divide both sides of the equation into $(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)$ so we get:

$F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

$f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$

and

F cos θ = f

when substituting one into the other we get:

$F cos \theta=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$

which can be solved for the static friction coefficient so we get:

$\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

which is the answer to part b.

Marina86 [1]

The answer would be stage of<span> conversion of Hydrogen to Helium.
At the end of this phase, the helium content of the suns will have the popping effect where more and more helium is now on the core resulting to higher temp and density as helium converted from hydrogen is much heavier.</span>
