Ron hits a tennis ball straight upwards with an initial speed that is double the initial speed of a ball hit by Luis. A 3rd stud

ent thinks Ron's projectile will go twice as high because the initial speed was double. Why is the 3rd student wrong? .

Answer:

height is 4 times

Explanation:

speed of ball hit by Luis is u

speed of ball hit by Ron is 2u

Let the maximum height traveled by the ball hit by Luis is h and by the ball hit by Ron is h'

At maximum height, the final velocity of ball is zero in both the cases.

Use third equation of motion, we get

For Luis :

v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

0^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

h=\frac{u^{2}}{2g}    .... (1)

For Ron :

v^{2}=u^{2}-2gh

0^{2}=4u^{2}-2gh'

h'=\frac{4u^{2}}{2g}    .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

\frac{h'}{h}=4

h' = 4 h

Thus, the statement of third student is wrong.

forsale [732]

#Case -1

If Pulling force is less than frictional force the object won't move .

#Case-2

If Pulling force is greater than frictional force then object will be .

In order to calculate friction force you need Limiting friction first .

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_L=\mu sN

u s is coefficient of static friction and N is normal reaction

Or

Answer:

Speed has no effect on voltage.

Explanation:

The voltage of the battery in your car is always 12 to 13.5 volts. It makes no difference whether the car is home in the garage or zooming down the interstate.

Why is carbon is considered tetravalent?
valentina_108 [34]
The word tetravalent means having a valence of four because of the prefix - tetra. Carbon is considered tetravalent because it has four electrons in its outermost orbital. In order to follow the octet rule, it has to share four other electrons with other atoms. Thus, the answer is the first choice.
