Jason and Guy are throwing watermelons straight up from the ground. (They’re making fruit salad.) Jason throws his watermelon at

speed v and it spends time t in the air before smashing into the ground. Not to be outdone, Guy then throws his watermelon at speed 2v. How long is Guy’s watermelon in the air before it smashes back into the ground?

Answer:2t

Explanation:

Given

Jason throwing watermelon at speed v and it spend t time in air

time to reach max height

v_f=u_i+at'

0=v-gt'

t'=\frac{v}{g}

and time to reach bottom is also t'

t=2t'

t=2\frac{v}{g}

For guy throws his watermelon at speed 2v

So total time in air will be

t''=2\frac{2v}{g}

t''=4\frac{v}{g}

t''=2t

Nataliya [291]

If the point charge is placed at point E_W is equal to E_X.

<h3>Electric field inside a conducting cubic shell</h3>

The electric field inside a conducting cubic shell is zero. When a point charge is placed outside the shell, the electric field outside the shell is greater than the electric field inside the shell which is zero.

We can deduce the following;

  • Electric field inside the shell is zero, thus E_W = E_X =0
  • Electric field outside the shell is greater than electric field inside the shell

Thus, the only correct statement is, If the point charge is placed at point E_W is equal to E_X.

a baseball player is dashing toward home plate with a speed of 200 feet per hour. When he decides to hit the dirt. he slides for
Serggg [28]

To solve this problem we will use the kinematic formula for the final velocity.


V_f_x = V_0_x + a_xt


The final speed is 0 at the moment the player stops.


The time until it stops is 1.3 s


The initial speed is 200 feet / s  Note (check the speed units in the problem statement, 200ft / s is very much and 200ft / h is very small)

Then, we clear the formula.


a_x = \frac{(Vfx-V0x)}{t}\\ a_x = \frac{(0-200)}{1.3}\\ a_x = -153.5 ft / s ^ 2

Because the player is slowing down, the acceleration goes in the opposite direction to the player's movement, and that is why it is negative.



To answer part b) we use the following formula.


Vf ^ 2 = Vo ^ 2 + 2a * (x_2 - x_1)\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(V_f ^ 2-V_0 ^ 2)}{2a}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= \frac{(0-200 ^ 2)}{- 2 * 153.5}\\\\ (x_2 - x_1)= 130.29 feet
