Answer:

Velocity is same

Explanation:

Case I:

When the ball throws upwards

Let the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground is V'.

Initial velocity, u = V

Final velocity, v = V'

height = h

acceleration due to gravity = g

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

By substituting the values

V'^{2}=V^{2}+2(-g)(-h)

V'=\sqrt{V^{2}+2gh}      .... (1)

Case II:

When the ball throws downwards

Let the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground is V''.

Initial velocity, u = V

Final velocity, v = V''

height = h

acceleration due to gravity = g

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

By substituting the values

V''^{2}=V^{2}+2(-g)(-h)

V''=\sqrt{V^{2}+2gh}      .... (2)

By comparing the equation (1) and equation (2), we get

V' = V''

Thus, the velocity of balls in both the cases is same as they strikes the ground.

Answer:

They are the same (assuming there is no air friction)

Explanation:

Take a look at the picture.

When the first ball (the one thrown upward) gets to the point marked as A, the speed will has the exact same value V but the velocity will now point downward (just like the second ball).

So if you think about it, the first ball, from point A to the ground, will behave exactly like the second ball (same initial speed, same height).

That is why the speeds will be the same when they reach the ground.

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying p
wel

Answer:

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explanation:

given,

frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan=0.350 N

coefficient of friction between material =0.04

normal force = ?

using formula,

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force

normal\ force = \dfrac{Frictional\ force}{coefficient\ of\ friction}

normal\ force = \dfrac{0.350}{0.04}

Normal force = 8.75 N

A small particle starts from rest from the origin of an xy-coordinate system and travels in the xy-plane. Its acceleration in th
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m.

Explanation:

In order to obtain the x-coordinate of the particle, you have to apply the equations for Two Dimension Motion

Xf=Xo+Voxt+0.5axt²(I)

Yf=Yo+Voyt+0.5ayt² (II)

Where Xo, Yo are the initial positions, Xf and Yf are the final positions, Vox and Voy are the initial velocities, ax and ay are the accerelations in x and y directions, t is the time.

The particle starts from rest from the origin, therefore:

Vox=Voy=0

Xo=Yo=0

Replacing Yf=12, Yo=0 and Voy=0 in (I) and solving for t:

12=0+(0)t+ 0.5(1.0)t²

12=0.5t²

Dividing by 0.5 and extracting thr squareroot both sides:

t=√12/0.5

t=√24 = 2√6

Replacing t=2√6, ax=2.0,Xo=0 and Vox=0 in (I) to obain the x-coordinate:

Xf=0+0t+0.5(2.0)(2√6)²

Xf= 24 m
