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.

An object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing which type of particles?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

negative particles

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Hence, an object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing negative particles.

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.

A hotel wants to put a fence around a circular spa. The radius of the spa is 5/√2-1 feet. If the fence is built along the immedi
Vlad [161]
It is important to look at all the information's that are given in the question very closely. Let us write them write first.

Radius of the spa = <span>5/√2-1 feet
Now
Perimeter of the circle = </span><span>2πr
                                    = 2</span>π (5/√2-1) 
                                    = <span>π(5/(√2-1)*(√2+1)/(√2+1) </span>
<span>                                    = 2π(5/(√2+1))/(2-1) </span>
<span>                                    = 10π(√2+1)  

I hope that the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.</span>
