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.

The diagram shows two forces of equal magnitude acting on an object. If the common magnitude of the forces is 3.6 N and the angl
Nuetrik [128]
<h3>Answer</h3>

6.6 N pointing to the right

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Given that,

two forces acting of magnitude 3.6N

angle between them = 48°

To find,

the third force that will cause the object to be in equilibrium

<h3>1)</h3>

Find the vertical and horizontal components of the two forces

vertical force1 = sin(24)(3.6)

vertical force2= -sin(24)(3.6)

<em>(negative sign since it is acting on opposite direction)</em>

vertical force3 = sin(24)(3.6) - sin(24)(3.6)

                        = 0

<h3>2)</h3>

horizontal force1 = cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force2= cos(24)(3.6)

horizontal force3 = cos(24)(3.6) + cos(24)(3.6)

                            = 2(cos(24)(3.6))

                            = 6.5775 N

                            ≈ 6.6 N
