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 toy airplane, flying in a horizontal, circular
Goshia [24]

Answer:

8.4 m/s

Explanation:

The toy completes 10 circle in 30 seconds. So its frequency of revolution is

f=\frac{10}{30 s}=0.33 Hz

The periof of revolution is the reciprocal of the frequency, so

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.33 Hz}=3 s

The radius of the circular path is

r = 4.0 m

So the total distance covered by the toy in one circle is the length of the circumference:

2\pi r

And so the average speed is

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}=\frac{2\pi (4.0 m)}{3 s}=8.4 m/s

What do we mean when we say that 50 million tons of coal could replace the use of 0.6 MBPD (million barrels per day) of oil used
ololo11 [35]
<span>This statement simply implies that the 50 million tons of coal will produce the same energy output in one year as the 0.6 million barrels per day of oil. Assuming coal is more plentiful than oil, this is significant as 50 million tons is much smaller than 219 million barrels of oil.</span>

Select the properties that apply to superconductors.
makkiz [27]
made from pure metals . . . no;
they've been made from all kinds of weird compounds and alloys.
 
conduct electricity with zero resistance . . . yes;
that's why they're called "superconductors".

produce a strong magnetic field . . . possible, but not because it's a superconductor;
just like any other conductor, the magnetic field depends on the current that's flowing in the conductor.

no loss of energy in the transfer of electricity . . .
there's no loss of energy in the current flowing in the superconductor;
but if you tried to transfer the current out of the superconductor into
something else, then there would be some loss.
