A ball is dropped from a cliff that is 256 feet high. The height of the ball (in feet) after t seconds is given by the formula h

(t) = 256 - 16t^2. How many seconds (to the nearest tenth) will it take for the ball to hit the ground?A. 4096 sec B. 16sec C. 15.5 sec D. 4 sec

Answer:

t = 4 sec

Explanation:

given,

height of the cliff = 256 ft

equation of height and time

h(t) = 256 - 16 t²

time at which the ball hit the ground = ?

when the ball hit the ground height of the cliff is equal to zero

h(t) = 0                

now,              

0 = 256 - 16 t²      

16 t² = 256          

t² = 16                  

t = 4 sec        

hence, height of the ball will be equal to zero when time is 4 seconds.

In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a
matrenka [14]
Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1.m_1a = T_1 -m_1g
2.m_2a = m_2g - T_2
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3.\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}
where I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2 and a = \alpha R.

Combining the three equations:
T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }

Glare appears on a computer screen when light from the surroundings reflects off of the screen’s surface. Some computer screens
hoa [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

D:The surface of the coating allows light from the room to pass through but blocks the light from the screen.

Explanation:

Glare is produced on a computer screen when light from some external source reflects on the screen.

Anti-glare coating do not absorb light to reduce glare but they actually reduce glare by encouraging the light from the room to pass through the screen so that less light is reflected. Polarized lenses absorbs light to reduce glare, not anti-glare coating.

Two positive charges of same magnitude are separated by some distance if we bring a unit positive charge from one charge to anot
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Increases.

Explanation:

The electric potential increases when the two positive charges of same magnitude bring close to one charge to another because there is repulsive force between them due to same charge and when the two opposite charges move away from each other, the potential energy decreases. When two opposite charges are brought closer together, electric potential energy decreases while on the other hand, when we move opposite charges apart from each other than the work done against the attractive force that leads to an increase in electric potential energy.
