If a ball is thrown straight up, where is its acceleration the greatest

It has acceleration while it's in your hand and you're in the process of flinging it, but we don't know how much.

It has acceleration ... pretty big ... during the short time between hitting the first blade of grass and coming to rest in the dirt, at the end of its trip.

From the time it leaves your hand until it hits the grass on the way down, its has the same constant, continuous acceleration ... 9.8 m/s^2 downward, the acceleration of gravity.

The greatest acceleration is probably at the end of the trip, after it hits the grass, and its speed drops to zero in a tiny fraction of a second.

AveGali [126]

Average acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

The missile's change in speed is  (5,000 - 0)  =  5,000 m/s

Average acceleration  =  (5,000 m/s)  /  (10 sec)

                                 =      500 m/s²       (about  51 Gs)

Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?

No. Relax. Everything is OK.

500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer.  So my answer can also be written as  0.5 km/s² .  That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.

The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec²  (d)</em> .

The focal length of the lens of a simple digital camera is 40 mm, and it is originally focused on a person 25 m away. In what di
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here image distance is fixed .

In the first case if v be image distance

1 / v - 1 / -25 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 1 / .05 - 1 / 25

= 20 - .04 = 19.96

v = .0501 m = 5.01 cm

In the second case

u = 4 ,

1 / v - 1 / - 4 = 1 / .05

1 / v = 20 - 1 / 4 = 19.75

v = .0506 = 5.06 cm

So lens must be moved forward by 5.06 - 5.01 =  .05 cm ( away from film )

Imagine that you have a 6.50 l gas tank and a 4.50 l gas tank. you need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylen
Margarita [4]
V₁(O2) = 6.50<span>  L                
</span>p₁(O2) = 155 atm          
V₂(acetylene) = <span>4.50 L                   
</span>p₂(acetylene) =?                             

According to Boyle–Mariotte law (At constant temperature and unchanged amount of gas, the product of pressure and volume is constant) we can compare two gases that have ideal behavior and the law can be usefully expressed as:

V₁/p₁ = V₂/p₂

6.5/155 = 4.5/p₂

0.042 x p₂ = 4.5

p₂ = 107.3 atm
