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

Physics

Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Despite a very strong wind, a tennis player
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The current in the primary is 0.026 A

Explanation:

Using the formula

I1 = (V1/V2)*I2

we have

I1 = (6.4/120)*0.500

I1 = 0.026 A

Issac newton how did he shape the new worldview?
gulaghasi [49]

Accordingly Newton's findings, astronomy and physics have industrialized hugely over the period.  Scientists now recognize that every object in the world has a force that draws each other and the power of the force hinge on the mass of the object.  Also, Newton's Laws of Motion offer individuals a better understanding of what is likely concerning movement.  This is very helpful, particularly in  mechanics and space travel.  Generally, Newton had a huge and permanent impact on science.

To persuade my audience that the use of mobile communication devices by drivers—even when they are hands-free—is contributing to
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

specific purpose statement      

Explanation:

It is a specific purpose statement made for a persuasive speech on the question of fact.

A specific purpose statement helps to build on the general purpose (that is to inform) and to make it more specific to the audience. So if the first speech is an informative speech, our general purpose is to inform our audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

A specific purpose statement is given to audience to persuade on specific information.

Two carts, one of mass 2m and one of mass m, approach each other with the same speed, v. When the carts collide, they hook toget
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

<em>Second option</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum</u>

The linear momentum of an object of mass m and speed v is

P=mv

If two or more objects are interacting in the same axis, the total momentum is

P_t=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...

Where the speeds must be signed according to a fixed reference

The images show a cart of mass 2m moves to the left with speed v since our reference is positive to the right

P_1=-2mv

The second cart of mass m goes to the right at a speed v

P_2=mv

The total momentum before the impact is

P_t=-2mv+mv=-mv

The total momentum after the collision is negative, both carts will join and go to the left side

The first option shows both carts with the same momentum before the collision and therefore, zero momentum after. It's not correct as we have already proven

The third option shows the 2m cart has a positive greater momentum than the other one. We have proven the 2m car has negative momentum. This option is not correct either

The fourth option shows the two carts keep separated after the collision, which contradicts the condition of the question regarding "they hook together".

The second option is the correct one because the mass m_2 has a negative momentum and then the sum of both masses keeps being negative
