Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 34.5 m.

The ball is 5.31 s in the air.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the baseball that is hit straight up are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the baseball at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g =  acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time t.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the place where the baseball is hit, then, y0 = 0.

To calculate how high it goes, we have to obtain the time at which the ball is at maximum height. At that point, the velocity is 0. Then using the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 26 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

-26 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 2.65 s

The height at that time will be the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        (y0 = 0)

y = 26 m/s · 2.65 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.65 s)²

y = 34.5 m

The maximum height of the ball is 34.5 m

If it takes the ball 2.65 s to reach the maximum height it will take another 2.65 s to return to the initial position. Then, the time it will be in the air is (2.65 s + 2.65 s) 5.30 s. However, let´s calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the initial position using the equation for height.

At the initial position y = 0. Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        (y0 = 0)

0 = 26 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = t (26 m/s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t)      (t = 0 when the ball is hit)

0 = 26 m/s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t

-26 / -4.9 m/s² = t

t = 5.31 s     ( the difference with the 5.30 s obtained above is due to rounding the time to 2.65 s).

The ball is 5.31 s in the air.

Have a nice day!

A cup of water is warmed from 21 °C to 85 °C. What is the difference between these two temperatures, in kelvins?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

337k

Explanation:

First, let us find the difference between the given two temperatures.

Difference = 85°C - 21°C

                  = 64°C

<u>And now we have to write the temperature in kelvins.</u>

To convert Celcius to Kelvins you can add 273 to the temperature in Celcius.

<u>Let us find it now.</u>

64°C + 273 = 337k

Therefore,

64°C ⇒ <u>337k</u>

Answer:

22Volts

Explanation:

The pd at the terminal is known as the emf

Since there are Ten 2.2V cells

Terminal voltage = number of cells * pd of one cell

Terminal voltage = 10 * 2.2

Terminal voltage = 22V

Hence the pd at the battery terminals​ is 22Volts
