Answer:

11.025 meters

Explanation:

The gravity’s acceleration on the surface of earth is approximately 9.8m/s

If it took 3 s to go up and come back, that means it took (1/2) × 3 to go from his hand to its highest point, and that amount of time again (1.5 seconds) to go back down to his hand.

This means the ball accelerated from Vi (initial Velocity) to 0 in 1.5 s

To find g in 1.5 i.e speed =

1.5 × 9.8 m/s = 14.7 m/s.

To find the height the ball reached=

We will use d = rt for this. Distance = Rate × Time

Since, it went 14.7 m/s at the start, and 0 m/s at the top, so the average speed of the ball going upward was (0+14.7)/2 = 7.35 m/s

7.35 m/s was the average speed = rate.

Time was 1.5 seconds, so we multiply.

7.35 m/s × 1.5seconds = 11.025 meters

The top height the ball had is (9/8)*g
g being the strength of the earth's attraction. so if g is about 9.8 then the ball went up about 11 meters

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The magnitude of the angular acceleration ∝ = \frac{rxF}{2.8[tex]r^{2}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The angular acceleration ∝ is equal to the torque (radius multiplied by force) divided by the mass times the square of the radius. The magnitude of angular acceleration ∝ will have the equation above but we have to replace the mass in the equation by 2.8kg as stated.
