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

telo118 [61]

Answer: C

Explanation:

A bird flying in the air is 3D motion as the bird move up, down, right, left all the possible direction. A leaf falling from a tree is also a 3D motion because a leaf never fall in absolute vertical manner. A lady bug crawling on a soccer ball also 3D. If lady bug crawling on a plane like floor then it is 2D but now lady bug crawling on soccer ball which is in spherical shape so it is also 3D motion. Only train travelling along a track is 2D because train cannot move up and down and the track of train is in a plane. So it is 2D motion.

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic is

$u_{k}=0.59$

Explanation:

The forces in the axis 'x' and 'y' using law of Newton to find coefficient of kinetic friction

ΣF=m*a

ΣFy=W-N=0

ΣFy=Fn-Fu=m*a

$F_{u} =u_{k} *N\\F_{N}=25N\\N=W\\N=3.5kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }=34.3N$

$F_{N}-F_{u}=m*a\\F_{N}-u_{k}*N=m*a\\u_{k}*N=F_{N}-m*a\\u_{k}=\frac{F_{N}-m*a}{N}$

Now to find the coefficient can find the acceleration using equation of uniform motion accelerated

$v_{f} ^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a(x_{f}-x_{o})\\x_{o}=0\\v_{o}=0\\v_{f} ^{2}=2*a*x_{f}\\a=\frac{v_{f} ^{2}}{2*a*x_{f}}\\ a=\frac{(1.53\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{2*0.91m}\\a= 1.28 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$
