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

A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year. The speed of light is 3.00 × 108 m/s. How many miles are there in o

Answer:

(a) $5.88\times 10^{12}mi$

Explanation:

We have given speed of light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

Given time = 1 year =365 days

We know that in 1 minute = 60 sec

1 hour = 60×60 = 3600 sec

In one day = 24 hour = 24×60×60=86400 sec

So in 365 days = 365×86400 $=3.1536\times 10^7sec$

We know that distance = speed ×time $=3.1536\times 10^7\times 3\times 10^8=9.46\times 10^{15}m$

We have given that 1 mi = 1609 m

So $9.46\times 10^{15}m=\frac{9.46\times 10^{15}}{1609}=5.88\times 10^{12}mi$ So option (a) is correct

Thermal energy transfers throughout the water in the beaker. Describe and explain how this happens?

ziro4ka [17]

The transfer of heat between the bottom surface of the beaker and water inside it is due to Convection phenomenon. When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along. ... The fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes less dense, and rises

The three forces shown act on a particle. what is the direction of the resultant of these three forces?

Missing figure: http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/f5d/f5d9d0bc-e05f-4cd8-9277-da7cdda3aebf/phpJK1JgJ.png

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
$F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N$
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
$F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N$
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
$\tan \alpha = \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7$
from which we find
$\alpha=35^{\circ}$
