A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 6.4 m/s. It travels for 0.64 seconds, and has a change of position of 2
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

V = 0.9 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters given are:

Initial velocity U = 6.4 m/s

Time t = 0.64s

Height h = 2.05 m

To find the final velocity, let us use third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Since the ball is going upward, g will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 6.4^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 2.05

V^2 = 40.96 - 40.18

V^2 = 0.78

V = sqrt( 0.78)

V = 0.883 m/ s

V = 0.9 m/ s approximately

Can something change states of matter how do you know
belka [17]
Yes, it can change states of matter from heat. Like ice, ice changes it’s state of matter from the temperature it is in, which causes it to turn into a liquid.(another form of matter) Again with heat, if water is boiled to a certain temperature it converts to a gas. Now with cold. If water is at such a coke temperature it will turn to ice, a form of matter. Now when a gas is cooled down, the atoms comprising the gas have less energy to move around.

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. how long will it take for the light to reach earth if it mu
castortr0y [4]

Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×10^{4} 4 m/s^{2} 2 , and 1.85 ms (1
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 =  u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon

An ice skater is spinning at 6.00 rev/s with his moment of inertia being 0.400 kg/m2. Calculate his new moment of inertia if he
labwork [276]

Answer:

New moment of inertia will be I=1.92kgm^2

Explanation:

It is given initially angular velocity \omega =6rev/sec=6\times 2\pi =37.68rad/sec

Moment of inertia I=0.4kgm^2

Angular momentum is equal to L=I\omega =37.68\times 0.4=15.072kgm^2/sec

Now angular velocity is decreases to \omega =1.25rev/sec=1.25\times 2\times 3.14=7.85rad/sec

As we know that angular momentum is conserved

So 15.072=I\times 7.85

I=1.92kgm^2

So new moment of inertia will be I=1.92kgm^2
