A rock thrown straight up takes 4.2 s to reach its maximum height what was its initial velocity

Physics

liubo4ka [24]2 years ago

Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 \frac{m }{s^{2}}

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 \frac{m }{s}

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 \frac{m }{s}

Maslowich

Answer:a) 34.5 N; b) 24.5 N; c) 10 N; d) 1J

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to used the second Newton law given by:

∑F= m*a

F-f=m*a where f is the friction force (uk*Normal), from this we have

F= m*a+f=5 Kg*2 m/s^2+0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 34.5 N

then f=uk*N=0.5*5Kg*9.8 m/s^2= 24.5N

the net Force = (34.5-24.5)N= 10 N

Finally the work done by the net force is equal to kinetic energy change so

W=∫Force net*dr= 10 N* 0.1 m= 1J

Two capacitors, a 15 micro F and a 25 micro F, are connected in parallel to a 60 Hz source. The total capacitive reactance is :_
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em> 3980.89 ohms</em>

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance is expressed as;

X_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}

f is the frequency

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Given

f = 60H

C = C1+C2 (parallel connection)

C = 15μF + 25μF

C = 40μF

C = 40 * 10^{-6}F

Substitute into the formula:

X_c = \frac{1}{2(3.14)*60*40*10^{-6}}\\X_c =  \frac{1}{0.0002512}\\X_c = 3,980.89

<em>Hence the  total capacitive reactance is 3980.89 ohms</em>

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Aesthetic sports

Explanation:

Aesthetic sports are the one's that need well-developed physical qualities such as strength, agility, stamina, flexibility, and technical knowledge and artistry, in addition to technical ability and artistry. Elite athletes in these sports generally have a low abdominal fat , and the ranking is subjective.

In aesthetic sports like gymnastics, swimming, and figure skaters, dynamic and proactive flexibility is required.

Technician A says that side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion. Technician B says that side post te
zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.
