Water is more elastic than air. Why?

1 answer:

6 0

Air is more compressible than water. Further, volume elasticity is reciprocal of compressibility. Therefore, water is more elastic than air.

"5 N, up" is an example of a ___. OA) force OB) mass OC) weight OD) magnitude

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20.00 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, how long is the ball in th

algol [13]

Answer:

1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.

2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.

Explanation:

The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.

thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

where

'v' is the final speed of the ball

'u' is the initial speed of the ball

'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

's' is the distance it covers

Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get

$0=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{20^{2}}{2\times 9.81}=20.387meters$

Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as

$v^2=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times 15\\\\v^{2}=105.7\\\\\therefore v=10.28m/s$

the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as

$v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\frac{10.28-20}{-9.81}=0.991seconds\approx 1second$
