Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa

tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Ball thrown upwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

$d = 22.24 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y$

$v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)$

$v_f^2 = 567.9$

$v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

$v_{12} = v_1 - v_2$

$v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s$

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

$d = v_{12} t$

$d = 27.8 \times 0.8$

$d = 22.24 m$

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the

insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

$\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}$

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

$\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}$

$\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}$

$\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479$

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

A substance freezes at -58c therefore substance melts at ?

Yanka [14]

The freezing point is the same as the melting point.

If it freezes at -58°C, hence the melting point is also <span>-58°C.</span>
