Answer:

45.9 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy (sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy) of the ball just after it is thrown is equal to the mechanical energy of the ball when it is at the top of its trajectory:

E_i = E_f\\U_i + K_i = U_f + K_f

where

U_i = 0 is the initial gravitational potential energy of the ball, which is zero because the ball starts its motion from the ground (h=0)

K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the initial kinetic energy of the ball, where m is the mass of the ball and v=30.0 m/s is its speed

U_f = mgh is the gravitational potential energy of the ball at its maximum height h

K_f = 0 is the kinetic energy of the ball when it is at the maximum height (it is zero because the speed of the ball at its maximum height is zero)

Substituting into the first equation, we can find h:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh\\h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{(30.0 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=45.9 m

A standing wave has a frequency of 471 Hz and a wavelength of 1.9. What is the speed of the
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

c = 894.90 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 471 Hz

Wavelength of wave = 1.9 m

Speed of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

c = f×λ

c = 471 Hz × 1.9 m

  Hz = s⁻¹

c = 471s⁻¹ × 1.9 m

c = 894.90 m/s

The speed of wave is 894.90 m/s.

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using R = \frac{V}{I},

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

240=\frac{120}{I}

I = 0.5A

vfiekz [6]

A piece of blue paper appears blue because the paper absorbs all colors of light except blue. <em> (b)</em>

So any light that bounces off of the paper and enters your eye must be blue light !
