If a ball is dropped from a height​ (H) its velocity will increase until it hits the ground​ (assuming that aerodynamic drag due

to the air is​ negligible). During its​ fall, its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If the ball is dropped from a height of 720720 centimeters​ [cm], and the impact velocity is 3939 feet per second​ [ft/s], determine the value of gravity in units of meters per second squared ​[m/s2​].

Answer:

9.801 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 39 ft/s

s = Displacement = 720 cm = 7.2 m

a = Acceleration

Converting to m/s

39\ ft/s=\frac{39}{3.281}=11.88\ m/s

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{11.88^2-0^2}{2\times 7.2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.801\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the ball is 9.801 m/s²

Ratling [72]

It all comes to the doppler effect, the red shift means that the galaxy is moving away from us. The redshift is a result from the doppler effect, so as the galaxy moves away the wavelength expands, increasing the wavelength which responds to the red light.

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.

ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo
madam [21]

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s

A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near to end a of the rod (figure 1). What happens to end a of the ro
erma4kov [3.2K]

What happens to end a of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time is; It is strongly attracted.

<h3>Electrostatics</h3>

I have attached the image of the rod.

We are told that the ball is much closer to the end of the rod than the length of the rod. Thus, if we point down the rod several times, the distance of approach will experience no electric field and as such the charge on end point A of the rod must be comparable in magnitude to the charge on the ball.

This means that their fields will cancel.

Finally, we can conclude that when a charge is brought close to a conductor, the opposite charges will all navigate to the point that is closest to the charge and as a result, a strong attraction will be created.

This also applies to a strong conducting rod and therefore it is strongly attracted.
