Answer:
b. v = 0, a = 9.8 m/s² down.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The acceleration of gravity is always directed to the ground (down) and, near the surface of the earth, has a constant value of 9.8 m/s². Since the answer "b" is the only option with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s² directed downwards, that would solve the exercise. But why is the velocity zero at the highest point?
Let´s take a look at the height function:
h(t) = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 g · t²
Where
h0 = initial height
v0 = initial velocity
t = time
g = acceleration due to gravity
Notice that the function is a negative parabola if we consider downward as negative (in that case "g" would be negative). Then, the function has a maximum (the highest point) at the vertex of the parabola. At the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line to the function is zero, because the tangent line is horizontal at a maximum point. The slope of the tangent line to the function is the rate of change of height with respect to time, i.e, the velocity. Then, the velocity is zero at the maximum height.
Another way to see it (without calculus):
When the ball is going up, the velocity vector points up and the velocity is positive. After reaching the maximum height, the velocity vector points down and is negative (the ball starts to fall). At the maximum height, the velocity vector changed its direction from positive to negative, then at that point, the velocity vector has to be zero.
Answer: 17.83 AU
Explanation:
According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>
(1)
Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u>
of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u>
of its orbit.
However, if
is measured in <u>years</u>, and
is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth:
), equation (1) becomes:
(2)
This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.
Knowing
and isolating
from (2):

Answer:
, it flows through your community's sanitary sewer system to a wastewater treatment facility.
Answer:
It would crack.
Explanation: The pressure from dropping it would crush the eggshell therefore breaking the egg.
Answer : Height, h = 20.4 m
Explanation :
It is given that,
Mass of an object, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
Gravitational potential energy, PE = 100 J
The Gravitational potential energy is the energy which is possessed due to the height and gravity of an object. It is given as :
PE = m g h
where,
h is the height of the cliff.

h = 20.40 m
So, the height of the cliff is 20.4 m.
