A juggler throws a ball straight up into the air. The ball remains in the air for a time (t) before it lands back in the juggler
natka813 [3]

Answer:

9.8 m/s^2, downward

Explanation:

There is only one force acting on the ball during its motion: the force of gravity, which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (downward)

According to Newton's second law,

F=ma

where F is the net force on the object and a is its acceleration. Rearranging for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}

As we said, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, so F = mg and the acceleration of the ball is:

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g

Therefore, the ball has a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2 downward for the entire motion.

Wayne wants to become a lifeguard. For part of the lifeguard test, he has to float in the pool for five minutes. Why does Wayne
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The gravity is pushing the water downward so Wayne could go down but the water is pushing Wayne to go up which would make him float.

Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady rate of 0.750 m3>s. (a) How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4
kati45 [8]

Answer:

velocity  = 472 m/s

velocity = 52.4 m/s

Explanation:

given data

steady rate = 0.750 m³/s

diameter = 4.50 cm

solution

we use here flow rate formula that is

flow rate = Area × velocity .............1

0.750 = \frac{\pi }{4} × (4.50×10^{-2})²  × velocity

solve it we get

velocity  = 472 m/s

and

when it 3 time diameter

put valuer in equation 1

0.750 = \frac{\pi }{4} × 3 ×  (4.50×10^{-2})²  × velocity

velocity = 52.4 m/s

An object of mass 0.40 kg, hanging from a spring with a spring constant of 8.0 N/m, is set into an up-and-down simple harmonic m
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s2

Explanation:

we know from newtons 2nd law

F = ma.

we also know that from hookes law we have

F = kx

equate both value of force to get value of acceleration

kx = ma,

where,

k is spring constant = 8.0 N/m

x is maximum displacement  0.10 m

m is mass of object 0.40 kg

a = \frac{kx}{m}

     = \frac{8 *0 .10}{0.40}

a = 2 m/s2

# 5 what will most likely happen when an air mas of low temperature exists above a water body at a higher temperature?
laila [671]
Answer: Heat will transfer from the water to the air. When a mass of air moves on a warmer surface it is heated by its base. Then thermal instability develops in the lower layers and then extends upwards. If the air initially contained inversions, these are destroyed and a strong gradient is established uniformly in the lower troposphere temperature.
