Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.

hope this helps :))

A football is kicked into the air with a velocity of 32m/s at an angle of 25º. At the very top of the ball’s path, its vertical

Travka [436]

At the "very top" of the ball's path, there's a tiny instant when the ball
is changing from "going up" to "going down". At that exact tiny instant,
its vertical speed is zero.

You can't go from "rising" to "falling" without passing through "zero vertical
speed", at least for an instant. It makes sense, and it feels right, but that's
not good enough in real Math. There's a big, serious, important formal law
in Calculus that says it. I think Newton may have been the one to prove it,
and it's named for him.

By the way ... it doesn't matter what the football's launch angle was,
or how hard it was kicked, or what its speed was off the punter's toe,
or how high it went, or what color it is, or who it belongs to, or even
whether it's full to the correct regulation air pressure. Its vertical speed
is still zero at the very top of its path, as it's turning around and starting
to fall.

A ball is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa

vovangra [49]

Answer:

a) 48.5 ft/s

b) 36.5 ft

c) -80.3 ft/s

Explanation:

The equation of motion of the ball is :

y(t) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * t^2 + Vo*t

Where Vo is the initial velocity

If y(5s) = - 160 ft:

-160 ft = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (5 s)^2 + Vo*(5s)

Solving for Vo

Vo = (16.1*25- 160) ft / 5s = 48.5 ft/s

To answer this question we must first know when the velocity became zero, at this time is when the ball was at its highest point.

v(t) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * t + Vo

t = Vo/32.2ft/s^2 = 1.5 s

And now, the highest point which the ball reached is given by:

y(1.5s) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (1.5)^2 + Vo*(1.5s)

y(1.5s) = 36.52 ft

We now need the time at which y(t') = -64 ft

-64 = -16.1*t'^2 + 48.5*t'

By means of the quadratic formula, we find that

t' = 4.00498 s ≈ 4 s

And the velocity at t = 4s is:

v(4s) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * 4s +48.5 ft/s = -80.3 ft/s

The small ball of mass m = 0.5 kg is attached to point A via string and is moving at constant speed in a horizontal circle of ra

babymother [125]

Answer:

d = 2.45 meters

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

Radius of the circle, r = 0.16 m

The angular speed of the ball around the circle is, $\omega=2\ rad/s$

The attached figure shows the whole scenario. Let $F_t$ is the force acting on the ball in tangential direction. The forces will balanced each other at equilibrium.
