Answer:

t = 5.1[s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must first use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Now replacing:

0 = 25-9.81*t\\t=25/9.81\\t=2.54[s]

Note: The key to understand this problem is that when the tennis ball is in the highest position its velocity is zero.

So it will take the same time from the highest point to the ground

t = 2.54 +2.54

t = 5.09 [s]

miskamm [114]

Answer:

q = 0.036 C

Explanation:

Given that,

Current passes through a defibrillator, I = 18 A

Time, t = 2 ms

We need to find the charge moved during this time. We know that,

Electric current = charge/time

q=It

Put all the values,

q=18\times 0.002\\\\q=0.036\ C

So, 0.036 C of charge moves during this time.
