Answer:

Explanation:

PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the pull of gravity, and h is the height to which the object can possibly fall.

PE = 3.0(-9.8)(-12.4) so

PE = 360 J, rounded to the correct number of sig figs.

Three resistors of 10.0 W, 20.0 W, and 25.0 W are connected in parallel across a 100-V battery. What is the equivalent resistanc

leva [86]

In a parallel connection, the equivalent resistance is the summation of the inverse of each individual resistances. It is mathematically expressed as 1/ Req = 1/10 +1/20 + 1/25 = 5.263 ohms. Also, the voltage across each resistor is equal to the input voltage, therefore I = 100 / 10 = 10 Amps. I hope this helped you.

You throw a ball upward with a speed of 14m/s. What is the acceleration of the ball after it leaves your hand? Ignore air resist

omeli [17]

The acceleration of the ball after leaving the hand is $9.8 m/s^2$ downward

Explanation:

In order to find the acceleration of the ball during its motion, we have to study which forces are acting on it.

After the ball leaves the hand, if we neglect air resistance, there is only one force acting on the ball: the force of gravity, whose magnitude is

$F=mg$

where m is the mass of the ball and g is the acceleration of gravity ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ), acting in the downward direction.

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of the ball is given by

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on the ball

After the ball leaves the hand, the only force acting on it is the force of gravity, so we can substitute (mg) into the previous equation:

$a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2$

This means that the acceleration of the ball remains $9.8 m/s^2$ downward for the entire motion, after leaving the hand.
