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:
a. one-half as great
Explanation:
The power developed by the first lifter is one-half as great as that of the second person.
Power is defined as the rate at which work is done;
Power =
Since the two lifters do the same work at different time, let us estimate their power;
P₁ =
P₂ =
We see that for P₁, power is half of the work done whereas in P₂ power is the same as the work done.
Therefore,
The power of the first weight lifter is one-half the second lifter.
Answer:
A = 2.36m/s
B = 3.71m/s²
C = 29.61m/s2
Explanation:
First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m
10ft = 3m
Speed of the rider is the
v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation
v = [2π(D/2)]/T
v = [2π(3/2)]/4
v = 3π/4
v = 2.36m/s
Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r
Where v = speed of the rider
r = radius of the ride
a = 2.36²/1.5
a = 3.71m/s²
If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is
A = 4π²R/T²
A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²
A = 118.44/4
A = 29.61m/s²
Molarity and molality both describe the concentration of a substance in terms of moles.
Molarity describes the number of moles of a substance per unit of volume, typically per liter (mol/l).
Molality describes the number of moles per unit of mass, typically kilograms (mol/kg).
When determining the molality of a solution, mol/kg can be obtained by finding the number of moles in the substance, and dividing that number by the the total weight in kilograms of that substance.
When determining the molarity of a solution, mol/l can be obtained by dividing the number of moles in a substance by the total volume in liters of that substance.
The hypothesis because its very hard to make and it confounds me
