Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa
tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Ball thrown upwards =v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

d = 22.24 m

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2

t = 2.83 s

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y

v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)

v_f^2 = 567.9

v_f = 23.8 m/s

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

v_{12} = v_1 - v_2

v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

d = v_{12} t

d = 27.8 \times 0.8

d = 22.24 m

In a uranium fission reaction, uranium splits into two smaller atoms and energy. Where did the energy come from?
postnew [5]

Answer: C. Some of uranium's mass is converted into energy, so the smaller atoms have less mass.

Explanation:

From Einstein's mass-energy relation:

E = mc²

Mass and energy are equivalent. Mass can be converted into energy and energy into mass.

When Uranium atoms under go nuclear fission, smaller atoms are formed and huge amount of energy is released. This energy comes from the mass difference of the uranium nuclei and new nuclei formed. This mass converted into energy according to Einstein's equation.

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.
Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>

3. When encountering low visibility from rain or fog, you
zimovet [89]

Answer:

c. low beams and fog lights

Explanation:

When encountering low visibility from rain or fog, use your low beams and  fog lights. High beams will only increase the glare. If you can't see at least five seconds in front of you, don't drive. Pull over and put your hazards on until it clears up.

i just got the answer wrong and the drivers ed gave me this explanation !!
