Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

$m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\$

Kinetic energy conservation

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2$

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 27.9 m/s from a height of 2.0 m. How long does it take to reach its highest p

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

2.84403 seconds

2.91483 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-27.9}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.84403\ s$

It takes 2.84403 seconds to reach the highest point

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-27.9^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=39.67431 m$

The ball will travel 39.67431+2 = 41.67431 m while going down to the ground

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 41.71479=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{41.67431\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.91483\ s$

The ball takes 2.91483 seconds to hit the ground after it reaches its highest point.

Energy that vibrates electrons causing electricity

tresset_1 [31]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves are generated by moving electrons. An electron generates an electric field which we can visualize as lines radiating from the electron Figure 10a. If the electron moves, say it vibrates back and forth, then this motion will be transferred to the field lines and they will become wavy Figure 10b.

Which situation describes the highest rate of power?

Darya [45]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.

Explanation :

Power : It is defined a the rate of doing work per unit time.

Formula used :

$P=\frac{w}{t}$

where,

P = power

w = work done

t = time

Now we have to determine the rate of power for the following options.

(A) A machine does 200 joules of work in 10 seconds.

$P=\frac{200}{10}=20W$

(B) A machine does 400 joules of work in 10 seconds.

$P=\frac{400}{10}=40W$

(C) A machine does 200 joules of work in 5 seconds.

$P=\frac{200}{5}=40W$

(D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.

$P=\frac{400}{5}=80W$

From this we conclude that, a machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds has the highest rate of power.

Hence, the correct option is, (D)

Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf. It is located 5.9 light years from Earth. (One light year is the same as 9.46 trillion kilometers

mote1985 [20]

A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46 trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.
