Answer:

The density of the copper is higher than aluminium. Hence it is heavier compared to aluminium conductors it requires strong structures and hardware to bear the weight. More ductile and has high tensile strength.

A 3.52 kg steel ball is tossed upward from a height of 6.93 meters above the floor with a vertical velocity of 2.99 m/s. What is

Dafna1 [17]

Answer : The final velocity of the ball is, 12.03 m/s

Explanation :

By the 3rd equation of motion,

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where,

s = distance covered by the object = 6.93 m

u = initial velocity = 2.99 m/s

v = final velocity = ?

a = acceleration = $9.8m/s^2$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final velocity of the ball.

$v^2-(2.99m/s)^2=2\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (6.93m)$

$v=12.03m/s$

Thus, the final velocity of the ball is, 12.03 m/s
