Answer:

Explanation:

The sig figs are off in the answer (unless you use -9.81 for the acceleration due to gravity. My classes always use -9.8, which is 2 sig figs. But nevertheless, we can solve it!) Use the velocity formula:

v_f=v_0+at where vf is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds. Filling in, using the fact that both the velocities are negative since the ball is going down:

-24.5 = -12.1 +(-9.8)t or

-24.5 = -12.1 - 9.8t and

-12.4 = -9.8t and divide to get that

t = 1.27 sec

If a baseball's velocity is increased to four times its original velocity, by what factor does its kinetic energy increase
jeyben [28]

Answer:

16 times

Explanation:

Original

KE(i)  = 1/2mv²

After increasing

KE(f) = 1/2m(4v)²

KE(f) = 8mv²

KE(f)/KE(i) = 8 x 2 = 16

On the decibel scale, an increase of 10 decibels means an intensity increase of __________times?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

The decibel or decibel, is a unit that relates two values ​​of sound pressure, and electrical power. the base unit is the bel, but given the amplitude but for practicality, a submultiple, the decibel, is used. It is a scalar expression .

Zero belios is the reference value used as a base, hence a bel is equivalent to 10 decibels and means that there is a power increase of 10 times over the reference value.

What would happen? Why?
koban [17]
Lightning rods provide low resistance paths to the ground that’ll be used to conduct the enormous electrical currents when lightning strikes happen. So the system will attempt to carry the harmful electrical current away from it and safely to ground. The system will have the ability to handle enormous electrical currents associated with the lightning strikes, if they contact a material that isn’t a good conductor then the material will suffer massive heat damage. So the lightning rod system is considered the best conductor & this allows the current to flow to the ground without causing any massive heat damage.

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is
IgorLugansk [536]
At rest because if the distance is not changing, then it is not moving any further, so it must not be moving! The time keeps going no matter what, so the distance, whether it is 0 m or 10,000 km, if the y is horizontal the distance does not change.
