A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Approximately how much time does it take the ball to travel from the release loc

ation (A). Till its highest point (B)? Approximately how much total time is the ball in the air before it returns back to its original height (C)?

I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s.  Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.

Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip.  After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it.  In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.

olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

The labeled images each represent the wave patterns found in the electromagnetic wave spectrum. which of these images are correc
Phantasy [73]
Energy E of EM radiation is given by the equation E=hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is frequency. It means energy E and frequency f are proportional so as we increase the frequency, energy also increases. Also, the relationship between the wavelength and frequency is c=λ*f where λ is the wavelength and f is frequency and c is the speed of light. This tells us the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as we increase the frequency the wavelength is getting smaller. So as we go from left to right the frequency increases, energy also increases and the wavelength is decreasing. Or, on the left side we should have low frequency, low radiant energy, and long wavelength. On the right side we should have high frequency, high radiant energy and low wavelength. That is the third graph.
