A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building at 2 m/s. It takes 3 seconds to reach the ground. How far did the ball

travel horizontally (dx)?

Every second it travels 2 meters and it traveled 3 so (2 x 3) would be 6meters it traveled

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 50.9 c

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Flow rate 2.34 m3/s

Diameter 0.754 m

Explanation:

Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.

The area at the well head is

$A = \pi r_w^2 = \pi (0.509/2)^2 = 0.203 m^2$

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

$\dot{V} = Av = 0.203 * 11.5 = 2.34 m^3/s$

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

$A_r = \dot{V}/v_r = 2.34 / 5.25 = 0.446 m^2$

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:

$A_r = \pi r^2$

$r^2 =A_r/\pi = 0.446/\pi = 0.141$

$r = \sqrt{0.141} = 0.377m$

So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m

How does a electron travel through a closed circuit?

Murljashka [212]

The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field direction within a circuit is by definition the direction that positive test charges are pushed. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric field.

Two hypothetical discoveries in Part A deal with moons that, like Earth's moon, are relatively large compared to their planets.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution:

- Finding large moons comparable in size to their planets result from impacts of two astro-bodies. The probability of such an event occurring is very rare.

- Even at the best luck, one moon can be made from the result of giant impact. While the probability of 6 planets having moons of comparable sizes is close to impossible.

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$ (Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.
