A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

$N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }$

$.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }$

- λ t = ln .70446 = - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explai

Marianna [84]

Answer:In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.
