Answer:

A. 9.8 m/s²

B. Zero

C. 6.125 m/s

D. 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (T) spent in the air = 1.25 s

A. Determination of the acceleration of the ball.

From the description given in question above, the motion of the tennis ball is motion under gravity. Hence, the ball will experience an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s²

B. Determination of the velocity at maximum height.

Maximum height is the greatest point reached by the tennis ball above the ground. At maximum height, the velocity of the tennis ball is zero since it has no further force to propel it upward.

C. Determination of the initial velocity of the ball.

We'll begin by calculating the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (T) spent in the air = 1.25 s

Time (t) to reach the maximum height =?

T = 2t

1.25 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 1.25 / 2

t = 0.625 s

Finally, we shall determine the initial velocity of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) to reach the maximum height = 0.625 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)

Initial velocity (u) =?

v = u – gt (since the ball is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 0.625)

0 = u – 6.125

Collect like terms

0 + 6.125 = u

u = 6.125 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the ball is 6.125 m/s

D. Determination of the maximum height.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 0 (at maximum height)

Initial velocity (u) = 6.125 m/s

Maximum height (h) =?

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 6.125² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 37.52 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 37.52 = – 19.6h

– 37.52 = – 19.6h

Divide both side by – 19.6

h = – 37.52 / – 19.6

h = 1.91 m

Thus, the maximum height reached by the ball is 1.91 m

A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal
givi [52]
I'm gonna have to assume the girl is on the right side and boy on left.
The net force is the sum of all forces on an object (includes negatives).
Let's say the force of the boy is variable <em>b</em>.  Use the formula F = ma.

<em>b </em>+ 3.5 = 0.2(2.5)

This is now simple algebra.  Solve to get that <em />the boty is exerting a force of -3N to the left.

Some neodymium glass lasers can provide 100TW of power in 1.0 ns pulses at a wavelength of 0.26 micrometers. how much energy is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

 E = 10⁵ J

Explanation:

given,

Power, P = 100 TW

           = 100 x 10¹² W

time, t = 1 ns

           = 1 x 10⁻⁹ s

The energy of a single pulse is:-

Energy = Power x time

 E = P t

 E = 100 x 10¹² x 1 x 10⁻⁹

 E = 10⁵ J

The energy contained in a single pulse is equal to 10⁵ J

. A ball is thrown downward at a speed of 20 m/s. Choosing
a_sh-v [17]

The final velocity is v = 20 - gt

The distance traveled by the ball at time t is y = y_o + (-20)t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

The maximum distance traveled by the object is 0 = (20)^2 - 2g(y-y_0)

The given parameters;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The final velocity can be calculate as;

v = 20 - gt

The distance traveled by the ball at time t;

y = y_o + (-20)t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

The maximum distance traveled by the object is calculated as;

v^2 = u^2 - 2g(y - y_0)\\\\0 = (20)^2 - 2g(y-y_0)
