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

The inductance of a solenoid with 450 turns and a length of 24 cm is 7.3 mH. (a) What is the cross-sectional area of the solenoi
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: 0.43 V

Explanation:

L = [μ(0) * N² * A] / l

Where

L = Inductance of the solenoid

N = the number of turns in the solenoid

A = cross sectional area of the solenoid

l = length of the solenoid

7.3*10^-3 = [4π*10^-7 * 450² * A] / 0.24

1.752*10^-3 = 4π*10^-7 * 202500 * A

1.752*10^-3 = 0.255 * A

A = 1.752*10^-3 / 0.255

A = 0.00687 m²

A = 6.87*10^-3 m²

emf = -N(ΔΦ/Δt).........1

L = N(ΔΦ/ΔI) so that,

N*ΔΦ = ΔI*L

Substituting this in eqn 1, we have

emf = - ΔI*L / Δt

emf = - [(0 - 3.2) * 7.3*10^-3] / 55*10^-3

emf = 0.0234 / 0.055

emf = 0.43 V

What’s Is Example Of
ahrayia [7]

*heat transfer energy, As it always flow from higher temperature to lower temperature till it reach the thermal equilibrium.

example: -friction.

- collisions.

- the hot cup which's hotter than your hand✋will transfer heat in your hand. and a cold piece of ice which's colder than your hand to causing the heat transfer out of your hand .

*temperature ️ depends on the move of particle and we have a different shape of motion like:

translational motion.

rotational motion.

vibrational motion.

when the temperature:

increases it has more kinetic energy and faster moving particles and the object expanded which known as (thermal expansion).

decreases it has less kinetic energy and slower moving particles.

As kinetic energy is 1/2 mV².

example: -the mercury in thermometers.

*Absolute zero :

The theoretical temperature at which substances possess no thermal energy, equal to 0 K, −273.15°C, or −459.67°F.

*specific heat "c" :

is essentially a measure of how thermally insensitive a substance is to the addition of energy.

c=Q/m∆T

where Q is energy .

note water has a higher specific heat, and lower temperature.

*conduction <em><u>example</u></em> When the stove is turned on, the skillet becomes very hot due to the conduction of heat from the burner to the skillet.
