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 satellite has a mass of 5832 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.13 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit

elena55 [62]

Answer:

W = 28226.88 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the satellite, m = 5832 Kg

Height of the orbiting satellite from the surface, h = 4.13 x 10⁵ m

The time period of the orbit, T = 1.9 h

= 6840 s

The radius of the planet, R = 4.38 x 10⁶ m

The time period of the satellite is given by the formula

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2} g} }$ second

Squaring the terms and solving it for 'g'

g = 4 π² $\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2}T^{2} }$ m/s²

Substituting the values in the above equation

g = 4 π² $\frac{(4.38X10^6+4.13X10^5)^{3} }{(4.38X10^6)^{2}X6840^{2}}$

g = 4.84 m/s²

Therefore, the weight

w = m x g newton

= 5832 Kg x 4.84 m/s²

= 28226.88 N

Hence, the weight of the satellite at the surface, W = 28226.88 N

-Surgen de una interacción.
-Nunca aparece una sola: son dos y simultáneas.
-Actúan sobre cuerpos diferentes: una en cada cuerpo.
-Nunca forman un par de fuerzas: tienen la misma línea de acción.
-Un cuerpo que experimenta una única interacción no está en equilibrio, pues sobre el aparece una fuerza unica que lo acelera. Para estar en equilibrio se requieren por lo menos dos interacciones.

Can someone plzzzz help with these 3 I don’t understand

Aleks [24]

12.) Active transport because the cell must use energy to move large particles across the membrane.

13.) Photosynthesis takes place in plant leaves containing the chlorophyll pigment. Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of the cell. ... Cellular respiration uses glucose molecules and oxygen to produce ATP molecules and carbon dioxide as the by-product.

14.) In cells with a nucleus, as in eukaryotes, the cell cycle is also divided into two main stages: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase (including mitosis and cytokinesis). During interphase, the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis, and undergoes DNA replication preparing it for cell division.
