A large ball of Play-Doh with a mass of 0.04kg is launched from a catapult with an initial

Answer:

  ≈ 6.68 m/s

Explanation:

A suitable formula is ...

  vf^2 -vi^2 = 2ad

where vi and vf are the initial and final velocities, a is the acceleration, and d is the distance covered.

We note that if the initial launch direction is upward, the velocity of the ball when it comes back to its initial position is the same speed, but in the downward direction. Hence the problem is no different than if the ball were initially launched downward.

Then ...

  vf = √(2ad +vi^2) = √(2·9.8 m/s^2·1.0 m+(5 m/s)^2) = √44.6 m/s

  vf ≈ 6.68 m/s

The ball hits the ground with a speed of about 6.68 meters per second.

__

We assume the launch direction is either up or down.

If a wave has a frequency of 2 HZ what would it be in seconds?
gavmur [86]

Frequency is not a length of time.  It's exactly the opposite.
Frequency tells you how often something happens.  In fact,
the unit 'Hz' means 'per second'.

   Frequency of 2 Hz means "It happens at 2 per second."

The time it takes for the thing to happen once is exactly the
'reciprocal' of the frequency ... ' 1 ' divided by the frequency.

If the frequency is  2 Hz, then the thing happens every 1/2 second.

If the frequency is 74 Hz, then it happens every  1/74 of a second.

If the frequency is 1 KiloHz, then it happens every  1/1000 second.

During which type of collision do the two objects stick together
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum of the objects before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total kinetic energy of the objects before and after the collision is conserved.

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects before and after the collision is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In fact, part of the total kinetic energy of the objects is lost during the collision, converted mainly into thermal energy (or other forms of energy) due to the presence of frictional forces.

- A particular type of inelastic collision is called perfectly inelastic collision: this occurs when the two objects stick together after the collision. In this case, the maximum amount of kinetic energy of the system is lost.

How are electromagnets made and how do they work?
frez [133]
Electromagnets

When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This effect can be used to make an electromagnet. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a battery or power supply.

A student is planning an investigation on the properties of different types of matter. What would be the best method to find the
BartSMP [9]

Explanation:

Volume is the amount of space an object takes up, while mass is the amount of matter in an object. ... To find the volume of an irregular sized object, one would use the displacement method for measuring volume and place the object in water and measure the amount of water that is displaced.

An electron and a proton are separated by a distance of 1.0 m. What happens to the force between them if the electron moves 0.5
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that, an electron and a proton are separated by a distance of 1.0 m i.e d = 1 m . At this position, F is the force between them

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{1^2}...............(1)

We need to find effect on force between them if the electron moves 0.5 m away from the proton. Let the force is F'.

F'=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{0.5^2}...............(2)

On dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{1^2}}{k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{0.5^2}}

\dfrac{F}{F'}=0.25

F' = 4 F

So, the distance between the electron and the proton is 0.5 m, the new force will be 4 times of previous force.
