A ball of mass of 0.5kg is dropped from a height of 2m.

Physics
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

6.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 0.5kg

Height  = 2m

Unknown:

Velocity when the ball hits the ground  = ?

Solution:

Since the potential  energy is transformed into kinetic energy;

            P.E  = K.E

              mgh  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

     cancelling m;

               gh  =  \frac{1}{2} v²

                v² = 2gh

                v  = √2gh

Insert the parameters and solve;

               v  = √2gh  = √ 2 x 9.8 x 2  = 6.3m/s

The acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Net \; Force = mass * acceleration

Making acceleration the subject of formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {Net \; Force}{Mass}

In this scenario, the acceleration of a baseball after it is hit by a bat depends on the mass of the ball and the net force on the ball. Thus, this example best illustrates Newton's second law of motion.

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. <u><em>If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency</em></u> (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). <em><u>As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease</u></em>. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

E_1 = E_2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}

now we will have

\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}

now square root both sides

\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}

now we have

\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1

so we have

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

The net torce on an object moving with constant speed in circular motion is in which direction?
aleksley [76]

The correct answer is C) towards the center of the circle.

Although the object is moving at a constant speed it is constantly accelerating due to the constant change in direction as it describes the circular path. This causes a constant change in velocity as velocity is a vector quantity.

For the object to maintain the circular path there has to be centripetal force acting on the object and this centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.
