A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.00 s. Find (a) the initial velocity of the ball and (b) the max

ankoles [38]

Answer:

a) 9.8 m/s

b) 4.9 m

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equations for this situation are:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$V^{2}={V_{o}}^{2}-2gy$ (2)

Where:

$y$ is the height of the ball at a given time

$y_{o}=0m$ is the initial height of the ball (assuming the hand of the thrower the origin of the system)

$V_{o}$ is the initial velocity of the ball

$V$ is the final velocity of the ball

$t=2s$ is the time it takes for the ball to make the complete movement (from the moment it is thrown until it falls back into the pitcher's hands)

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>a) Initial velocity </h3>

In order to find the initial velocity $V_{o}$ of the ball, we will use equation (1) and $t=2s$ , taking into account that $y=0 m$ and $y_{o}=0m$ at this given time:

$0=0+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (3)

Isolating $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt$ (4)

$V_{o}=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^{2})(2 s)$ (5)

Then:

$V_{o}=9.8 m/s$ (6)

<h3>b) Maximum height </h3>

In this part, we will use equation (2), knowing the value of the height is maximum when $V=0$ . So, we will name this height as $y_{max}$ :

$0={V_{o}}^{2}-2gy_{max}$ (7)

Isolating $y_{max}$ :

$y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}$ (8)

$y_{max}=\frac{{(9.8 m/s)}^{2}}{2(9.8 m/s^{2})}$ (9)

Finally:

$y_{max}=4.9 m$

A circuit is built based on this circuit diagram. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The three resistors are connected to the same points of the circuit, so they are in parallel configuration. The equivalent resistance of 3 resistors in parallel is given by:
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+ \frac{1}{R_3}$
If we plug the values of the resistances into the formula, we find
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{3.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{6.0 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{9.0 \Omega}= \frac{6+3+2}{18.0 \Omega} = \frac{11}{18.0 \Omega}$
From which we find the equivalent resistance:
$R_{eq} = \frac{18.0}{11} \Omega =1.6 \Omega$

So, the correct answer is B.

Earth's age is closest to _____ years

Angelina_Jolie [31]

<span>Since the planet Earth doesn't have a birth certificate to record its formation, scientists have spent hundreds of years struggling to determine the age of the planet. By dating the rocks in the ever-changing crust, as well as neighbors such as the moon and visiting meteorites, scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.
Hope this helps</span>

Instructions Write a program that inputs the length of two pieces of fabric in feet and inches (as whole numbers) and prints the

diamong [38]

Answer:

The code is written in python in the explanation section below

Explanation:

a_feet = int(input("Input the feet of the first fabric: "))

a_inches = int(input("input the size in inches for the first piece of fabric: "))

b_feet = int(input("input the size in Feet for the second piece of fabric: "))

b_inches = int(input("Enter the size in Inches for the second piece of fabric: "))

sum_inches = a_inches + b_inches

inches_to_feet = sum_inches // 12

rem_from_div = sum_inches % 12

sum_feet = a_feet + b_feet + inches_to_feet

print("Feet: {} Inches: {}".format(sum_feet, rem_from_div))
