A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. Use the vertical motio

n model, h = -16t2 + vt +s, where y is the initial velocity in feet per second and s is the height in feet, to calculate the amount of time the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary Time in air: _______ seconds​

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

Sound wave cannot propagate through vacuum.Why?<br>Plz give reason in short....​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a perfect vacuum existed in any volume, then no sound would be able to propagate through it, because a sound wave is a pressure wave, and there would be identically zero pressure. Of course, we could get into speculations about “dark energy” or “vacuum energy” supporting pressure waves, but let’s not go there.

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into a outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parrel
NeTakaya

Answer:

C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit.

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into an outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parallel? A) Unscrew one light. If the other lights stay on, it's a series circuit. B) Unplug the strand. If the first light stays on, it's a series circuit. C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit. D) Cut the strand in half. If the plugged in half stays on, it's a series circuit.

SERIES CIRCUIT

In this circuit, the components there are in the same path, the entire circuit has the same current, each of the components posses different voltage drop. Hence, failure of one components to work, there will be break in entire circuit then other components cease to work.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT

This circuit has equal voltage drop across all the components, any problem in a component will not has effect on other components.

Therefore, if one want to determine if a light connection is in series or in parallel, one of the light can be unplugged if others stop working it means it's series, if other works it's parallel.

An atom of potassium has an atomic mass of 39 amu and an atomic number of 19. It therefore has ______ neutrons in its nucleus.
FromTheMoon [43]
A=atomic mass 
Z=atomic number  (nº of protons).
N=neutons.

A=Z+N

Data:
A=39
Z=19

A=Z+N
39=19+N
N=39-19=20.

It therefore has 20 neutrons in its nucleus.

A 4.0-kg falcon catches a 1.0-kg dove from behind in midair. What is their velocity after impact if the falcon’s velocity is ini
Grace [21]

Answer:

V = 2.8 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of falcon, m_1=4\ kg

Mass of dove, m_2=1\ kg

Initial velocity of falcon, u_1=3\ m/s

Initial velocity of dove, u_2=2\ m/s

When the falcon catches the dove, the momentum remains conserved. Using the formula for the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the velocity after impact

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{4\times 3+1\times 2}{(4+1)}

V = 2.8 m/s

So, their velocity after the impact is 2.8 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
