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.

Why might an electromagnet be used to pick up old cars in junk yards?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

A simple dipole consists of two charges with the same magnitude, q, but opposite sign separated by a distance d. The EDM (electr
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a. dW = ∫pEsinθdθ  b. W = p.E

Explanation:

a. We know torque τ = p × E = pEsinθ where θ is the angle between p and E

Let the torque τ rotate the dipole by an amount dθ. So, the workdone dW = ∫τdθ = ∫pEsinθdθ

b. So, the total work done is gotten by integrating from 90 to θ. So,

W = ∫₉₀⁰dW

= ∫₉₀⁰pEsinθdθ

= pE∫₉₀⁰sinθdθ

= pE(cosθ - cos90)

=pEcosθ

= p.E

Explain whether smoke filling up a room is diffusion or not
pogonyaev
Yes, it is diffusion !

Diffusion is the process in which gas, through random movement of particles, tends to fill up the whole volume of the container in which it is placed. So a similar process would lead the smoke, which is in form of gas (or light particles), to fill in the whole room in which it is contained.

A pendulum takes 6.0 seconds to swing through 5 complete cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?
photoshop1234 [79]
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds
