Answer:

a) about 20.4 meters high

b) about 4.08 seconds

Explanation:

Part a)

To find the maximum height the ball reaches under the action of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2) use the equation that connects change in velocity over time with acceleration.

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

-9.8 \frac{m}{s} =\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

In our case, the initial velocity of the ball as it leaves the hands of the person is Vi = 20 m/s, while thw final velocity of the ball as it reaches its maximum height is zero (0) m/s. Therefore we can solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the top:

-9.8  =\frac{0-20}{t}\\t=\frac{20}{9.8} s = 2.04 s

Now we use this time in the expression for the distance covered (final position Xf minus initial position Xi) under acceleration:

Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi=20*(2.04)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*2.04^{2}\\Xf-Xi=20.408 m

Part b) Now we use the expression for distance covered under acceleration to find the time it takes for the ball to leave the person's hand and come back to it (notice that Xf-Xi in this case will be zero - same final and initial position)

Xf-Xi=0=20*(t)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^{2

To solve for "t" in this quadratic equation, we can factor it out as shown:

0= t(20-\frac{9.8}{2} t)

Therefore there are two possible solutions when each of the two factors equals zero:

1) t= 0 (which is not representative of our case) , and

2) the expression in parenthesis is zero:

0= 20-\frac{9.8}{2} t\\t=\frac{20*2}{9.8} = 4.08 s

Design an experiment to test the rate at which temperature changes for two different masses (amounts) of water.
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:Experimental Question:  How does the amount of a substance affect the rate at which temperature changes?

It depends on the conductivity of the material. If the shift is extreme, the temperature near the heating / cooling source will be similar to the temperature of the heating / cooling source and it will take time for the remainder of the material to rise to temperature. It will depend on the conductivity of the material.

Hypothes is:  

Materials  List:

• digital stopwatch

• 250ml beaker

• rubber bung

• thermometer

• bunsen burner

• tripod

• gauze

• retort stand and clamp

• goggles

Safety Procedures *:

1. Adult supervision is required.  

2. Wear safety goggles, apron, and closed-toe shoes.  

3. Do not wear baggy sleeves or dangling jewelry. Tie long hair back.  

4. Use hot pads or oven mitts to handle hot objects.  

5. Do not reach over a hot burner.  

6. Do not leave the experiment unattended.  

7. Clean up spills immediately.  

8. Report any injuries to your Learning Coach or adult supervisor immediately

Experimental Procedures :

• Fill an empty beaker with exactly 150ml of water (check side-scale of beaker)

• Set up apparatus as shown above. Ensure the thermometer is about 2cm above the bottom of the beaker.

• Light the bunsen burner and put on a blue flame. Heat up the water.

• When the temperature on the thermometer has reached 90°C, immediately switch off the burner.

• Start the stopwatch and time for 5.0 minutes.

• Read the thermometer value at the 5.0 minute mark.

• Before repeating the experiment, check the level of water is still 150ml

Data Table:  

Start Temperature of Water (°C) Temperature after 5min (°C) Drop in Temperature

(°C) Average Rate of Cooling x 1000 (°C/s)

80 70 10 17

75 66 9 15

70 62 8 13

65 59 6 10

60 55 5 8

Analysis:  

Conclusions : There is a strong correlation between the average rate of cooling and the start temperature: the greater the start temperature, the  faster the average rate of cooling.

Sindrei [870]
<h2>The option ( c ) is correct</h2>

Explanation:

When we apply the force on any body , the inertia comes into play . It is the tenancy of the the body to oppose the force which tends to change its state .

In first case the train tries to change its state from rest to motion . Thus the inertia of rest opposes this tendency.

In the second case , the train tries to come from motion to the state of rest . Thus again , inertia opposes it .

Therefore inertia is the factor which creates difficulty in both case . Hence option ( c ) is correct

Define radiation explain it
bija089 [108]

Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light. This energy has an electric field and a magnetic field associated with it, and has wave-like properties. You could also call radiation “electromagnetic waves”.
