Answer:

15.24 m/s in the downward direction

Explanation:

Given that the initial upward velocity of the ball is 24 m/s.

Assuming that the upward direction is positive.

As gravitational force acts in the downward direction and the direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of force, so the acceleration due to gravity will be negative.

Now, from the equation of motion, when an object is launched with initial velocity u, the final velocity, v, of an object after time t is v=u+at.

Given that u=24 m/s, t=4 seconds, $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ .

So, the final velocity is

$v= 24 + (-9.81)\times 4 \\\\\Rightarrow v= 24-9.81\times 4$

$\Rightarrow v=-15.24$ m/s

Here, the negative sign means the final velocity is in the downward direction.

Hence, the velocity after 4 seconds is 15.24 m/s in the downward direction.

A pebble is dropped from rest from the top of a tall cliff and falls 53.4 m after 3.3 s has elapsed. How much farther does it dr

jeka94

Answer:

426.84 m

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 0

time t = 3.3 s

distance travelled s = 53.4 m

acceleration due to gravity = g

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

53.4 = 0 + 1/2 g x 3.3²

g = 9.8 m /s²

For the whole length of fall

distance travelled = h

total time = 6.6 + 3.3 = 9.9 s

h = ut + 1/2 g t²

u again = 0

h = .5 x 9.8 x 9.9²

= 480.24 m

distance travelled in last 6.6 s

= 480.24 - 53.4

= 426.84 m

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C

miskamm [114]

<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential $V$ , which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential $V$ at any point in an electric field with a test charge $q_{0}$ at that point is:

$V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}$

The potential $V$ due to a single point charge q is:

$V=k\frac{q}{r}$

Where $k$ is an electric constant, $q$ is value of point charge and $r$ is the distance from point charge to where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius $r$ . Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r$

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

$V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}$

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

$q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}$

Therefore:

$(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}$

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

$q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q$

Second: C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here $q_{A}=+2q$ and C carries no net charge or $q_{C}=0$ . Also, $r_{A}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q$

Finally, from the third step:

Here $q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q$ . Also, $r_{B}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

When sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q$

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

$q_{C}=+1.5q$

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$+4q$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

$q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0$

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

$q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q$

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

$+4q$
