Answer:

When the ball hits the ground, the velocity will be -34 m/s.

Explanation:

The height and velocity of the ball at any time can be calculated using the following equations:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the ball at time "t".

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity. (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time "t".

If we place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground, when the ball hits the ground its height will be 0. Then using the equation of height, we can calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the ground:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 60 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = 60 m - 4.9 m/s² · t²

-60 m / -4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 3.5 s

Now, with this time, we can calculate the velocity of the ball when it reaches the ground:

v = v0 + g · t

v = 0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 3.5 s

v = -34 m/s

When the ball hits the ground, the velocity will be -34 m/s.

You want the current amplitude through a 0.450-mH inductor (part of the circuitry for a radio receiver) to be 1.90 mA when a sin
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Frequency required will be 2421.127 kHz

Explanation:

We have given inductance L=0.450H=0.45\times 10^{-3}H

Current in the inductor i=1.90mA=1.90\times 10^{-3}A

Voltage v = 13 volt

Inductive reactance of the circuit X_l=\frac{v}{i}

X_l=\frac{13}{1.9\times 10^{-3}}=6842.10ohm

We know that

X_l=\omega L=2\pi fL

2\times 3.14\times  f\times 0.45\times 10^{-3}=6842.10

f = 2421.127 kHz
