Answer:

a) The velocity of the ball when it hits the ground is -20.5 m/s.

b) To acquire a final velocity of 27.3 m/s, the ball must be thrown from a height of 38 m.

Explanation:

I´ve found the complete question on the web:

<em />

<em>A ball is thrown from a rooftop with an initial downward velocity of magnitude v0=2.9 m/s. The rooftop is a distance above the ground, h= 21 m. In this problem use a coordinate system in which upwards is positive.</em>

<em>(a) Find the vertical component of the velocity with which the ball hits the ground.</em>

<em>(b) If we wanted the ball's final speed to be exactly 27, 3 m/s from what height, h (in meters), would we need to throw it with the same initial velocity?</em>

<em />

The equation of the height and velocity of the ball at any time "t" are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

h = height of the ball at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

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

v = velocity of the ball at a time "t".

First, let´s find the time it takes the ball to reach the ground (the time at which h = 0)

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 21 m - 2.9 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

t = 1.8 s  ( the other solution of the quadratic equation is rejected because it is negative).

Now, using the equation of velocity, let´s find the velocity of the ball at

t = 1.8 s:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -2.9 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 1.8 s

v = -20.5 m/s

The velocity of the ball when it hits the ground is -20.5 m/s.

b) Now we have the final velocity and have to find the initial height. Using the equation of velocity we can obtain the time it takes the ball to acquire that velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

-27.3 m/s = -2.9 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

(-27.3 m/s + 2.9 m/s) / (-9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 2.5 s

The ball has to reach the ground in 2.5 s to acquire a velocity of 27.3 m/s.

Using the equation of height, we can obtain the initial height:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = h0 -2.9 m/s · 2.5 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.5 s)²

-h0 = -2.9 m/s · 2.5 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.5 s)²

h0 = 38 m

To acquire a final velocity of 27.3 m/s, the ball must be thrown from a height of 38 m.

You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Period of the signal.

Explanation:

So, this question is all about a concept in physics or astronomy which is called or known as Radiation Astronomy and Galactic Nuclei that are active. This concept talks most about Quasars; a powerful radiating object which derives its power from black holes.

When You take a look at Quasars, we get the to know that the more you think you can see, the more they move away from us.

Thus, when "You are observing the radiation from a distant active galaxy and you notice that the amplitude of the signal varies in strength regularly over a certain period. The maximum possible size for the source of this radiation can now be calculated from the "PERIOD OF THE SIGNAL.

NB: not the amplitude but the period.

A bus slows with constant acceleration from 24.0 m/s to 16.0 m/s and moves 50.0 m in the process. (a) How much further does it t
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) Bus will traveled further a distance of 40 m

(b) It will take 7.5 sec to stop the bus

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity of the bus u = 24 m/sec

And final velocity v = 16 m/sec

Distance traveled in this process s = 50 m

From third equation of motion we know that v^2=u^2+2as

16^2=24^2+2\times a\times 50

a=-3.2m/sec^2

(a) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

So v^2=u^2+2as

0^2=24^2-2\times 3.2\times s

s= 90 m

So further distance traveled by bus = 90-50 =40 m

(b) Now as the bus finally stops so final velocity v= 0 m/sec

Initial velocity u = 24 m/sec

Acceleration a=-3.2m/sec^2

So time t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-24}{-3.2}=7.5sec

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
