PEOPLE USED CERTAIN UNIT OF MEASUREMENT IN THEIR SPECIFIC REGION WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTED BY WORLD IN CGS SYSTEM.CGS UNIT MADE

DIFFICULTY IN TRADE. LATER SI UNIT OF MEASUREMENT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED IN 1960 AD TO BRING THE uniformity IN measurement throughout THE WORLD. SI SYSTEM MADE THE MEASURENT AROUND WORLD MORE EFFECTIVE AND LESS COFUSING THAN CGS UNIT.

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$ (Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s$

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.

A firecracker breaks up into two pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0 m/

larisa [96]

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first piece, $m_1=200\ g= 0.2\ kg$

Mass of the second piece, $m_2=300\ g= 0.3\ kg$

Speed of the first piece, $v_1=82\ m/s$ (along x axis)

Speed of the second piece, $v_2=45\ m/s$ (along y axis)

To find,

The total momentum of the two pieces.

Solve,

The total momentum of two pieces is equal to the sum of momentum along x axis and along y axis.

$p_x=m_1v_1$

$p_x=0.2\ kg\times 82\ m/s$

$p_x=16.4\ kg-m/s$

$p_y=m_2v_2$

$p_y=0.3\ kg\times 45\ m/s$

$p_y=13.5\ kg-m/s$

The net momentum is given by :

$p=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}$

$p=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}$

p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the two pieces is 21.24 kg-m/s.

If you are driving 80 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.1 s , how far do you travel during this inattent

ella [17]

Velocity = displacement / time

First, Always make sure that your units for things are the same. In this question, we are given time in seconds and hours. So, we need to make them all use 1 unit.

I will do seconds.

To convert 80km/h to m/s, divide by 3.6.

22.2222…. m/s = displacement / 2.1s

Multiply by 2.1s on both sides

46.6666……m = displacement

You travelled 47 meters.
