Answer: Gravity slows the ball down as it goes up and eventually stops it from going up and starts to pull it back down to earth.

An arrow is shot upward from the roof of a building 75 m high with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If g = 10 m/s2 , what total dista
Elenna [48]

Answer:

60m

Explanation:

According to one of the equation of motions, v² = u²+2as where;

S is the distance

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

Since the arrow is shot upwards, the body will experience a negative acceleration due to gravity i.e a = -g

Therefore our equation will become;

v² = u² - 2gS

Given u = 40m/s, g = 10m/s², S = 75m

Substituting to get the final velocity of the arrow we will have;

v² = 40²-2(10)(75)

v² = 1600 - 1500

v² = 100

v = √100

v = 10m/s

Total distance traveled is speed of the object × time taken

Total distance traveled = 10 × 6

= 60m

The arrow has therefore traveled 60m after 6seconds

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s
Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

Over [174]
The protons and electrons are held in place on the x axis.
The proton is at x = -d and the electron is at x = +d. They are released at the same time and the only force that affects movement is the electrostatic force that is applied on both subatomic particles. According to Newton's third law, the force Fpe exerted on protons by the electron is opposite in magnitude and direction to the force Fep exerted on the electron by the proton. That is, Fpe = - Fep. According to Newton's second law, this equation can be written as
                               Mp * ap = -Me * ae
where Mp and Me are the masses, and ap and ae are the accelerations of the proton and the electron, respectively. Since the mass of the electron is much smaller than the mass of the proton, in order for the equation above to hold, the acceleration of the electron at that moment must be considerably larger than the acceleration of the proton at that moment. Since electrons have much greater acceleration than protons, they achieve a faster rate than protons and therefore first reach the origin.
