Darina [25.2K]

The maximum height reached by the ball is 99.2 m

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown straight up, it follows a free fall motion, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground). Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

In this problem, we have:

u = 44.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

v = 0 is the final velocity when the ball reaches the maximum height

s is the maximum height

$a=-g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (downward, so negative)

Solving for s, we find the maximum height reached by the ball:

$s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}=-\frac{44.1^2}{2(-9.8)}=99.2 m$

Determine the angular speed, in rad/s of:

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The earth about its axis:

The earth makes one revolution in 24 hours. to know the number of revolutions per second it makes, we need to convert hours to seconds and the revolution to rad.

$\frac{1 rev}{24hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s$

B. The minute hand of the clock makes one revolution in 60 minutes

To convert this to rad per second, we have

$\frac{1 rev}{60mins}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.745 \times10^-3rad/s$

C. The hour hand of a clock completes one revolution in 12 hours

$\frac{1 rev}{12hours}\times \frac{1 hr}{3600s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 1.454 \times10^-4 rad/s$

D. an egg beater turning at 300 rpm.

$\frac{300 rev}{1minute}\times \frac{1 min}{60s}\times \frac{2\pi}{1}= 7.27 \times10^-5 rad/s=0.0218rad/s$

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$6.66\cdot 10^{-12}T$

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current

r is the distance from the wire

In this problem we have

$I=0.040 \mu A=4\cdot 10^{-8}A$

r = 1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

So the magnetic field strength is

$B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} H/m)(4\cdot 10^{-8}A)}{2\pi (0.0012 m)}=6.66\cdot 10^{-12}T$

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its speed in order move in a circular path

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its velocity in order to move in a circular path.

In fact, remind that velocity is a vector which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction.

When an object is moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the motion is constantly changing (since the trajectory is a circle): so, this means that the velocity is also changing. However, this does not imply that the speed of the object is changing. In fact, in a uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant.
