A ball is thrown upwards at an unknown speed. in a time of

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a) Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) At height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

s = 6 m, t = 0.5 seconds, a = acceleration due to gravity value = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$6=u*0.5-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*0.5^2\\ \\ u=14.45m/s$

Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) We have equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where v is the final velocity

s = 6 m, u = 14.45 m/s, a = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$v^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*6\\ \\ v=9.55m/s$

So at height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) We have equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where v is the final velocity

u = 14.45 m/s, v =0 , a = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$0^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*s\\ \\ s=10.65 m$

Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro

Zielflug [23.3K]

<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.

The cartesian coordinates of a point in the xy plane are x = −6.46 m, y = −3.78 m. Find the distance r from the point to the ori

11111nata11111 [884]

Explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem:

r² = x² + y²

r² = (-6.46 m)² + (-3.78 m)²

r = 7.48 m

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?

givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67
