Answer:

Speed of the ball when it was thrown = 16.67 m/s

Height reached by the ball = 14.16 s

Explanation:

Given time in the ball comes to the same height from where the ball was thrown is 3.4 s.

Let us assume that the ball was thrown with a speed of u in the upward direction. Since only gravitational force acts on the particle in the downward direction, it has a constant acceleration in the downward direction.

We also know that a particle has the same magnitude of velocity when it is under a free fall at a fixed height but direction is opposite i.e., initially in the upward direction and finally in the downward direction.

Hence, the particle was thrown with a speed of 16.67 m/s.

Now, we also note that the particle has zero velocity at its maximum height.

So, from the initial position to the maximum height reached by the particle, we have

Hence, the maximum height reached by the ball is 14.16 m.

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the
const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car  = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{Force }{mass}   = \frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }    = 3.06m/s² to the east

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.

How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +125 v to a point where it is -55 v
777dan777 [17]
The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
W= qV_i - qV_f
where q is the charge of the proton, q=1 e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C, with e being the elementary charge, and V_i = +125 V and V_f = -55 V are the initial and final voltage.

Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
W=e(125 V-(-55 V))=180 eV
and in Joule:
W=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19})(125 V-(-55V))=2.88 \cdot 10^{-17}J
