You catch a volleyball (mass 0.270 kg) that is moving downward at 7.50 m/s. In stopping the ball, your hands and the volleyball

descend together a distance of 0.150 m.
How much work do your hands do on the volleyball in the process of stopping it?
What is the magnitude of the force (assumed constant) that your hands exert on the volleyball?

Explanation:

The work done equals the change in energy.

W = ΔKE

W = 0 − ½mv²

W = -½ (0.270 kg) (-7.50 m/s)²

W = -7.59 J

Work is force times displacement.

W = Fd

-7.59 J = F (-0.150 m)

F = 50.6 N

A car is travelling to the right with a speed of 42\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}42 s m ​ 42, space, start fraction, m, divided by,
Effectus [21]

Answer:

d = 84 m

Explanation:

As we know that when an object moves with uniform acceleration or deceleration then we can use equation of kinematics to find the distance moved by the object

here we know that

initial speed v_i = 42 m/s

final speed v_f = 0

time taken by the car to stop

t = 4s

now the distance moved by the car before it stop is given as

d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} \times t

now we have

d = \frac{42 + 0}{2} \times 4

d = 84 m

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.

f a car is speeding down a road at 40 miles/hour (mph), how long is the stopping distance D40 compared to the stopping distance
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

D40 = 2.56 × D25

so number is 2.56 multiple of stopping distance @ 25 mph

Explanation:

given data

speed = 40 miles / hour

distance = D40

speed limit = 25 miles / hour

distance = D25

to find out

express number a multiple of stopping distance @ 25 mph

solution

we know here stopping distance is directly proportional to (speed)²

so here speed ratio is

initial speed = \frac{40}{25}

so initial speed = 1.6

so

stopping distance increase = (1.6)²

\frac{D40}{D25} = (1.6)²

\frac{D40}{D25} = 2.56

so here

D40 = 2.56 × D25

so number is 2.56 multiple of stopping distance @ 25 mph

The Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m

(b)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m

(c)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.
