Suppose you are driving a car and your friend, who is with you in the car, tosses a softball up and down from her point of view.

A second friend of yours stands on the street and sees you passing by and says, "You are testing projectile motion with the softball!". Your friend on the street claims that each of you measures a different value for the vertical component of the initial velocity of the softball. Do you agree with the statement?

Answer:

No, i disagree.

Explanation:

If the car is moving, it only has a velocity with a component in the horizontal direction. If we use galilean relativity, the velocity of the ball observed by my friend standing in the ground should only be affected in the horizonal direction, while the vertical stays the same for both observers.

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

A uniform 1.0-N meter stick is suspended horizontally by vertical strings attached at each end. A 2.0-N weight is suspended from
fgiga [73]

Answer:

3.5 N

Explanation:

Let the 0-cm end be the moment point. We know that for the system to be balanced, the total moment about this point must be 0. Let's calculate the moment at each point, in order from 0 to 100cm

- Tension of the string attached at the 0cm end is 0 as moment arm is 0

- 2 N weight suspended from the 10 cm position: 2*10 = 20 Ncm clockwise

- 2 N weight suspended from the 50 cm position: 2*50 = 100 Ncm clockwise

- 1 N stick weight at its center of mass, which is 50 cm position, since the stick is uniform: 1*50 = 50 Ncm clockwise

- 3 N weight suspended from the 60 cm position: 3*60 = 180 Ncm clockwise

- Tension T (N) of the string attached at the 100-cm end: T*100 = 100T Ncm counter-clockwise.

Total Clockwise moment = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350Ncm

Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T

For this to balance, 100 T = 350

so T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N

A mass of 0.4 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.76 m and whose unstretched length is 0.41 m. Next the
Blizzard [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 1.256 m

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

We can start by finding the spring constant  

F = k*y  

Therefore;  k = F/y = m*g/y

                               = 0.40kg*9.8m/s^2/(0.76 - 0.41)

                               = 11.2 N/m  

Energy is conserved  

Let A be the maximum displacement  

Therefore;  1/2*k*A^2 = 1/2*k*(1.20 - 0.41)^2 + 1/2*m*v^2  

Thus;  A = sqrt((1.20 - 0.55)^2 + m/k*v^2)

               = sqrt((1.20 -0.55)^2 + 0.40/9.8*1.6^2)

                = 0.846 m  

Thus; the length will be 0.41 + 0.846  = 1.256 m

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C
