Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Initial velocity; u = 0,        Final velocity; v = 19.6 m/s

        time; t = 2 seconds

As the relation between initial velocity, final velocity and acceleration is as follows.

                         v = u + at

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                       v = u + at

           19.6 m/s = 0 + a \times 2 sec

                   a = 9.8 m/s^{2}              

Thus, we can conclude that acceleration of the dropped ball is 9.8 m/s^{2}.

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

If a ball was thrown upward at 46.3 m/s how long would the ball stay in the air
galben [10]
V = Vo + a.t



The ball is against the vector of gravity. Then, the gravity will be negative.

0 = 46,3  + (-9.8).t \\ 
t =   \frac{46.3}{9.8}  \\ 
t \approx 4.72 



The ball will stop in the air after approx. 4.72 seconds. And will take the same time to hit the ground.

It will stay approx. 9.44 seconds in the air.

A ball is dropped from the top of a cliff. By the time it reaches the ground, all the energy in its gravitational potential ener
Bingel [31]

The ball was dropped from a height 20 meters

Explanation:

The given is

1. A ball is dropped from the top of a cliff

2. By the time it reaches the ground, all the energy in its gravitational

   potential energy store has been transferred into its kinetic energy

   store, that mean K.E = P.E

3. The ball is travelling at 20 m/s when it hits the ground

4. The gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg

We need to find the height that the ball dropped from it

The ball dropped from the top of a cliff means the initial speed is 0

→ K.E = \frac{1}{2}m(v^{2}-v_{0}^{2})

where v is the final speed, v_{0} in the initial speed and m

is the mass

→ v = 20 m/s and v_{0} = 0 m/s

→ K.E = \frac{1}{2}m(20^{2}-0^{2})

→ K.E = \frac{1}{2}m(400)

→ K.E = 200 m joules ⇒ when the ball hits the ground

→ P.E = m g h

where g is the gravitational field strength, m is the mass and h is

the height

→ g = 10 N/kg

→ P.E = m(10)(h)

→ P.E = 10 m h joules

→ P.E = K.E

→ 10 m h = 200 m

Divide both sides by 10 m

→ h = 20 meters

The ball was dropped from a height 20 meters

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.

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
sesenic [268]

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

You are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As so
grigory [225]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time duration during which acceleration exists in  bicycle =

23 / 12 = 1.91 s

Time duration during which acceleration exists in car

= 47 / 8 = 5.875 s

Distance covered by bicycle during acceleration ( t = 1.91 s )

= 1/2 x 12 x (1.91)²

= 21.88 mi

Distance covered by car during this time ( t = 1.91 s )

= 1/2 x 8 x (1.91)²

7.64 mi ,

velocity of car after 1.91 s

= 8 x 1.91 = 15.28 mi/h

Let after time 1.91 , time taken by them to meet each other be t

Total distance covered by cycle = total distance covered by car

21.88 + 23 t = 7.64 + 15.28t + 4 t²

21.88 = 7.64 - 7.72t +4 t²

4 t² -7.72 t -14.24 = 0

t = 2.83 s

Total time taken

= 2.83 + 1.91

= 4.74 s

So after 4.74 s they will meet each other.

b ) Maximum distance occurs when velocity of both of them becomes equal .

Velocity after 1.91 s of bicycle

12 x 1.91 = 23 mi/h

Velocity after 1.91 s of car

8 x 1.91 = 15.28 mi/h . Let after time t , the velocity of car becomes 23

15.28 + 8t = 23

t = .965 s

So after time .965 s , car has velocity equal to that of bicycle.

The bicycle will travel a distance of

= 21.88 + .965 x 23 = 44.075 mi

car will travel a distance of

7.64 + 15.28 x .965 + .5 x 8 x .965²

= 7.64 + 14.75 + 3.72

= 26.11 mi

Distance between car and bicycle

= 44.075 - 26.11 = 17.965 mi

= 17.965 x 1760

= 31618.4 ft.
