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

A. The difference in the two ball's time in the air is 3 seconds

B. The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

C. The balls 0.500 s after they are thrown are 14.7 m apart

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }$

$\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }$

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Initial Height = H = 19.6 m

Initial Velocity = u = 14.7 m/s

<u>Unknown:</u>

A. Δt = ?

B. v = ?

C. Δh = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h2>Question A:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 - 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 + 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 + 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t + 4)(t - 1) = 0$

$(t - 1) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 1 ~ second}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$0 = 19.6 + 14.7t - 4.9t^2$

$4.9t^2 - 14.7t - 19.6 = 0$

$t^2 - 3t - 4 = 0$

$(t - 4)(t + 1) = 0$

$(t - 4) = 0$

$\boxed {t = 4 ~ seconds}$

The difference in the two ball's time in the air is:

$\Delta t = 4 ~ seconds - 1 ~ second$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta t = 3 ~ seconds} }$

<h2>Question B:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (-14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$v^2 = u^2 - 2gH$

$v^2 = (14.7)^2 + 2(-9.8)(-19.6)$

$v^2 = 600.25$

$v = \sqrt {600.25}$

$\boxed {v = 24.5 ~ m/s}$

The velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground is 24.5 m/s

<h2>Question C:</h2><h3>First Ball</h3>

$h = H - ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 - 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 11.025 ~ m}$

<h3>Second Ball</h3>

$h = H + ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 19.6 + 14.7(0.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(0.5)^2$

$\boxed {h = 25.725 ~ m}$

The difference in the two ball's height after 0.500 s is:

$\Delta h = 25.725 ~ m - 11.025 ~ m$

$\large {\boxed {\Delta h = 14.7 ~ m} }$

Consider a string of length 1.0 meter, fixed at both ends, with mass 100 grams and tension 100 newtons. part a give the number o

Bond [772]

To answer the problem we would be using this formula which isv = sqrt(T/(m/L))
v = sqrt(100 N / [(0.100 kg)/(1.0 m)])
v = 31.62 m/s
v = fλ
31.62 m/s = (95 Hz)(λ)
λ = 0.333 m
For every wavelength along a string there will be 2 antinodes.
1.0 m / 0.333 m = 3
3 * 2 = 6 antinodes
6 + 1 = 7 nodes

What is the mass of an object that weighs 686N on Earth?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

70 kg is the mass of the object

Explanation:

This question can be solved with this simple formula:

Weight force = mass . gravity

686 N = mass . 9.8 m/s²

686 N / 9.8 m/s² = mass → 70 kg

Note → 1N = 1 kg . m / s²
