The acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction is $9.8 m/s^2$ , downward.

Explanation:

This is a typical example of projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion at constant velocity (since there are no forces in the horizontal direction)

- A vertical accelerated motion at constant acceleration (due to the presence of the force of gravity)

We are considering now the vertical motion only. There is only one force acting on the ball in this direction: the force of gravity, of magnitude

F = mg

where m is the mass of the ball and $g=9.8 m/s^2$ the acceleration due to gravity, downward. This means that the acceleration of the ball in this direction is (using Newton's second law)

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{mg}{m}=g = 9.8 m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction is $9.8 m/s^2$ , downward.

Answer:

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

Explanation:

The complete question is

Consider the following:

a) radio waves emitted by a weather radar system to detect raindrops and ice crystals in the atmosphere to study weather patterns;

b) microwaves used in communication satellite transmissions;

c) infrared waves that are perceived as heat when you turn on a burner on an electric stove;

d) the multicolor light in a rainbow;

e) the ultraviolet solar radiation that reaches the surface of the earth and causes unprotected skin to burn; and

f) X rays used in medicine for diagnostic imaging.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?

check all that apply to the above

They have different wavelengths.

They have different frequencies.

They propagate at different speeds through a vacuum depending on their frequency.

They propagate at different speeds through non-vacuum media depending on both their frequency and the material in which they travel.

They require different media to propagate.

All the above phenomena are due the electromagnetic wave spectrum. Electromagnetic waves travel at a constant speed of 3 x 10^8 m/s in a vacuum. Within the spectrum, the different types of electromagnetic waves exists in different band range of frequencies and wavelengths unique to each of the waves, and the energy they carry. When these waves enter a non-vacuum medium, their speed change, depending on the nature of the material of the medium, and the frequency or the wavelength of the incoming wave.

Someone fires a 0.04 kg bullet at a block of wood that has a mass of 0.5 kg. (The block of wood is sitting on a frictionless sur

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The speed of bullet and wooden bock coupled together, V = 22.22 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 0.04 Kg

Mass of the wooden block, M = 0.5 Kg

The initial velocity of the bullet, u = 300 m/s

The initial velocity of the wooden block, U = 0 m/s

The final velocity of the bullet and wooden bock coupled together, V = 0 m/s

According to the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the body after impact is equal to the total momentum before impact.

Therefore,

mV + MV = mu + MU

V(m+M) = mu

V = mu/(m+M)

Substituting the values in the above equation,

V = 0.04 Kg x 300 m/s / (0.04 Kg+ 0.5 Kg)

= 22.22 m/s

Hence, the speed of bullet and wooden bock coupled together, V = 22.22 m/s

A rigid vessel of 0.06 m3 volume contains an ideal gas , CV =2.5R, at 500K and 1 bar.a). if 15000J heat is transferred to the ga

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Given that

V= 0.06 m³

Cv= 2.5 R= 5/2 R

T₁=500 K

P₁=1 bar

Heat addition = 15000 J

We know that heat addition at constant volume process ( rigid vessel ) given as

Q = n Cv ΔT

We know that

P V = n R T

n=PV/RT

n= (100 x 0.06)(500 x 8.314)

n=1.443 mol

Q = n Cv ΔT

15000 = 1.433 x 2.5 x 8.314 ( T₂-500)

T₂=1000.12 K

We know that at constant volume process

P₂/P₁=T₂/T₁

P₂/1 = 1000.21/500

P₂= 2 bar

Entropy change given as

$\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}$

Cp-Cv= R

Cp=7/2 R

Now by putting the values

$\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}$

$\Delta S=1.443\times 3.5\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{1000.21}{500}-1.443\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{2}{1}$

a)ΔS= 20.79 J/K

If the process is adiabatic it means that heat transfer is zero.

ΔS= 20.79 J/K

We know that

$\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}$

Process is adiabatic

$\Delta S_{surr}=0$

$\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}$

$\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79 +0$

$\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79$
