A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds.
(a) What is the velocity of the ball when it reaches its highest point?
(b) What is its velocity 1 s before it reaches its highest point?
(c) What is the charge in its velocity, Δv, during this 1-s interval?
(d) What is its velocity 1 s after it reaches its highest point?
(e) What is the change in its velocity, Δv, during this 1-s interval?
(f) What is the change in its velocity, Δv, during the 2-s interval from 1 s before it reaches the highest point to 1 s after it reaches the highest point? (Caution: We are talking about velocity, not speed.)
(g) What is the acceleration of the ball during any of these time intervals and at the moment the ball has zero velocity?

- An electron, with an initial horizontal velocity of magnitude 2.44 × 109 cm/s, travels into the region between two horizontal metal plates that are electrically charged. In that region, it travels a horizontal distance of 2.18 cm and has a constant downward acceleration of magnitude 3.13 × 1017 cm/s2 due to the charged plates. Find (a) the time required by the electron to travel the 2.18 cm and (b) the vertical distance it travels during that time. Also find the magnitudes of the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical velocity components of the electron as it emerges.arrow_forwardIn the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom,the speed of the electron is approximately2.44 × 10^6 m/s.Find the central force acting on the electronas it revolves in a circular orbit of radius5.32 × 10^−11 m.Answer in units of N.

In that region, it travels a horizontal distance of 2.25 cm and has a constant downward acceleration of magnitude 2.35 × 1017 cm/s2 due to the charged plates. Find (a) the time required by the electron to travel the 2.25 cm and (b) the vertical distance it travels during that time. Also find the magnitudes of the (c) horizontal and (d) vertical velocity components of the electron as it emerges. I just need (c) and (d) solved.

- Consider an object of mass 78.3kg. Assume that it’s made up of equal numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Youve separated the boxes of protons and electrons by a distance of 65 m. If you were to release the clump of protons from their box, how much acceleration would the clump of protons undergo due to its attraction to the clump of electrons in the other box?arrow_forwardA group of Loyola students decided to depart from Earth after graduation to find work on Mars. Before building a shuttle, they conducted careful calculations. A model for the velocity of the shuttle, from liftoff at t = 0 s until the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned at t = 84.8 s, is given by ?(?)=0.001111333?^3−0.085745?^2+30.69?+9.71 (in feet per second). Using this model, estimate the global maximum value =?and global minimum value =?arrow_forwardan electron travelling at 7.72 X 106 m/s [E] enters a force field that reduces its velocity to 2.46 X 106 m/s [E].

Find the speed of each particle.arrow_forwardA team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).arrow_forwardIn the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the speed of the electron is approximately 2.15 × 106 m/s.
