A ball is thrown downwards from a height of 10m with speed of 5m/s, assuming g=10m/s^2, calculate the final velocity of the ball when it hits the ground

First recall the suvat equation: v^2=u^2+2as.
It is always handy to draw a diagram in physics to illustrate the problem.
Next, using u=5, a=10, s = 10, solve for v in the suvat equation, arrivi...

Rutherford’s alpha particle scattering experiments gave what evidence about an atom?

Before we can look at the evidence we need to look at the observations from the experiment. During the session we will go through the experiment and then the observations to deduce the atom theory - and h...

A projectile is launched with a speed of 10m/s at an angle 30 degrees from the positive x axis. What is the range of the projectile?

8.82 m. The 'range' means the distance along the positive x axis travelled by the projectile during its flight. First calculate the time elapsed over the flight using the SUVAT equation y = usin(θ)t - 0.5...

A block of mass 5kg moving in a straight line at constant speed travels 50 metres in 14 seconds. Calculate the block's momentum.

p = 17.9 kgm/s. p = mv. v = d/t. p = md/t. p = (5 x 50)/14

Give a brief description of the Big Bang and describe its link to cosmic microwave background radiation.

The Big Bang is the leading theory on the creation of the universe. It states that all mass and energy were concentrated at a single point before a large explosion occurred, signalling the start of time. ...
