Beth wants to determine her throwing speed. She throws the softball horizontally and it touches the ground 42.6 m away. If the ball left her hand 1.40m above the ground, what initial velocity did she give the ball?

Aprojectile is launched horizontally 10m above the ground and with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. a) sketch the trajectory using an appropriate coordination system. b) how long for the projectile to reach the ground. c) how far did projectile travel horizontally before striking the ground. d) determine the projectilex & y position at t-1.3s e) determine the magnitude and direction of projectile velocity at t= 1.3s f) determine the magnitude and direction of projectile acceleration at t-1.3s

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.
