A ball is thrown straight up into the air and passes a window 3 seconds after being released. It passes the same window on its w

melomori [17]

The initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

On a snowy day, max (mass = 15 kg) pulls his little sister maya in a sled (combined mass = 20 kg) through the slippery snow. max

sesenic [268]

Work done by a given force is given by

$W = F.d$

here on sled two forces will do work

1. Applied force by Max

2. Frictional force due to ground

Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement

work done by Max = $W_1 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_1 = 12*5cos15$

$W_1 = 57.96 J$

Now similarly work done by frictional force

$W_2 = Fdcos\theta$

$W_2 = 4*5cos180$

$W_2= -20 J$

Now total work done on sled

$W_{net}= W_1 + W2$

$W_{net} = 57.96 - 20 = 37.96 J$

A student places her 490 g physics book on a frictionless table. She pushes the book against a spring, compressing the spring by

Paul [167]

Answer:

book speed is 3.99 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 490 g = 0.490 kg

compressing x = 7.10 cm = 0.0710 m

spring constant k = 1550 N/m

to find out

book speed

solution

we know energy is conserve so

we can say

loss in spring energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

so

$\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2 = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^2$ ..................1

put here value

$\frac{1}{2}*1550*0.071^2 = \frac{1}{2}*0.490*v^2$

v = 3.99 m/s

so book speed is 3.99 m/s

Against the wind a commercial airline in south america flew 784 miles in 4 hours. with a tailwind the return trip took 3.53 hour

ira [324]

First let us assign variables,

d = distance travelled

t = time it took

v = velocity of the commercial airline

In linear physics, the equation for velocity is given as:

v = d / t

Rewriting for d:

d = v t

We know that the distance to and from south America are equal therefore:

d1 (going) = d2 (return)

Let us say that velocity of air is v3. Since going to South America, the wind is against the direction of the plane and the return trip is the opposite, therefore:

(v1 - v3) t1 = (v1 + v3) t2

(v1 – v3) 4 = (v1 + v3) 3.53

4 v1 – 4 v3 = 3.53 v1 + 3.53 v3

0.47 v1 = 7.53 v3

v1 = 16.02 v3

Since we also know that:

(v1 - v3) t1 = 784

(16.02 v3 – v3) * 4 = 784

60.085 v3 = 784

v3 = 13.05 mph

Therefore the speed of the plane in still air, v1 is:

v1 = 16.02 * 13.05

<span>v1 = 209.03 mph (ANSWER)</span>
