On a different planet, a ball is fired straight upwards from the ground with an initial speed of 100 m/s. At the same instant, a

second ball is dropped from the top of a cliff 400 m above the ground. The balls arrive at the same vertical location at the EXACT instant that the ball thrown upwards reaches its highest point. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on this planet. In other words, find g on this planet. You can assume there is no air resistance.

Answer:

g = 25 m/s²

Explanation:

Since, the balls meet at the exact instant when upward thrown ball reaches its maximum point. Therefore, applying 1st equation of motion to it, we get:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + gt

where,

g = -g (for upward motion) = acceleration due to gravity at that planet = ?

t = time

Vf₁ = Final Velocity of Upward Thrown ball = 0 m/s (ball stops at highest point)

Vi₁ = Initial Velocity of Upward Thrown Ball = 100 m/s

Therefore,

0 m/s = 100 m/s - gt

gt = 100 m/s  ------------- equation 1

Now, applying 3rd equation of motion for the height covered:

2(-g)h₁ = Vf₁² - Vi₁²

h₁ = 10000/2g

Now, we apply 2nd equation of motion to second ball moving downward:

h₂ = Vi₂t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h₂ = height covered by second ball at the time of meeting

Vi₂ = initial velocity of second ball = 0 m/s (since, it starts from rest)

Therefore,

h₂ = (0)(t) + (0.5)gt²

h₂ = (0.5)gt²

Now, it is clear from the given condition, that when the two balls meet, the sum of distance covered  by both the balls will be equal to 400 m. Therefore,

h₁ + h₂ = 400 m

using values:

10000/2g + (0.5)gt² = 400

10000 + g²t² = (400)(2g)

using equation 1:

10000 + (100)² = 800g

g = 20000/800

<u>g = 25 m/s²</u>

A crude approximation for the x component of velocity in an incompressible laminar boundary layer is a linear variation from u =
slega [8]

Answer:

2.5 * 10^-3

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

The simplest solution is obtained if we assume that this is a two-dimensional steady flow, since in that case there are no dependencies upon the z coordinate or time t. Also, we will assume that there are no additional arbitrary purely x dependent functions f (x) in the velocity component v. The continuity equation for a two-dimensional in compressible flow states:

<em>δu/δx+δv/δy=0</em>

so that:  

<em>δv/δy= -δu/δx</em>

Now, since u = Uy/δ, where δ = cx^1/2, we have that:

<em>u=U*y/cx^1/2</em>

and we obtain:  

<em>δv/δy=U*y/2cx^3/2</em>

The last equation can be integrated to obtain (while also using the condition of simplest solution - no z or t dependence, and no additional arbitrary functions of x):  

v=∫δv/δy(dy)=U*y/4cx^1/2

 =y/x*(U*y/4cx^1/2)

 =u*y/4x

which is exactly what we needed to demonstrate.  

Also, using u = U*y/δ in the last equation we can obtain:  

v/U=u*y/4*U*x

     =y^2/4*δ*x

which obviously attains its maximum value for the which is y = δ (boundary-layer edge). So, finally:

(v/U)_max=δ^2/4δx

                =δ/4x

                =2.5 * 10^-3
