The second ball traveled a greater distance when compared to the first ball because the second ball spent more time in motion.

The given parameters;

  • time of fall of the first ball, t = 1 s
  • time of fall of the second ball, t = 3 s

The distance traveled by each ball is calculated using the second equation of motion as shown below.

The distance traveled by the first ball is calculated as follows;

h = u_0t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 1^2)\\\\h = 4.9 \ m

The distance traveled by the second ball is calculated as follows;

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 3^2)\\\\h = 44.1\ m

Thus, the second ball traveled a greater distance because it spent more time in motion.

The boom of a fire truck raises a fireman (and his equipment – total weight 280 lbf) 60 ft into the air to fight a building fire
Katen [24]

Answer:

a)Work done by fireman=   2.15  Btu

b) Time t= 0.86 sec

Explanation:

Given that

Weight = 280 lbf

We know that 1 lbf = 4.44 N

so 280 lbf = 1245.5 N

Weight =1245.5 N

Height h = 60 ft

We know that

1 ft = 0.3048 m

So 60 ft = 18.28 m

 h =18.28 m

Power = 3.5 hp

We know that

1 hp =0.74 KW

So 3.5 hp = 2.61 KW

Power = 2.61 KJ/s

So the work done by fireman = Weight x h

Now by putting the values

Work done by fireman= 1245.5 x 18.28 J

Work done by fireman=   2267.74 J

Work done by fireman=   2.26774  KJ

We know that 1 Btu= 1.05 KJ

So   2.266 KJ = 2.15 Btu

Work done by fireman=   2.15  Btu

We know that ,rate of work is called power.

Power x time =  work

2.61 x t = 2.26

So t= 0.86 sec

Masja [62]
<span>When Kevin pulls his cotton shirt off his body, the electrons get transferred from the shirt (in form of static charges i.e. electrons to the body. So, the shirt becomes positively charged and Kevin’s body becomes negatively charged.

As a result of charge transfer from the shirt to the body, we can hear a crackling sound. or if observed in dark, a sparkle can be seen.</span>

A hydrogen fuel cell supplies power for a small motor. the fuel cell delivers a current of 0.5 a and a voltage of 0.43 v. what i
gogolik [260]
We want to know what is the power supplied by the power cell if the current I=0.5 A and the voltage V=0.43 V. The equation for power P is P= I*V, so:

P=I*V=0.5*0.43=0.215 W

So the correct answer is that the power cell is supplying the motor with P=0.215 W of power.

A slab of glass 8.0 cm thick is placed upon a printed page. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, how far from the surfac
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

5.3 cm

Explanation:

This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.

From the question, we have the following given parameters

Real Distance, R = 8.0cm

Refractive Index, μ = 1.5

Required

Determine the apparent distance (A)

The relationship between R, A and μ is:

μ = R/A

i.e.

Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance

Substitute values in the above formula

1.5 = 8/A

Multiply both sides by A

1.5 * A = A * 8/A

1.5A = 8

Divide both side by 1.5

1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5

A = 8/1.5

A = 5.3cm

Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm
