Alex climbs to the top of a tall tree while his friend Gary waits on the ground below. Alex throws down a ball at 8 m/s from 50

m above the ground at the same time Gary throws a ball up. At what speed must Gary throw a ball up in order for the two balls to cross paths 25 m above the ground? The starting height of the ball thrown upward is 1.5 m above the ground. Ignore the effects of air resistance. whats the answer in m/s?

Answer:22.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given

two balls are separated by a distance of 50 m

Alex throws  the ball from a height of 50 m with a velocity of 8 m/s and Gary launches a ball with some velocity  exactly at the same time.

ball  from ground travels a distance of 25 m in t sec

For Person on tree  

25=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

25=8t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2--------1

For person at ground

23.5=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2---------2

Solve equation (1)

50=16t+9.81t^2

9.81t^2+16t-50=0

t=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt{256+4\times 50\times 9.81}}{2\times 9.81}=\frac{47.1-16}{19.62}=1.58 s

put the value of t in equation 2

23.5=u\times 1.58-\frac{9.81\times 1.58^2}{2}

u=\frac{35.744}{1.58}=22.62 m/s

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Enrique is given information about a satellite orbiting Earth. R = 3. 8 Ă— 108 m T = 18 days In order to calculate the tangentia
NISA [10]

The first step that  Enrique must take in order to calculate the tangential speed of the satellite is to convert the period from days to seconds.

We know that the SI unit of speed is meter per second and now, we with to obtain the tangential speed of the satellite.

Since the period is given in days, the first step is to convert the period from days to seconds.

It's the second graph!
it's the only one with a negative gradient.
so the temperature of the ball will fall in water as it looses its heat.

The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.6 square inches. If a force of 5.6 lb
balu736 [363]

Answer:

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

Explanation:

Force applied on the piston = F_1=5.6 lb

Area of the piston = A_1=0.6 inches^2

Force applied on the brakes = F_2

Area of the brakes = A_2=1.8 inches^2

Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.

\frac{F_1}{A_2}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

F_2=\frac{5.6 lb\times 1.8 inhes^2}{0.6 inches^2}=16.8 lb

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.
