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

why is a train more difficult to stop then a rolling ball even if they are traveling at the same speed? URGENT
zloy xaker [14]
Think of the formula force=mass x acceleration. even though they have the same acceleration, a train has more mass. is that helpful?

What is electrons ? explain it function<br>​
Neko [114]

Answer:

The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e⁻ or β⁻ , whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure

Explanation:

functions of electrons

and electrons being the negatively charged particles of atom. Together, all of the electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances the positive charge of the protons in the atomic nucleus

1. Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear relationship or is it a nonlinear square relation
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

Can you tell from the coefficient of restitution whether a collision has added kinetic energy to a system, taken some away, or l
Maurinko [17]
For an inelastic collision where coefficient of restitution,e, is equal to 0, the momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy. So, there is addition or elimination of kinetic energy.

On the otherhand, when e = 1, like for an elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Thus, the system's kinetic energy is unchanged.
