A ball is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa

y down, and passes a point 160 ft below its starting point 5 sec after it leaves the thrower’s hand. (a) What was the initial velocity of the ball? (b) How high did it rise above its starting point? (c) What was the magnitude of its velocity as it passed a point 64 ft below the starting point?

Answer:

a) 48.5 ft/s

b) 36.5 ft

c) -80.3 ft/s

Explanation:

a)

The equation of motion of the ball is :

y(t) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * t^2 + Vo*t

Where Vo is the initial velocity

If y(5s) = - 160 ft:

-160 ft = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (5 s)^2 + Vo*(5s)

Solving for Vo

Vo  = (16.1*25- 160) ft / 5s = 48.5 ft/s

b)

To answer this question we must first know when the velocity became zero, at this time is when the ball was at its highest point.

v(t) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * t + Vo

t = Vo/32.2ft/s^2 = 1.5 s

And now, the highest point which the ball reached is given by:

y(1.5s) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (1.5)^2 + Vo*(1.5s)

y(1.5s) = 36.52 ft

c)

We now need the time at which y(t') = -64 ft

-64 = -16.1*t'^2 + 48.5*t'

By means of the quadratic formula, we find that

t' = 4.00498 s ≈ 4 s

And the velocity at t = 4s is:

v(4s) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * 4s +48.5 ft/s = -80.3 ft/s

A weightlifter lifts a 1250-N barbell 2 m in 3 s.How much power was used to lift the barbell?
Vlad [161]

The power is 833.3 W

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the work done in lifting the barbell, which is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the barbell:

W=(mg)h

where

mg = 1250 N is the weight of the barbell

h = 2 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(1250)(2)=2500 J

Now we can calculate the power, which is equal to the work done per unit time:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 3 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{2500}{3}=833.3 W

Find the displacement in meters a runner would travel in 5 hours at an average velocity of 12km/h to the southwest
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

60,000m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s by multiplying with 1000/3600.

Convert hours to seconds by multiplying with 3600.

Because displacement is a vector quantity and deals with the shortest distance between points, simply plug it into the equation s=vt.

A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 5 m, travels in vacuum in the positive x direction with its electric vector E, of
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

E₀ = 229.1 V/m

E = E₀ / √2 = 229.1 / 1.414 = 162 V/m

B =  E / c  ( c is velocity of em waves )

=   162 / (3 x 10⁸)  = 54 x 10⁻⁸ T

rate of energy flow =  ( E x B )  / μ₀

= 162 x 54 x 10⁻⁸ / 4π x 10⁻⁷

= 69.65 W per m².
