We don't know anything about the amount of distance it travels, but that's okay. The only equation we need here is 

velocity(final) = velocity(initial) + acceleration * time
vf = vi + (a * t)

The ball is dropped from rest, so vi = 0 m/s.
We want it so that the ball hits the ground with a final velocity of 60 m/s, so vf = 60 m/s. 
We are given the acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s^2.
We are solving for the time, t = ?.

Now we just plug in the values.
vf = vi + (a * t)
60 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s^2)*(t)

60 = 9.8t

60 / 9.8 = t

t = 6.122 s

Hopefully this is the right answer.

An astronaut in space pushes a piece of equipment to get it into the correct position. What does Newton's third law of motion te
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: C and D

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

The equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

Explanation: According to Newton's first law of motion which state that; A body at rest will continue to be at rest, or in linear motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless an external force act on it.

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

immediately the astronaut apply force to the object by pushing in, Newton's first law will be manifested in which the equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

If the thrower takes 0.90 s to complete one revolution, starting from rest, what will be the speed of the discus at release?
Marysya12 [62]
Ω₀ = the initial angular velocity (from rest)
t = 0.9 s, time for a revolution
θ = 2π rad, the angular distance traveled

Let
α =  the angular acceleration
ω =  the final angular velocity

The angular rotation obeys the equation
(1/2)*(α rad/s²)*(0.9 s)² = (2π rad)
α = 15.514 rad/s²

The final angular velocity is
ω = (15.514 rad/s²)*(0.9 s) = 13.963 rad/s

If the thrower's arm is r meters long, the tangential velocity of release will be 
v = 13.963r m/s

Answer: 13.963 rad/s

State a situation in which force is applied on a body, but no work is done​
LenaWriter [7]
If you press on your arm force is applied work done is if it moves.
One answer could be if I was to press my hand on a table.
Have a great day!

A baseball is hit with a bat. The direction of the ball is completely reversed and its speed is doubled. If the actual contact w
alexdok [17]
Before the impact, let the velocity of the baseball was v m/s.

After being hit by the bat its velocity is -2v
So, change in velocity, Deltav=v-(-2v)=3v
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity, i.e. actual change in velocity divided by the time taken to change it. Time taken to change velocity is the time of actual contact of the bat and ball, i.e. 0.31 s.

a=(Deltav)/(Deltat)
=(3v)/0.37
Therefore, a/v=3/0.31=9.7 s^-1
So, the ratio of acceleration of the baseball to its original velocity is 9.7.
