A rock (m= 2kg) is shot up vertically at the same time that a ball (m= 0.5kg) is projected horizontally. If both start from the

same height: A. the rock and ball will reach the ground at the same time.
B. the rock will reach the ground first.
C. the ball will reach the ground first.
D. the rock and ball will collide in the air before reaching the ground.
Can you explain why the answer is C?

Answer:

The correct option is C. the ball will reach the ground first.

Explanation:

The ball will reach the ground first since the mass of each object does not affect the rate of fall, both are subject to the same gravitational acceleration 9.81 m / s2. The rock in its vertical movement invests a time that the ball is not released horizontally, so that time of vertical flight of the rock plus the extra height it will have will reach the ground after the rock. Regardless of the friction of the air, it will be different in both objects.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
Debora [2.8K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The period of the wave is <u><em>4 seconds</em></u>

<h3><em><u>Explanation;</u></em></h3>
  • <em><u>The period of a wave or periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation to occur.</u></em> In this case, one complete oscillation occurs when the wave moves from one crest to the next or a trough to the next. <em><u>This takes 4 seconds. Therefore the period is 4 seconds.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Frequency on the other hand is the number of oscillations by a wave in one second. Thus, f = 1/T, that is frequency is the reciprocal of periodic time.</u></em>

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (
Xelga [282]

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

<h2>42.67N</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

<u>Given </u>

mass m= 0.32kg

intital velocity, u= 14m/s

final velocity v= 22m/s

time= 0.06s

Step two:

<u>Required</u>

Force F

the expression for the force is

F=mΔv/t

F=0.32*(22-14)/0.06

F=(0.32*8)/0.06

F=2.56/0.06

F=42.67N

The average force exerted on the bat 42.67N
