A ball is dropped off the roof of a tall building. If the ball reaches the ground in 8 seconds, how tall is the building, in met

Ghella [55]3 years ago

Let <em>b</em> be the height of the building, and <em>y</em> the height of the ball at time <em>t</em>, given by

<em>y</em> = <em>b</em> - 1/2 <em>gt</em>²

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

It takes the ball 8 s to reach the ground, at which point <em>y</em> = 0, so that

0 = <em>b</em> - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) (8 s)²

<em>b</em> = 313.6 m

Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?
Alexus [3.1K]

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects.  Drag is the frictional force opposing motion.  Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force.  Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force.  It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift.  It's what makes them fly.  The same shape is found in racecar spoilers.  These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.

1. why is<br> experimentation so important to science
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: to provide evidence to a theory

Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on
vampirchik [111]
For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
                                 = 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
           = 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each. 

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
                                    =  720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
           = 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra. 
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.
