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

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

when approaching the front of an idling jet engine, the hazard area extends forward of the engine approximately
Dominik [7]

when approaching the front of an idling jet engine, the hazard area extends forward of the engine approximately 25 feet.

<h3>What impact, if any, would jet fuel and aviation gasoline have on a turbine engine?</h3>

Tetraethyl lead, which is present in gasoline, deposits itself on the turbine blades. Because jet fuel has a higher viscosity than aviation gasoline, it may retain impurities with greater ease.

Once the gasoline charge has been cleared, start the engine manually or with an electric starter while cutting the ignition and using the maximum throttle.

On the final approach, the aeroplane needs to be re-trimmed to account for the altered aerodynamic forces. A substantial nose-down tendency results from the airflow producing less lift on the wings and less downward force on the horizontal stabiliser due to the reduced power and slower velocity.

A fire hose held near the ground shoots water at a speed of 6.5 m/s. At what angle(s) should the nozzle point in order that the
valina [46]
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
v_x = 6.5 cos \theta \\ v_y = 6.5 sin \theta

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
y(t) = -4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t \\  \\ x(t) = (6.5 cos \theta) t
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
-4.9t^2 + (6.5sin \theta) t=0 \\  \\ t = \frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta \\ \\(6.5 cos \theta)(\frac{6.5}{4.9} sin \theta) = 2.5 \\  \\ sin \theta cos \theta = 0.29 \\  \\ sin 2\theta = 0.58 \\  \\ 2\theta = 35.4, 144.6 \\  \\ \theta = 17.7,72.3
