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]4 years ago
5 0

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

A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 20.6 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of
lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 20.6\times 10^3\ m

\theta = The angle subtended by moon = 9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad

Distance traveled is given by

s=r\times\theta

\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}

\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m

if a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point A within the block is 0.6meter, what's the
Fittoniya [83]
The pressure exerted by a fluid solely relies on the depth or height of the fluid, its density, and the gravitational constant. These three are related in the equation:

Pressure = density x g x height

In the problem, point A is within the block inside the tank. The water above the block is assumed to be 0.6 meters. This gives a point A pressure of:

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.6 m = 5,886 Pa or 5.88KPa

kupik [55]

Answer:

C) 40 N/m

Explanation:

If we ASSUME that the spring is un-stretched at the zero cm position

k = F/Δx = 10/0.25 = 40 N/m
