A blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 21.8 m/s, from a height of 0.9 meters above the ground. 2.7 seconds after

the blue ball is thrown, a red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 10.4 m/s from a height of 26.6 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2.

I can think of two possible and logical questions for the problem given. First, you can calculate for the maximum height reached by the blue ball. Second, you can compute the length of time for the two balls to be at the same height. If so, the solution are as follows:

When the object is thrown upwards or when the object is dropped from a height, the only force acting upon it is the gravitational force. Because of this, it simplifies equations of motion.

1. For the maximum height, the equation is
H = v₀²/2g
where
v₀ is the initial speed
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²

For the blue ball, v₀ = 21.8 m/s. Substituting the values:
H = (21.8 m/s)²/2(9.81m/s²)
H = 24.22 m
The maximum height reached by the blue ball is 24.22 m + 0.9 = 25.12 m.

2. For this, you equate the y values of both balls:

y for red ball = y for blue ball
v₀t + 0.5gt² = v₀t + 0.5gt²
(10.4 m/s)t + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(t²) + 26.6 m = (21.8 m/s)t + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(t²) + 0.9 m
Solving for t, 
t = 2.25 seconds

Thus, the two balls would be at the same height after 2.25 seconds.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a. 41.96ft/s

b. 1.096s

Explanation:

a. v²=u²+2gs

v²=31²+2×10×40

V=41.96ft/s

b. t=(v-u) /g

t=(41.96-31)/10

t=1.096s

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?
Tcecarenko [31]
The weight of the meterstick is:
W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance 
d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm
from which we find the value of d2:
d_2 =  \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.

How do you make a mirages?​
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

when the ground is very hot and the air is cool.

Explanation:

The hot earth warms a layer of air right above the ground. Light is refracted as it passes through the cool air and onto the hot air sheet (bent). A coating of very warm air near the earth bends the light from the sky almost into a U-shaped bend.
