If a ball is dropped from rest, what is it’s velocity after 4 seconds

Physics
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: -39.2 m/s directed downwards

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equation:

V=V_{o}+gt

Where:

V is the ball's velocity at 4 s

V_{o}=0m/s is the ball's intial velocity, since it was dropped from rest

g=-9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity, aways directed downwards

t=4 s is the time

Solving:

V=0m/s-9.8 m/s^{2}(4 s)

Finally:

V=-39.2 m/s <u>The negative sign indicates the velocity is downwards</u>

bija089 [108]

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration,  C_d is the drag coefficient, \rho is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:

A=\frac{A_s}{2}=\frac{930cm^2}{2}=465cm^2\\465cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{10^4cm^2}=0.0465m^2\\560g*\frac{1kg}{10^3g}=0.56kg

Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is 1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}.

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.56kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}{(1.28\frac{kg}{m^3}(1)(0.0465m^2)}}\\v_t=13.58\frac{m}{s}

Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:

v_f^2=v_o^2+2gh\\v_f=\sqrt{2gh}\\v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5m)}\\v_f=9.9\frac{m}{s}

Can someone check my answers and tell me if their correct?
Otrada [13]

Seven

The magnitude is pointing towards the origin and is at - 20 degrees. The combination makes 160 with the x axis: C answer

Eight

They keep doing this. They use distance where they should use displacement but they use distance to try and fool you. It's a mighty poor practice.

The distance between the start and end points is the displacement. That "distance" is 180*sqrt(25) = 900 . The actual distance should be 180*4 + 180*3 = 720 + 540 = 1260. That's what a car's odometer or a bicycle odometer would read.  the difference is 360.

I really do object to the wording, but what can I do?

Nine

Nine is the same thing as 8.

Displacement = sqrt(400^2 + 80^2)= sqrt(166400) = 408

The actual distance is 400 + 80 = 480

The difference is the answer = 480 - 408 = 72 <<<< Answer

Ten

This is just the displacement magnitude.

dis = sqrt(30^2 + 80^2)

dis = sqrt(900 + 6400)

dis = sqrt(7300)

dis = 85.44 <<<< Answer D

Twelve

Vi =  2.15*Sin(30) = 1.075 m/s

vf = 0

a = - 9.81

t = ?

<u>Formula</u>

a = (vf - vi)/t

<u>Solve</u>

-9.81 =  (0 - 1.075)/t

- 9.81 * t = -1.075

t = 0.11 seconds

Thirteen

I'm leaving this last one to you. You need the initial height xo to answer it properly. Judging by the other questions, this one is right.

Edit

That is a surprise! Really quickly

d = 3.2 m

a = - 9.82

vf = 0

vi = ?

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2*a*d

0 = vi^2 - 2*9.81*3.2

vi = sqrt(19.62*3.2)

vi = 8.0  m/s   But that is the vertical component of the speed

v = vi/sin(25)

v = 8.0/sin(25) = 11

Electrical power companies sell electrical energy
mixer [17]

Heat used by electric heater :

Q = m • c • ∆T

Q = (75 kg)(4200 J/kg°C)(43°C - 15°C)

Q = 8.82 × 10⁶ J

Cost of electrical energy :

Cost = (8.82 × 10⁶ J)/(3.6 × 10⁶ J) • ($ 0.15)

Cost = $ 0.3675

Why doesn’t the moon fall toward the earth and smash into it?
yarga [219]

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.
