You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon

from rest. A second balloon is thrown downward by your friend 2.6 s later with an initial speed of 50.96 m/s. They hit the ground simultaneously. How high is the apartment house? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Neglect air resistance.

Answer:

74.529 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

For first ball

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.9t^2\ m

For second ball

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=50.96\times (t-2.6)+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (t-2.6)^2\\\Rightarrow s=25.48t-99.372+4.9t^2

As the displacement is equal

25.48t-99.372+4.9t^2=4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{99.372}{25.48}\\\Rightarrow t=3.9\ s

s=4.9\times 3.9^2=74.529\ m

So, height of the building is 74.529 m

AleksAgata [21]
One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

Tim's car breaks down just down the street from his house. he and his friends decide to try to push it to his house. using newto
daser333 [38]
Pushing a broke down car, even done by more than one person, is difficult especially if the distance to be covered is quite far. A car is heavy and it requires a lot of force to start the car moving. This is because the inertia of the car to remain at rest is great. Additionally, the force applied in pushing the car must be greater than the frictional force to cause it to accelerate. The frictional force is dependent on the mass of the object which means that the frictional force acting on the car is also great. Finally, with every push of the car, the frictional force will always be present and acting on the opposite direction. The push that will be supplied must be sustained all throughout.

On Planet Y, which has no air, a dropped object falls 9 m in 3 seconds. What is g, the acceleration due to gravity, on that plan
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Explanation:

Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":

yf - yi = 1/2 a  t^2

using the information provided this equation becomes:

9 = 1/2 a (3)^2

solve for a:

9 * 2 / 9 = a

then a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

A car moves round a circular track of radius 0.3m of two revolution per/sec find its angular velocity.
Pie

Answer:

the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular track, r = 0.3 m

number of revolutions  per second made by the car, ω = 2 rev/s

The angular velocity of the car in radian per second is calculated as;

From the given data, we convert the angular velocity in revolution per second to radian per second.

\omega = 2 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 4\pi \ rad/s = 12.568 \ rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.
