Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c

ontinues to fall with zero initial velocity. What horizontal speed vx must the ball on the left start with so that it hits the ground at the same position as the ball on the right? Express your answer in meters per second to two significant figures.

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us  find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.

10. According to Newton's First Lawy , if a box is pushed with no external resistance, what will the action of the box be ?
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.

A 20-lb force acts to the west while an 80-lb force acts 45° east of north. The magnitu 80 lb 70 lb 067 lb 100 lb
natulia [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

force act on west  = 20 lb

force act at 45° east of north = 80 lb

magnitude of force = ?

∑ F y  =  80 cos 45⁰

    F y =  56.57 lb

magnitude of forces in x- direction

∑ F x = -20 + 80 sin 45⁰

        = 36.57 lb

net force

F = \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

F = \sqrt{56.57^2+36.57^2}

F = 67.36 lb≅ 67 lb

hence, the correct answer is option C
