A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 37.5 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 80.3 m from the bas

e of the building. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Find the time the ball is in motion. Answer in units of s.

Answer:

t = 2.77 s

Explanation:

The ball in its movement describes a curved line called a semiparabola, therefore two coordinates are required to fix the position at each instant of time, since the movement is performed in the X-Y plane:

Equation of movement of the ball in the X axis

X = v₀x*t   Equation  (1)

Equation of movement of the ball in the Y axis

Y = y₀+ v₀y*t -½ g*t² Equation  (2)

Where

X : horizontal position in meters (m)  

Y : vertical  position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical  position in meters (m)

v₀x :  X-initial speed in m/s  

v₀y :  Y-initial speed in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

t : time to position (X,Y)

Data

y₀ = 37.5 m

v₀y = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

Problem development

The time the ball remains in the air is the same as the ball takes to touch the floor, that is, Y = 0

We apply the Equation (2):

Y = y₀+ (v₀y)*t - (½) g*t²

0 =  37.5 +(0)*t- (1/2)*(g)*t²

0 =  37.5 - (1/2)*(9.8)*t²

(1/2)*(9.8)*t²  = 37.5

t² = (2)(37.5)/(9.8)

t= \sqrt{\frac{2*37.5}{9.8} }

t = 2.77 s

the force of a bag of potatoes on a vegetable stand is 22.5 N down. what is the force of the vegetable stand on the bag of potat
natima [27]

As per Newton's III law we can say that

Force applied by object 1 on object 2 is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the force that object 2 apply on object 1.

So we can say it as

F_{12} = -F_{21}

now here above question is based upon the same

if a bag of vegetables applied a force F = 22.5 N of the surface stand the the same surface will apply same magnitude of force in opposite direction on the vegetables bag

So our answer will be F = 22.5 N (upwards).

PLEASE HURRYYYY!!!<br><br> Explain how you read measurements in a graduated cylinder?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Reading a Graduated Cylinder

Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.....

hope it helps....

4. As Juan is going to take a shower, the soap falls out of the soap dish on to the
LiRa [457]

The coefficient of friction between the soap and the floor is 0.081

If Juan steps on the soap with a force of 493 N, this is her weight, W. This weight also equals the normal reaction on the floor, N.

We know that frictional force F = μN where μ = coefficient of friction between soap and floor.

So, μ = F/N

Since F = 40 N and N = W = 493 N,

μ = F/N

μ = 40 N/493 N

μ = 0.081

So, the coefficient of friction between the soap and the floor is 0.081
