Ball A is dropped from the top of a building of height h at the same instant that ball B is thrown vertically upward from the gr

ound. When the balls collide, they are moving n opposite directions, and the speed of A is twice the speed of B. At what height does the collision occur? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) Both balls experience constant acceleration once they are �n flight. Choose a coordinate system with the origin at the ground and the upward direction positive. When the balls collide they are at the same height above the ground.

Answer:

2h / 3

Explanation:

Let after time t , collision occurs

distance covered by A

= 1/2gt²

Let u be the initial velocity with which B was thrown upwards

distance by B

= ut - 1/2 gt²

total distance by A and B

h = ut - 1/2 gt² +  1/2gt²

h = ut

t = h / u

velocity of A after t

= gt

= g x h/u

velocity of B after t

= u - gt

= u - g x h/u

given

g x h/u = 2 (u - g x h/u)

2u² - 2gh = gh

u = \sqrt{\frac{3gh}{2} }

t = h / u

= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{3g} }

Distance covered by A

= 1/2 gt²

= 1/2 x 2h/3

= h/3

Height at which collision occured

= h - h/3

= 2h /3

What will be net force be if net forces are unbalanced?
malfutka [58]

Answer: If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.

In unit-vector notation, what is the net torque about the origin on a flea located at coordinates (-2.0, 4.0 m, -1.0 m) when for
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Torque, \tau=-21i-8j+10k

Explanation:

Given that,

Coordinates, r=(-2i+4j-k)\ m

Force acting on the flea, F=(0i-5j-4k)\ N

Let \tau is the net torque about the origin on a flea. It is given by the following formula :

\tau=r\times F

\tau=(-2i+4j-k)\times (0i-5j-4k)

\tau=\begin{pmatrix}-21&-8&10\end{pmatrix}

\tau=-21i-8j+10k

So, the net torque about the origin on a flea is -21i-8j+10k. Hence, this is the required solution.

Part B
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

What causes diffraction that results in a fuzzy glow around a full moon?
bagirrra123 [75]
Well, that's not actually "diffraction".

The fuzzy edge of the moon, and the added glow that's sometimes seen
around it, are all effects caused by the light passing through air before it
reaches you.

This gives you some idea of why astronomers go to such effort and
expense to get their telescopes above as much of the atmosphere as
possible ... placing all serious observatories on mountaintops, and even
putting telescopes in orbit.  It's all because the air does such a job on the
light that's trying to shine through it.  We have to make do with whatever's
left over after that.
