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

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Q=977216.256\ J=977.216\ kJ

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of  steam, m=384\ g
  • temperature of steam, T_{is}=100^{\circ}C
  • temperature of resultant water, T_{fw}=31^{\circ}C

We have,

  • latent heat of vapourization of water, L=2256\ J.g^{-1}
  • specific heat capacity of water, c=4.186\ J.g^{-1}

<em>When we cool the steam of 100°C then firstly it loses its latent heat to convert into water of 100°C and the further cools the water.</em>

<u>Now the heat removed from steam to achieve the final state of water:</u>

\rm Q=latent\ heat\ of\ vapourization+sensible\ heat\ of\ water

Q=m(L+c.\Delta T)

Q=384(2256+4.186\times (100-31))

Q=977216.256\ J=977.216\ kJ

Two technicians are discussing electromagnetic induction. Technician A says that the induced voltage can be increased if the spe
Inga [223]

Answer:Both

Explanation:

There are three ways to increase the induced voltage in electromagnetic induction:

1) increase the speed at which the conductor moves through the magnetic field. This means that the lines of flux are cut more quickly and more emf is induced.

2) use stronger magnets which provides a stronger magnetic field and more densely packed lines of flux.

3) use a coil of multiple loops.

Hence both technicians were correct.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The answer is 0.8 m

Explanation:

According the attached diagram, if we take the momentum in the point 0:

\frac{m_{D}*5.1 }{2} =m_{J} *X

Where

mD = mass of Diane = 64.2 kg

mJ = mass of Jack = 93.6 kg

Replacing:

X=\frac{\frac{64.2*5.1}{2} }{93.6} =1.75m

\frac{L}{2} -X=Y=\frac{5.1}{2} -1.75\\Y=0.8m

Take for example driving by with a cake in your hand, then dropping it while going 30 mph. It will not drop directly down, it will gradually go in the direction you were driving while falling.
This is true I believe, if I'm interpreting correctly.
