The initial velocity in the horizontal direction will be positive.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the ball threw off the building, the ball will follow a projectile path with free fall. So the velocity components will split as horizontal and the vertical velocity. The horizontal components of velocity remain same but the vertical velocities vary at rate of 9.8 m/s (approx. 10 m/s) as the ball will be reaching the ground due to free fall.

So gravity will act upon the ball leading to exhibit acceleration due to gravity will falling. Thus with the help of second equation of motion, we can determine the time taken by the ball to reach the ground from a height of 150 m. As the second equation of motion is

                      s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

As the initial velocity of the ball before thrown is zero, u = 0 and as the ball is exhibiting a free fall, so acceleration a will be equal to acceleration due to gravity g. And the displacement performed by the ball will equal to height of the building.

Thus,

                    150=(0 \times t)+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times g \times t^{2}\right)

                    150=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times t^{2}\right)

                    t^{2}=\frac{150 \times 2}{10}=30

Thus, the time taken for crossing the cliff is t = 5.5 s.

Now the distance at which the ball falls far from the base of the building is given as 200 m. So the horizontal velocity with which the ball is thrown can be found as,

                    \text {Horizontal velocity}=\frac{\text {Distance}}{\text {Time}}=36.36 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Thus, the horizontal velocity is positive.

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.

1. A 100-kg crate is pulled across a warehouse floor using a rope with a force of 250 N at an angle of 45o from the horizontal.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

(a) The net force is 80.394 N

    The acceleration of the crate is 0.804 m/s²

(b) the final velocity of the crate is 5.02 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the crate, m = 100 kg

applied force, F = 250 N

angle of inclination, θ = 45°

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.12

Applied force in y-direction, F_y = Fsin \theta = 250sin45 = 176.78 \ N

Applied force in x-direction, F_x = Fcos \theta = 250cos45 = 176.78 \ N

The normal force is calculated as;

N + Fy -W = 0

N = W - Fy

N = (100 x 9.8) - 176.78

N = 980 - 176.78 = 803.22 N

The frictional force is given by;

Fk = μN

Fk = 0.12 x 803.22

Fk = 96.386 N

(a) The net force is given by;

F_{net} = F_x - F_k\\\\F_{net} = 176.78-96.386\\\\F_{net} = 80.394 \ N

Apply Newton's second law of  motion;

F = ma

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}\\\\ a = \frac{80.394}{100}\\\\ a = 0.804 \ m/s^2

(b) the velocity of the crate after 5.0 s

F = ma= \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\Ft =m(v-u)\\\\v-u = \frac{Ft}{m}\\\\ v = \frac{Ft}{m} + u\\\\v = \frac{F_{net}*t}{m} + u\\\\v = \frac{80.394*5}{100} + 1\\\\v = 5.02 \ m/s
