A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v0. At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a heigh

t H, directly above the point where the first ball was thrown upward. There is no air resistance.
a. Find the time at which the two balls collide. Express your answer in terms of the variables H, v0, and appropriate constants.
b. Find the value of H in terms of v0 and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the first ball is at the highest point of its motion. Express your answer in terms of the variables v0 and g.

Answer:

a) t = H/v0

b) H = -(v0)²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

a)The position of the balls can be calculated using the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the ball at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

t = time.

For the ball that is thrown upwards, the initial height is zero, then, the equation can be written as follows:

y = v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

The second ball is initially at a height H and the initial velocity is zero. The equation of height for the second ball will be:

y = H + 1/2 · g · t²

When the two balls collide, their height is the same. Then, equalizing both equations we can obtain the time at which they collide:

v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t² = H + 1/2 · g · t²

v0 · t = H

t = H/v0

b) When the first ball is at the highest point its velocity is zero. Using the equation of velocity we can find the time at which the ball is at that point. The equation of velocity is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

At the highest point v = 0.

0 = v0 + g · t

Solving for t:

-v0/g = t

The time at which the first ball is at the highest point is t = -v0/g

The time at which both balls collide was calculated above:

t = H/v0

Then, equalizing both times and solving for H:

H/v0 = -v0/g

H = -v0/g · v0

H = -(v0)²/g

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor when an elephant who weighs 6000 N stands on one foot which has an area of 20 m2
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

300 Pascal

Explanation:

Given

weight or force (F) = 6000 N

area (A) = 20 m²

pressure (p) = ?

we know

the force acting normally per unit area is pressure. So

P = F / A

= 6000 / 20

= 300 Pascal

Hope it will help :)

A 1.70 m tall woman stands 5.00 m in front of a camera with a 50.00 cm focal
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

18.89cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 5m in front of the camera

d_0=5m=500cm

The focal length of the lens =50cm

f=50 cm

By Lens formula we have:

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{d_o}\\\dfrac{1}{50} = \dfrac{1}{d_i} + \dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i} =\dfrac{1}{50}-\dfrac{1}{500}\\\dfrac{1}{d_i}=0.018\\d_i=55.56cm

By the formula of magnification

\dfrac{h_i}{h_o} = \dfrac{55.56}{500}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{55.56}{500} \times h_o\\\\ h_o=1.70m=170cm\\\\Therefore: h_i=\dfrac{55.56}{500} \times$ 170 cm\\\\h_i =18.89 cm

The height of the image formed is 18.89cm.

Passengers on an airplane move from rest to 86 meters per second before the airplane takes off. If the airplane takes 100 second
VikaD [51]

Utilize the formula:  V _{f} = V _{i} + a\Delta t

V _{f} = Final Velocity (86 m/s)

V _{f} = Initial Velocity (0 m/s)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

\Deltat = Time (100 seconds)

As a result,

86 m/s = 0 + (a)(100 seconds)

Using algebra, divide 86 m/s by 100 seconds:

86 m/s = 100a

a = 0.86 m/s²

Rounded to one decimal place: 0.9 m/s²

Let me know if you have any questions!
