A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a pingpong ball horizontally with a speed v. However, a

wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the pingpong ball a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. This results in the pingpong ball reaching the ground directly under the student.
Determine the height h in terms of v, a, and g. This is a somewhat unphysical problem in that you can ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion, but clearly the wind has a big affect on the horizontal motion.

Answer:

Explanation:

The pingpong ball reaches the ground directly under the student. That means net displacement is zero

Time of fall  t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Initial horizontal velocity = v ,

horizontal acceleration = - a ( deceleration because net displacement is zero)

0 = ut - 1/2 a t²

0 = v\times\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } - \frac{1}{2}a \frac{2h}{g}

v = 1/2 a \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}

h = \frac{2gv^2}{a^2}

Which best describes how energy changes form in a car's engine?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.
