During the first 5 seconds after a ball is dropped from rest, how far will it fall?

A turtle and a rabbit are in a 150 meter race. The rabbit decides to give the turtle a 1 minute head start. The turtle moves at

yan [13]

Answer:

a) $s_{T} = 30\,m$ , b) $t = 5\,min$ , c) $\Delta t = 6.667\,s$ , d) $\Delta s_{R} = 33.333\,m$ , e) $t' = 11.667\,s$ , f) The rabbit won the race.

Explanation:

a) As turtle moves at constant speed, its position is determined by the following formula:

$s_{T} = v_{T}\cdot t$

Where:

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$v_{T}$ - Velocity of the turtle, measured in meters per second.

$s_{T}$ - Position of the turtle, measured in meters.

Then, the position of the turtle when the rabbit starts to run is:

$s_{T} = \left(0.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (60\,s)$

$s_{T} = 30\,m$

The position of the turtle when the rabbit starts to run is 30 meters.

b) The time needed for the turtle to finish the race is:

$t = \frac{s_{T}}{v_{T}}$

$t = \frac{150\,m}{0.5\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t = 300\,s$

$t = 5\,min$

The time needed for the turtle to finish the race is 5 minutes.

c) As rabbit experiments a constant acceleration until maximum velocity is reached and moves at constant speed afterwards, the time required to reach such speed is:

$v_{R} = v_{o,R} + a_{R}\cdot \Delta t$

Where:

$v_{R}$ - Final velocity of the rabbit, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o,R}$ - Initial velocity of the rabbit, measured in meters per second.

$a_{R}$ - Acceleration of the rabbit, measured in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

$\Delta t$ - Running time, measured in second.

$\Delta t = \frac{v_{R}-v_{o,R}}{a_{R}}$

$\Delta t = \frac{10\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{1.50\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$\Delta t = 6.667\,s$

The time taken by the rabbit to reach maximum speed is 6.667 s.

d) On the other hand, the position reached by the rabbit when maximum speed is reached is determined by the following equation of motion:

$v_{R}^{2} = v_{o,R}^{2} + 2\cdot a_{R}\cdot \Delta s_{R}$

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{v_{R}^{2}-v_{o,R}^{2}}{2\cdot a_{R}}$

Where $\Delta s_{R}$ is the travelled distance of the rabbit from rest to maximum speed.

$\Delta s_{R} = \frac{\left(10\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(1.50\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta s_{R} = 33.333\,m$

The distance travelled by the rabbit from rest to maximum speed is 33.333 meters.

e) The time required for the rabbit to finish the race can be determined by the following expression:

$t' = \frac{\Delta s_{R}}{v_{R}}$

$t' = \frac{150\,m-33.333\,m}{10\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$t' = 11.667\,s$

The time required for the rabbit from rest to maximum speed is 11.667 seconds.

f) The animal with the lowest time wins the race. Now, each running time is determined:

Turtle:

$t_{T} = 300\,s$

Rabbit:

$t_{R} = 60\,s + 6.667\,s + 11.667\,s$

$t_{R} = 78.334\,s$

The rabbit won the race as $t_{R} < t_{T}$ .

2. Three blocks, A,B and C of mass 2kg. 3kg. 5kg respectively kept side by side with one another are accelerated at 2m/s2 across

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Total mass of combination = 2+3+5 = 10kg.

Acceleration produced = 2m/s^2

hence force =( total mass × acceleration)= (2×10)= 20 N.

Net force on 3kg block = acceleration × mass = (2 × 2 )= 4 N

applied force on 2 kg block = 20N

Force between 2 kg and 3 kg block = (20-4) = 16N. ans

Net force on 3 kg block = 3 × 2 =6N.

Applied force on 3 kg block due to 2 kg block = 16N.

hence, force between 3 kg and 5 kg block = (16-6) = 10N .

answers:-

(a) 20 N

(b) 16N

(c) 10 N

Q9 A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistan

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

(a) 0.613 m

(b) 0.385 m

(c) vₓ = 1.10 m/s, vᵧ = 3.50 m/s

v = 3.68 m/s², θ = 72.6° below the horizontal

Explanation:

(a) Take down to be positive.

Given in the y direction:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 10 m/s²

t = 0.350 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (0.350 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (0.350 s)²

Δy = 0.613 m

(b) Given in the x direction:

v₀ = 1.10 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.350 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (1.10 m/s) (0.350 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.350 s)²

Δx = 0.385 m

(c) Find: vₓ and vᵧ

vₓ = aₓt + v₀ₓ

vₓ = (0 m/s²) (0.350 s) + 1.10 m/s

vₓ = 1.10 m/s

vᵧ = aᵧt + v₀ᵧ

vᵧ = (10 m/s²) (0.350 s) + 0 m/s

vᵧ = 3.50 m/s

The magnitude is:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v = 3.68 m/s²

The direction is:

θ = atan(vᵧ / vₓ)

θ = 72.6° below the horizontal

Celina has a water sample that’s contaminated with salt and microorganisms. Which method should she use to purify the water?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Celina should perform the following method to get pure water:

Boil the water in a pan, as the water boils it changes into gas (water vapours) these vapours should be cooled down through the process of condensation which changes gas into liquid form, Through this process germs would be killed due to high temperature and the salt will remain in the pan as salt has higher boiling point than water,
