While standing on a bridge 15 m above the ground, you drop a stone from rest. When the stone has fallen 3.2 m, you throw a secon

d stone straight down. What initial velocity must you give the second stone if they are both to reach the ground at the same instant?

Answer:

11.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the first stone to fall 3.2 m.

Given:

Δy = 3.2 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(3.2 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.81 s

Next, find the time for the first stone to land.

Given:

Δy = 15 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.75 s

The difference in time is 1.75 s − 0.81 s = 0.94 s.  Find the initial velocity needed for the second stone to land after that amount of time.

Given:

Δy = 15 m

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 0.94 s

Find: v₀

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = v₀ (0.94 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (0.94 s)²

v₀ = 11.3 m/s

If the net external torque acting on the particle is zero, the it satisfies - 1st condition of equilibrium - 2nd condition of eq
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

a) the distances are zero, Both 1st & 2nd condition

c)  the torques are equal but of the opposite sign, 2nd condition of equilibrium

Explanation:

The equilibrium conditions are

1 translational

        ∑ F = 0

2 rotational

        ∑ τ = Σ (F_i x r_i) = 0

They tell us that external torque is zero.

Therefore we have two various possibilities

a) the distances are zero, in this case we have a pure translation movement

    for this situation the two equilibrium relations are fulfilled

b) the forces are zero, there is no movement

    It does not make sense to use the equilibrium relations since there are no forces

c) the torques are equal but of the opposite sign, the forces are on the opposite side of the body.

    In this case the 2 equilibrium relation is fulfilled, but not the first one that the force has the same direction

You are asked to calculate how long a new battery will last on a flashlight when the flashlight is turned on. how long should yo
valina [46]

Answer:

           Depends on the capacity of battery. Mostly our phones flashlight can be used up to 8 to 10hrs continuosly

Explanation:

Capacity of the battery is level to which battery is charged, &  amount of current drawn by the flashlight, you can calculate the answer yourself if u know the capacity of that light.

Moreover you can calculate this by using equation,

         E =Pt

So, for time

      t=E/P

Batteries are rated in Amp hours, like 10 amp hours will supply us 1 amp for 10 hours

2 amps will give us 5 hours

You hold glider A of mass 0.125 kg and glider B of mass 0.375 kg at rest on an air track with a compressed spring of negligible
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

m_A = Mass of glider A= 0.125 kg

m_B = Mass of glider B = 0.375 kg

u_A = Initial Velocity of glider A = 0 m/s

u_B = Initial Velocity of glider B = 0 m/s

v_A = Final Velocity of glider A = 0.6 m/s

v_B = Final Velocity of glider B

As linear momentum is conserved

m_{A}u_{A}+m_{B}u_{B}=m_{A}v_{A}+m_{B}v_{B}\\\Rightarrow v_B=\frac{m_{A}u_{A}+m_{B}u_{B}-m_{A}v_{A}}{m_{B}}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\frac{0+0-0.125\times 0.6}{0.375}\\\Rightarrow v_b=-0.2\ m/s

Magnitude of the glider B at this time is 0.2 m/s
