Two physics students are on a balcony 19.6 m above the street. One student throws a ball vertically downward at 14.7 m/s; at the

same instant, the other student throws a ball vertically upward at the same speed. The second balljust misses the balcony on the way down. (a) What is the difference in the two balls' time in the air? (b)What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground? (c) How far apart are the balls 0.8 s after they are thrown?

A ) The first ball:
h = v o * t - g t² / 2
19.6 = 14.7 t + 9.8 t²/2
4.9 t² + 14.7 t - 19.6 = 0
t 1/2 = (-14.7 +/- √216.09+384.16 ) / 9.8 = 9.8/9.8 = 1 s
The second ball:
v = v o - g t
0 = 14.7 - 9.8 t
9.8 t = 14.7
t = 1.5 ( upward )
h = 19.6 + 14.7 - 9.8 * 1.5 = 30.625 m 
30.625 = 9.8 * t²/2
t² = 6.25
t = 2.5 s ( downward )
1.5 s + 2.5 s = 4 s
The difference: 4 s - 1 s = 3 s.
B )  The first ball:
v = v o + g t = 14.7 + 9.8 * 1 = 24.5 m/s
The second ball:
v = g * t = 9.8 * 3 = 24.5 m/s
C )  d 1 = 14.7 * 0.8 + 9.8 * 0.8²/2 = 11.76 + 3.136 = 14.896 m
d 2 = 14.7 * 0.8 - 9.8* 0.8²/2 = 11.76 - 3.136 = 8.624 m 
d 1 + d 2 = 14.896 + 8.624 = 23.52 m

Why does the moon's gravity have a greater effect on the earth's ocean than the sun.
White raven [17]

Answer:

Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²
