A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof 1.15 s later. Ignor

e air resistance.
a) If the height of the building is 19.6 m, what must the initial speed of the first ball be if both are to hit the ground at the same time
b) what must the height of the building for both balls to reach the groung at the same time if the initial velocity of the first ball is now 8.6 m/s​

Answer:

a) v₀ = 9.2 m/s

b) y₀ = 7.9 m

Explanation:

The position of the balls is given by the equation:

y =- \frac{1}{2} gt^2 + v_0 t + y_0

where:

acceleration g = 9.8 m/s²

time t

initial velocity v₀

initial height y₀

a) lets divide (a) in two parts:

1.part: How long will it take the second ball to fall down?

v_0 = 0, y = 0\\0=- \frac{1}{2} gt^2 + y_0\\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

2. part: At time t from part1 + 1.15s, the first ball should land on the ground.

y = 0, y_0 = 19.6, t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}} + 1.15\\ 0 =- \frac{1}{2} gt^2 + v_0t + y_0

This leaves only one unknown: v₀

v_0 =\frac{1}{t}(\frac{1}{2} gt^2 - y_0)\\ v_0 = 9.2 \frac{m}{s}

b)again, lets divide in two parts

1.part: Where will ball1 be relative to ball2 in 1.15s:

t = 1.15s, v_0 = 8.6 m/s\\y= -\frac{1}{2} gt^2 + v_0t + y_0\\ \delta y = y - y_0 =v_0t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2

and how fast will it go:

v' = -gt + v_0

2.part: Now we can plug in to the equation for the position of the two balls. Let's start with the second ball first:

0 = -\frac{1}{2} gt^2 + y_0\\ y_0 = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Now let's use this result in the equation for the first ball:

0 = - \frac{1}{2} gt^2 + v't + y_0 + \delta y = - \frac{1}{2} gt^2 + v't + \frac{1}{2} gt^2 + \delta y\\ 0 = v't + \delta y\\ t =- \frac{\delta y}{v'} \\ y_0 = \frac{1}{2} g(\frac{\delta y}{v'})^2\\ y_0 = 7.9m

Answer:

Explanation:

the block will move to the right side with small velocity because the force from the left side greater than force from right side. Velocity will be less because of friction and gravitational attraction.

Which phrases describe all the outer planets’ motion? Check all that apply.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: slow revolution and fast rotation

Solar system has 8 planets. 4 inner rocky planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars and 4 outer gaseous planets - <u>Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.</u>  The outer planets have few common features.

They are gaseous. There  period of revolution is larger than the inner planets which means that they have slow revolution about the Sun. One day on the outer planets is smaller than the inner planets which means they have fast rotation.

<u>For example,</u> Jupiter has revolves around sun in 11.86 Earth years and rotates about axis in 9.8 Earth hours. Uranus revolves around sun in 84 Earth years and rotates on its axis 17.9 Earth hours.

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

A 53 kg crate is at rest on a level floor, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.36. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

42.6 m

Explanation:

mass of crate m = 53 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.36

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Force, F = 372.098 N

Net force, f = F - friction force

f = 372.098 - μ m x g = 372.098 - 0.36 x 53 x 9.8

f = 185.114 N

acceleration, a = f / m = 185.114 / 53 = 3.49 m/s^2

initial velocity, u = 0

time, t = 4.94 s

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

s = 0 + 1/2 x 3.49 x 4.94 x 4.94

s = 42.6 m
