<span>a) 1960 m b) 960 m Assumptions. 1. Ignore air resistance. 2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is d = 1/2 AT^2 d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 d = 4.9 * 400 m d = 1960 m For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m d = 1960 m - 1000 m d = 960 m</span>

Explain how the basic unit are combined to give the derived units of force, velocity, pressure and work
LuckyWell [14K]

Velocity:

Velocity is change in displacement with respect to time:

\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units, meters (displacement) and seconds (time) are basic units:

\frac{m}{s}

Therefore the unit of velocity is m/s

Force:

Newton's second law of motion:

F = ma

Kilogram (mass) is a basic unit, and accelerations unit can be found using the equation:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

Analysing the units:

\frac{\frac{m}{s}}{s}=\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the unit of force is:

kg\frac{m}{s^2}

Pressure:

Pressure is given by the equation:

P=\frac{F}{S} where S is area of effect, F is force

Area for a basic rectangle (geometric shape is arbitrary for dimensional analysis) is found by multiplying two lengths:

[l^2]=m^2, the unit of area

Dividing the aforementioned unit of force by the unit of area:

\frac{kg\frac{m}{s^2}}{m^2}=\frac{kg}{ms^2}, the unit of pressure

Work:

Work is given by the equation:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{x}, (dot product may be assumed as normal multiplication for the purposes of unit analysis)

Knowing displacement's (x) unit is m:

[W]=\frac{kgm}{s^2}m=\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}, the unit of work.

A ball is dropped from rest at the top of a 6.10 m
natita [175]

Answer:

n = 5 approx

Explanation:

If v be the velocity before the contact with the ground and v₁ be the velocity of bouncing back

\frac{v_1}{v} = e ( coefficient of restitution ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10} }

and

\frac{v_1}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

h₁ is height up-to which the ball bounces back after first bounce.

From the two equations we can write that

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }

e = \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }

So on

e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }\times \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }\times... \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_{n-1} }

(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10} })^n=\frac{2.38}{6.1}= .00396

Taking log on both sides

- n / 2 = log .00396

n / 2 = 2.4

n = 5 approx

Help please:Calculate the mechanical energy of a bird flying at a speed of 10 m / s at an altitude of 15 m. If its mass is 150 g
Sonja [21]

Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Speed (v) = 10 m/s

Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 0.15 (10)^{2} = 7.5 J

Altitude (h) = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725

= 29.5725 J

Student C said, “I don’t agree with either model you drew. I think the Sun goes around Earth. The evidence is that you can see t
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Student c's belief is fulfilled only for the movement of the earth with respect to the sun. But it has no validity or does not exist when it is necessary to explain other physical phenomena with respect to other satellites. For example, how would you explain the phases of the moon, if the Earth is located in the center of the Galaxy?, another serious question regarding the observations made by scientists millions of years ago, where they observed that the distances of the Earth from other planets were changing, with respect to time. If the Earth was in the center, all the planets and the sun would revolve around it preserving a constant distance (radius), at all times.

Other phenomena to explain would be the seasons on Earth, these are due to the axis of inclination of the Earth and the rotation of it around the sun.
