Answer:

Actually, surface tension is the to force per unit length. That means formula for surface tension is = force/length . As we know that the dimensional formula for length is L . And that for force is MLT^-2. So the dimensional formula for surface tension can be obtained by dividing the dimensional formula of force and length.

Throw two balls from the same height at the same time at an initial speed of 20 m/s. One is thrown vertically down, while the ot

labwork [276]

The time difference between their landing is 2.04 seconds.

<h3>Time of difference of the two balls</h3>

The ball thrown vertical upwards will take double of the time taken by the ball thrown vertically downwards.

Time difference, = 2t - t = t

t = √(2h/g)

where;

h is the height of fall
g is acceleration due to gravity

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

¹/₂mv² = mgh

h = v²/2g

where;

v is speed of the ball

h = (20²)/(2 x 9.8)

h = 20.41 m

<h3>Time of motion</h3>

t = √(2 x 20.41 / 9.8)

t = 2.04 s

Thus, the time difference between their landing is 2.04 seconds.

What is the force on a 15.5 kg ball that is falling freely due to the pull of gravity

velikii [3]

Answer:

151.9 N

Explanation:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 (you should memorize this number).

F = ma

F = (15.5)(9.8)

F = 151.9

In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 12.0m/s at a 40.0? angle from the horizontal.

HACTEHA [7]

A) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

B) Horizontal range: 16.38 m

C) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

D) Horizontal range: 16.07 m

E) The angle that gives the maximum range is $41.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The motion of the shot is a projectile motion, so we can analyze separately its vertical motion and its horizontal motion.

The vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find the time of flight:

$s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$ (1)

where

s = -1.80 m is the vertical displacement of the shot to reach the ground (negative = downward)

$u_y = u sin \theta$ is the initial vertical velocity, where

u = 12.0 m/s is the initial speed

$\theta=40.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

$u_y=(12.0)(sin 40.0^{\circ})=7.7 m/s$

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity (downward)

Substituting the numbers, we get

$-1.80 = 7.7t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-7.7t-1.80=0$

which has two solutions:

t = -0.21 s (negative, we ignore it)

t = 1.778 s (this is the time of flight)

The horizontal motion is instead uniform, so the horizontal range is given by

$d=u_x t$

where

$u_x = u cos \theta=(12.0)(cos 40^{\circ})=9.19 m/s$ is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.778 s is the time of flight

Solving, we find

$d=(9.19)(1.778)=16.34 m$

In this second case,

$\theta=42.5^{\circ}$

So the vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 42.5^{\circ})=8.1 m/s$

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

$4.9t^2-8.1t-1.80=0$

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.851 s

The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 42.5^{\circ})=8.85 m/s$

So, the range of the shot is

$d=u_x t = (8.85)(1.851)=16.38 m$

In this third case,

$\theta=45^{\circ}$

So the vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 45^{\circ})=8.5 m/s$

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

$4.9t^2-8.5t-1.80=0$

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.925 s

The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 45^{\circ})=8.49 m/s$

So, the range of the shot is

$d=u_x t = (8.49)(1.925)=16.34$ m

In this 4th case,

$\theta=47.5^{\circ}$

So the vertical velocity is

$u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 47.5^{\circ})=8.8 m/s$

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

$4.9t^2-8.8t-1.80=0$

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.981 s

The horizontal velocity is

$u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 47.5^{\circ})=8.11 m/s$

So, the range of the shot is

$d=u_x t = (8.11)(1.981)=16.07 m$

From the previous parts, we see that the maximum range is obtained when the angle of releases is $\theta=42.5^{\circ}$ .

The actual angle of release which corresponds to the maximum range can be obtained as follows:

The equation for the vertical motion can be rewritten as

$s-u sin \theta t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0$

The solutions of this quadratic equation are

$t=\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g}$

This is the time of flight: so, the horizontal range is

$d=u_x t = u cos \theta (\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g})=\\=\frac{u^2}{-2g}(1+\sqrt{1+\frac{2gs}{u^2 sin^2 \theta}})sin 2\theta$

It can be found that the maximum of this function is obtained when the angle is

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2gs+u^2}{2gs+2u^2}})$

Therefore in this problem, the angle which leads to the maximum range is

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+(12.0)^2}{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+2(12.0)^2}})=41.9^{\circ}$
