Ancient civilizations had a high demand for raw materials, like clay, diverse rocks and, most of all, metals. These were required for buildings, crafts, agriculture, their armed forces, financial concerns, art and culture. Clays and rocks produced by opencast mining primarily served for the production of bricks and building blocks, which were used for civil and hydraulic engineering.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Approximately how much time does it take the ball to travel from the release loc
zvonat [6]

I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s.  Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.

So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.

Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip.  After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it.  In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.

(a) Write the energy equation for an elastic collision. (b) For an inelastic collision.
velikii [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

(a) Elastic collision: When there is no loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be elastic collision.

In case of elastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is conserved and all the forces are conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The kinetic energy of the system before collision = the kinetic energy after the collision

(b) Inelastic collision: When there is some loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be inelastic collision.

In case of inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is not conserved, the total mechanical energy is conserved and all the forces or some of the forces are non conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The total mechanical energy of the system before collision = total mechanical of the system after the collision

How much force is required to move a tractor 60m, when using 250J of work?
lianna [129]

Answer:

Work done,W= 250J

Displacement , s = 60

We know that, Work done = Force x displacement

i.e , W = Fxs

250 J = F x 60m

F = 250/60

=4.16 N

Hence , 4.16 N of Force is applied on the body.

suppose the same chest is at rest. you push it horizontally with force of 110N but it does not budge. What is the contact force
Radda [10]

Answer:

110 N

Explanation:

When a force is applied on a body and body does not move, it means the body remains at rest.

In this condition, there is a contact force between the body and the floor which is called static friction.

Th static friction force is a self adjusting force and comes into play when the body is at rest.

Here, the applied force is 110 N and the chest is not moving, that means a static friction force is acting between the chest and the floor. This static friction force is the force of contact between the chest and the floor. The static friction force is equal to the applied force when the body does not move.

So, the contact force between the chest and the floor is 100 N.
