A kid throws a ball from a tower 45 meters tall how fast is the ball going when it hits the ground?

Physics

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:

29.69 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 45 m

Velocity (v) =...?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity with which the ball hits the ground. This is illustrated below:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Final velocity (v) =.?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3.03)

v = 0 + 29.694

v = 29.694 ≈ 29.69 m/s

Therefore, the ball hits the ground with a velocity of 29.69 m/s.

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?
Schach [20]
<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>

A force of 25N acts on a mass of 5.0kg, initially at rest. Calculate the distance travelled before achieving a velocity of 20m/s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

40m

Explanation:

let's calculate the acceleration first

force = mass × acceleration

rearranging to find acceleration:

acceleration = force ÷ mass

force = 25N, mass = 5.0kg

acceleration = 25 ÷ 5 = 5ms^-2

we can now use the formula v^2 = u^2 + 2as where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration and s = distance

rearranging v^2 = u^2 + 2as the distance is

s = (v^2 - u^2) ÷ 2a

v = 20, u = 0, a = 5

s = (20^2 - 0^2) ÷ (2 × 5) = 40m

the distance is 40m

Which medium caused the most bending of light as it passed through?
babunello [35]
I wasn't there observing the experiment while you and your class
performed it, so I don't really know how it was set up, or what
happened. 

But I can tell you this:  Light doesn't bend while passing through
any medium.  It only bends at the boundary where one medium
meets a different one.
