A ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. Each time it drops h feet, it rebounds 0.81h feet. Find the total distance traveled

by the ball.

The first drop makes the ball travel 16 m.
Then the maximum height decreases to 16 x 0.81
And the distance traveled is twice the distance traveled.
If we make a pattern, this forms a geometric progression in which the common ratio is 0.81 and the first term is 16.
The sum of this series: a / (1 - r)
= 16 ( 1 - 0.81)
= 84 feet
This is the upward height, and the ball returns every time so:
Total distance = 84 x 2
= 168 feet

If the mass of the block is 5 kg and the speed 7 m/s, what is the work done <br> on the block?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A block of mass M = 5 kg is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is 0.2. When a force F = 40N is applied, the acceleration of the block will be then (g=10ms

2 ).

Mass of the block=5kg

Coeffecient of friction=0.2

external applied force, F=40N

The angle at which the force is applied=30degree

So the horizontal component of force=Fcos30=40×

23 =20 3 N

While the uertical component of the force acting in upward direction=Fsin30=40× 21

​ =20N

The normal reaction from the surface (N)=mg−Fsin30=50−20=30N

So the ualue of limiting friction=μN=0.2×30=6N

Hence the net horizontal force on the block=Fcos30=μN=20

3

​

N−6N=28.64N

The horizontal acceleration of the block=

m

Fcos30−μN = 528.64

​  =5.73m/s 2

Boyles law<br> squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?
KiRa [710]
According to Boyle's Law,  volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.

a bullet moving with a velocity of 100m/s pierce a block of wood and moves out with a velocityof 10 m/s.if the thickness of the
erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>

The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em>  has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

W=Fx

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.17 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass
vladimir2022 [97]
The mass of the hoop is the only force which is computed by:F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N 
the slow masses that must be quicker are the pulley, ring, and the rolling sphere. 
The mass correspondent of M the pulley is computed by torque τ = F*R = I*α = I*a/R F = M*a = I*a/R^2 --> M = I/R^2 = 21/2*m*R^2/R^2 = 1/2*m 
The mass equal of the rolling sphere is computed by: the sphere revolves around the contact point with the table. So using the proposition of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is I = 2/5*mR^2 for spin about the midpoint of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m 
the acceleration is then a = F/m = 27.468/(2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2
