Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

An object is said to be in stable equilibrium if its potential energy is minimum and the force acting on the object is zero.

When the base of an object is too broad so that the vertical line passing through its centre of gravity line passes though this base, it is said to be in stable equilibrium. \

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Answer:b

Explanation:

Object will be stable if its center of gravity lies over its base of support.

If the center of gravity is above the center of buoyancy then it provides positive righting moment and the object floats over the liquid and such object is said to possess positive meta-centric height.

You shoot an arrow into the air. Two seconds later (2.00 s) the arrow has gone straight upward to a height of 35.0 m above its l

sdas [7]

This question can be solved by using the equations of motion.

a) The initial speed of the arrow is was "9.81 m/s".

b) It took the arrow "1.13 s" to reach a height of 17.5 m.

We will use the second equation of motion to find out the initial speed of the arrow.

$h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\$

where,

vi = initial speed = ?

h = height = 35 m

t = time interval = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$35\ m = (v_i)(2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ s)^2\\\\v_i(2\ s)=19.62\ m\\\\v_i = \frac{19.62\ m}{2\ s}$

vi = 9.81 m/s

To find the time taken by the arrow to reach 17.5 m, we will use the second equation of motion again.

$h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\$

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 17.5 m

vi = initial speed = 9.81 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

$17.5 = (9.81)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2\\4.905t^2+9.81t-17.5=0$

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get:

t = -3.13 s (OR) t = 1.13 s

Since time can not have a negative value.

Therefore,

t = 1.13 s

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

nordsb [41]

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are hight and initial velocity

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the ball strike the ground, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s
