A ball is dropped from the top of a building that is known to be 400 feet high. The formula for finding the height of the ball a

t any time is h=400−16t2, where t is measured in seconds.
How many seconds did it take for the ball to reach a height of 256 feet above the ground?

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Height of the building = 400 feet

Height of the ball from the ground is given by

h=400−16t²

This formula has been derived from

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

u = Initial velocity = 0

t = Time taken

Substituting all the values we get

$s=0t+\frac{1}{2}32t^2\\\Rightarrow s=16t^2$

This is the height of the ball from the top of the building

The height of the ball from the ground will be

h = 400-s

⇒h = 400−16t²

When h = 256 ft

$256=400-16t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{256-400}{-16}}\\\Rightarrow t=3\ s$

Time taken by the ball to reach a height of 256 feet above the ground is 3 seconds

A rock is thrown upward from the level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal ran

marshall27 [118]

Answer

a) For the rock

$\dfrac{v_t^2sin 2\theta}{g} = \dfrac{v_t^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$2sin\thetacos\theta = \dfrac{sin^2\theta}{2}$

$2cos\theta = \dfrac{sin\theta}{2}$

$tan\theta = 4$

$\theta = tan^{-1} 4$

$\theta = 76^0$

b) $\theta = 45^0$ for maximum range

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{(v_tcos 45^0)(2v_tsin 45^0)g}{(v_tcos 76^0)(2v_tsin 76^0)g}$

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{0.707\times 0.707)}{0.97\times 0.242}$

$\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=2.129$

$d_{max}=2.129 d$

c) The value of θ is the same on every planet as g divides out.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Suppose that a public address system emits sound uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections . The intensity a

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}$

Explanation:

The definition of the intensity in terms of power is given by:

$I=\frac{P}{A}$

Where:

P is the power
A is the area

If the sound emits uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections, we can assume the geometry of the wave sound is spherical.

Let's recall the area of a sphere is $A = 4\pi R^{2}$

To the first location we have:

$I_{1}=3*10^{-4} W/m^{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}$

and to the second location we have:

$I_{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}$

Now, we can divide each intensity to find the second intensity.

$\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=\frac{\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}}{\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}}$

$I_{2}=I_{1}* \frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}$

$I_{2}=3*10^{-4}\frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}$

$I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}$

I hope it helps you!
