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

Molodets [167]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$x=V_{ox}t$ (2)

$V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt$ (3)

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the bomb's final jeight

$y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m$ is the bomb'e initial height

$V_{oy}=0 m/s$ is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

$t$ is the time

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$x$ is the bomb's range

$V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s$ is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

$V_{f}$ is the bomb's fina velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>b) Time</h3>

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

$y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (6)

$t=17.49 s$ (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity</h3>

Since $V_{oy}=0 m/s$ , equation (3) is written as:

$V_{f}=-gt$ (8)

$V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s)$ (9)

$V_{f}=-171.402 m/s$ (10) The negative sign ony indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range</h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

$x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s)$ (11)

$x=1700.99 m$ (12)

Suppose that the collector is held at a small negative voltage with respect to the grid. Will the accelerated electrons reach th

Leona [35]

Answer:

B) Yes, but only those electrons with energy greater than the potential difference established between the grid and the collector will reach the collector.

Explanation:

In the case when the collector would held at a negative voltage i.e. small with regard to grid So yes the accelerated electrons would be reach to the collecting plate as the kinetic energy would be more than the potential energy that because of negative potential

so according to the given situation, the option b is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong

If the faster stone takes 12.0 s to return to the ground, how long will it take the slower stone to return?

Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.

Answer:

Featured snippet from the web

The atoms and molecules in it are in constant motion. The kinetic energy of such a body is the measure of its temperature. Potential energy is classified depending on the applicable restoring force. Gravitational potential energy – potential energy of an object which is associated with gravitational force
