A ball thrown vertically is caught by the thrower after 5.1s. Find the maximum height the ball reaches.

Physics

Answer:

h = 31.9 m

Explanation:

Since, the ball took 5.1 s in the air. Hence, the time to reach maximum height will be equal to the half of this value:

t = 5.1 s /2 = 2.55 s

Now, we use 1st equation of motion between the time of throwing and the time of reaching maximum height:

Vf = Vi + gt

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, ball momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

g = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

Therefore,

0 m/s = Vi + (-9.8 m/s²)(2.55 s)

Vi = 24.99 m/s

Now, we use second equation of motion for height (h):

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

h = (24.99 m/s)(2.55 s) + (0.5)(-9.8 m/s²)(2.55 s)²

h = 63.7 m - 31.8 m

<u>h = 31.9 m</u>

How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?
san4es73 [151]

Frost will disturb the smooth flow of air over the wing, unpleasantly distressing its lifting competence. In other words, this spoils the even flow of air over the wings, by this means decreasing lifting capability. Also, frost may avoid the airplane from becoming flying at normal departure speed.

A 77.0 kg woman slides down a 42.6 m long waterslide inclined at 42.3. at the bottom, she is moving 20.3 m/s.how much work did f
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

5.791244495 KNm

Explanation:

The height h is given by, h=42.6sin42.3^{o}

Potential energy, PE is given by

PE=mgh where m is mass of the woman, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as 9.81 m/s^{2} and h is already given hence substituting 77 Kg for m we obtain

PE=77*9.81*42.6sin42.3^{o}=21656.7095 Nm

PE=21.6567095 KNm

We also know that Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2} where v is the velocity and substituting v for 20.3 we obtain

KE=0.5*77*20.3^{2}=15865.465 Nm

KE=15.865465 KNm

Friction work is the difference between PE and KE hence

Friction work=21.6567095 KNm-15865.465 Nm=5.791244495 KNm
