A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 25.0 m tall building. The ball’s initial speed is 12.0 m/sec. At the same instant, a p

erson is running on the ground at a distance of 31.0 m from the building. What must be the average speed of the person if he is to catch the ball at the bottom of the building?

<h2>Person must have 8.18 m/s to catch the ball</h2>

Explanation:

Consider the vertical motion of ball

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Initial velocity, u = 12 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = -25 m

Substituting

             -25 = 12 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

               4.905 t² -12t - 25 = 0

              t = 3.79 sec

Ball hits ground after 3.79 seconds.

So person need to cover 31 m in 3.79 seconds

Consider the horizontal motion of person

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Initial velocity, u = ?

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Displacement, s = 31 m

Time, t = 3.79 seconds

Substituting

             31 = u x 3.79 + 0.5 x 0 x 3.71²

               u = 8.18 m/s

Person must have 8.18 m/s to catch the ball

The average force of a baseball is 18.9 N . It’s mass is 0.145kg fine the acceleration in m/s^2
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the acceleration is 130.3m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Force F= 18.9N

Mass of ball m= 0.145kg

Acceleration a=?

Applying the Newton's second law of motion

"The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the external force".

F=ma

a= F/m

a= 18.9/0.142

a= 130.3m/s²

Someone help me! you get 27 points if you get it right
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. D

2. D

3. A

The reason why your body goes right and the car car goes left is because your body tries to stay where it was, which is on the right. Your upper body doesn't feel a force and because of that continues in the same direction. Your lower half is pulled out from under you by seat friction to the left, leaving you leaning to the right.

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be \frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So Q=450j

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency \eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine =\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171

Efficiency of Carnot engine is \eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171
