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 horse on a carousel is 3.5m from the central axis.A. If the carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s , how long does it take the horse
Kitty [74]

Answer:

a. 15.4 seconds

b. 0.455 m/s

Explanation:

a. The carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s.

This means that it takes the carousel 1 sec to make 0.13 of an entire revolution.

This means that time it will take to make a complete revolution is:

1 / 0.13 = 7.7 seconds

Therefore, the time it will take to make 2 revolutions is:

2 * 7.7 = 15.4 seconds

b. Let us calculate the linear velocity. Angular velocity is given as:

\omega = v / r

where v = linear velocity and r = radius

The radius of the circle is 3.5 m and the angular velocity is 0.13 rev/s, therefore:

0.13 = v / 3.5

v = 3.5 * 0.13 = 0.455 m/s

Linear velocity is 0.455 m/s

What's something that I've done in my life that is related to physics
Allisa [31]

That's a very difficult question to answer, because you give us
no information regarding what you have done in your life. 

We can only assume that you have most likely breathed on occasion,
floated on your back in the ocean, lake or pool, maybe fallen off of a
ladder or out of bed, felt the warmth of the sun on your cheek, seen
a rainbow after a rainshower, heard the sound of thunder during a
summer storm, taken a trip in an airplane, and waited for a cup of
hot chocolate to cool off.  The richness of any of these experiences
is greatly enhanced when you understand some of the Physics involved.

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point
seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}

R = 0.54 m

so the coordinates of the center will be

(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))

(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)
