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

A particle with mass 1.81*10^-3kg and a charge of 1.22*10^-8C has, at a given instant, a velocity v= (3.0*10^4 m/s)j.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

a = -0.33 m/s² k^

Direction: negative

Explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, we know that;

F = ma

Now, from magnetic fields, we know that;. F = qVB

Thus;

ma = qVB

Where;

m is mass

a is acceleration

q is charge

V is velocity

B is magnetic field

We are given;

m = 1.81 × 10^(−3) kg

q = 1.22 × 10 ^(−8) C

V = (3.00 × 10⁴ m/s) ȷ^.

B = (1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^

Thus, since we are looking for acceleration, from, ma = qVB; let's make a the subject;

a = qVB/m

a = [(1.22 × 10 ^(−8)) × (3.00 × 10⁴)ȷ^ × ((1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^)]/(1.81 × 10^(−3))

From vector multiplication, ȷ^ × ȷ^ = 0 and ȷ^ × i^ = -k^

Thus;

a = -0.33 m/s² k^

If there are 20 Earthworms in a garden that covers 5 square meters, what is the population density of the earthworms?
hodyreva [135]

I think, I do think.. that it is D.

Wouldn't it be simple to divide 5 from 20, that would equal 4.

4 earthworms per square meter.
