The total distance travelled by the ball after the fourth impact is 275 feet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Height, h = 100 feet

Rebounds half the distance

Distance in feet for the fourth time, x = ?

For the first time, the distance travelled by the ball is, x = 100 feet

For the second time, it will bounce up to 50 feet and fall upto 50 feet( half of 100 feet)

So, the distance travelled after the second impact, x = 100 + 50 + 50 = 200 feet

For the third time, it will bounce up to 25 feet and fall upto 25 feet( half of 50 feet)

So, the distance travelled after the third impact, x = 200 + 25 + 25 = 250 feet

For the fourth time, it will bounce up to 12.5 feet and fall upto 12.5 feet( half of 25 feet)

So, the distance travelled after the fourth impact, x = 250 + 12.5 + 12.5 = 275 feet

Therefore, total distance travelled by the ball after the fourth impact is 275 feet.

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m = 940 kg , are launched into circular orbits around the Earth's center. Satellite

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The required work done is $6.5\times10^{9}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of each satellites = 940 kg

Altitude of A = 4500 km

Altitude of B = 11100 km

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of potential

$U_{A}=-\dfrac{Gm_{A}m_{E}}{r_{A}}$

Put the value into the formula

$U_{A}=-\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times940\times5.98\times10^{24}}{6.38\times10^{6}+4.50\times10^{6}}$

$U_{A}=-3.44\times10^{10}\ J$

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of potential

$U_{B}=-\dfrac{Gm_{B}m_{E}}{r_{A}}$

Put the value into the formula

$U_{B}=-\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times940\times5.98\times10^{24}}{6.38\times10^{6}+11.10\times10^{6}}$

$U_{B}=-2.14\times10^{10}\ J$

We need to calculate the value of $k_{A}$

Using formula of $k_{A}$

$k_{A}=-\dfrac{1}{2}U_{A}$

Put the value into the formula

$k_{A}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times3.44\times10^{10}$

$k_{A}=1.72\times10^{10}\ J$

We need to calculate the value of $k_{B}$

Using formula of $k_{B}$

$k_{B}=-\dfrac{1}{2}U_{B}$

Put the value into the formula

$k_{B}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.14\times10^{10}$

$k_{B}=1.07\times10^{10}\ J$

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=\Delta K+\Delta U$

$W=(k_{B}-k_{A})+(U_{B}-U_{A})$

$W=(-\dfrac{U_{B}}{2}+\dfrac{U_{A}}{2})+(U_{B}-U_{A})$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}(U_{B}-U_{A})$

Put the value into the formula

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(-2.14\times10^{10}+3.44\times10^{10})$

$W=6.5\times10^{9}\ J$

Hence, The required work done is $6.5\times10^{9}\ J$

A block with a weight of 3.0 N is at rest on a horizontal surface.A 1.0 N upward force is applied to the block by means of an at

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

weight of block $W=3\ N$

A force is of $F=1 N$ is applied on the block

As 1 N is less than weight of block so block exert Force less than its weight

$F_{net}=mg-F$

$F_{net}=3-1=2\ N$

So Block exert a force of 2 N downward on floor

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of an apple, m = 1.5 kg

The apple falls for 2.75s before striking the ground.

We need to find how far the apple dropped before hitting the ground. It means we need to find the distance covered. Using the second equation of motion to find it :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

u is initial velocity, u = 0 (at rest)

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times (2.75)^2\\\\=37.81\ m$

So, Apple dropped 37.81 m before hitting the ground.
