A ball is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a bridge 22.0 m high with an initial speed of 16.0 m/s. The ball falls all t

he way down and strikes the water below. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the ball just before it strike the water.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion. We will start calculating the maximum height with the given speed, and once the total height of fall is obtained, we will proceed to calculate with the same formula and the new height, the speed of fall.

The expression to find the change in velocity and the height is,

$v_f^2-v_0^2 = -2gh$

Replacing,

$0^2-16^2 = -2(9.8)h$

$h = 13.0612m$

Thus the total height reached by the ball is

H = 22m+13.0612m

H = 35.0612m

Now calculate the velocity while dropping down from the maximum height as follows

$v_f^2-v_0^2 = 2gh$

Substituting the new height,

$v_f^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.8)(35.0612)$

$v = \sqrt{687.2}$

$v = 26.2145m/s$

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

$x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}$

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

$1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours$

Each of the following diagrams shows a spaceship somewhere along the way between Earth and the Moon (not to scale); the midpoint

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3$

Where $F_i$ represent the force for each of the 5 cases $i -1,2,3,4,5$ presented on the figure attached.

Explanation:

For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem

We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.

Th formula is given by:

$F = G \frac{m_{Earth} m_{Spaceship}}{r^2}$

Where G is a constant $G = 6.674 x10^{-11} m^2/ (ks s^2)$

$m_{Earth}$ represent the mass for the earth

$m_{spaceship}$ represent the mass for the spaceship

$r$ represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship

For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.

Based on this case we can create the following rank:

$F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3$

Where $F_i$ represent the force for each of the 5 cases $i -1,2,3,4,5$ presented on the figure attached.
