Answer:

v=10.78 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The student estimates that the apple traveled 1.1 seconds straight down to the ground. We need to find the maximum velocity of the apple before it hit the ground. The initial velocity of the apple is equal to 0 as it was at rest. It will move under the action of gravity.

Using equation of motion to find it as follows :

v=u+at

a = g

⇒v=gt

v=(9.8 m/s²) × (1.1 s)

v = 10.78 m/s

So, the maximum velocity of the apple is 10.78 m/s.

A hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 10 m/s and is 74 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) H

Reika [66]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s

b) vf = 39.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 10 m/s

h = 74 m

g = 9.81 m/s

t = ? time to reach the ground

vf = ? final speed

a) h = vot + (1/2)gt²

74 = 10t + (1/2)9.81t²

4.9t² + 10t -74 = 0 solve by using quadratic formula

t = (-b ± √ (b² -4ac) / 2a

t = (-10 ± √ (10² -4(4.9(-74) / 2(4.9)

t = (-10 ± √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

t1 = (-10 + √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81 t2 = (-10 - √ 1550.4 ) / 9.81

t1 = (-10 ± 39.38 ) / 9.81 t2 = (-10 - 39.38) / 9.81

t1 = 2.99 s ≈ 3 s t2 = is negative then is wrong there are

no negative times.

b) Formula vf = vo + gt

vf = 10 + (9.81)(3)

vf = 10 + 29.43

vf = 39.43 m/s

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.

(1 pt) A bucket of water of mass 20 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 35 meters above the ground. This takes 14

Elenna [48]

Answer:

w = 5832.372 Joules

Explanation:

Mass of water, m = 20 kg

The water was pulled up to a height of 35 meters, i.e. h = 35 m

It takes 14 minutes to pull up the water through the height, 35 m

speed = distance/ time = 35/14 = 2.5 m/min

The bucket's height, y = speed * time = 2.5t meters

6 kg of water drips out of the bucket throughout the 14 minutes

The rate at which the water drips drips out = (6/14) = 0.4286 kg/min

Mass of water that drips out in time, t = 0.4286t kg

The mass of water remaining = (20 - 0.4286t) kg

Change in Workdone, Δw = mgΔy

Δy = 2.5 Δt

Δw = mg * 2.5 Δt

dw = (20 - 0.4286t)g2.5 dt

integrating both sides

dw = (50g - 1.07gt)dt

$w = \int\limits^a_b {(50g-1.07gt)} \, dx$ where b = 0, a = 14

w = 50gt - 1.07g(t²)/2 g = 9.8 m/s²

w = 490t - 5.243t²

w = (490*14 - 5.243*14²) - (490*0 - 5.243*0²)

w = 6860 - 1027.628

w = 5832.372 Joules
