Answer : The actual velocity of the ping-pong ball is, 5 m/s

Explanation :

Using Pythagorean theorem :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2

The diagram is shown below.

From the diagram we conclude that,

AB = 4 m/s

BC = 3 m/s

AC = ?

(AC)^2=(BC)^2+(AB)^2

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

(AC)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2

AC=5m/s

Therefore, the actual velocity of the ping-pong ball is, 5 m/s

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily descending at a speed of 1.01 m/s, you accidentally drop your cell phone?
mote1985 [20]

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily at a speed of 1.01 m/s, and your phone accidentally falls.

<span>(a)    </span>The speed of your phone after 4 s is:

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(4)

V= 40.21 m/s

<span>(b)   </span>The balloon is ____ far:

V = u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(1)

V=10.81 –distance at 1 one second

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(2)

V= 20.61-distance at 2 seconds

V= u+ at

V= 30.41- distance at 3 seconds

V= 40.21- distance at 4 seconds

D= 102.04 m

<span>(c)    </span>If the balloon is rising steadily at 1.01 m/s:

V= -1.1 m/s

<span> </span>
