A ball is dropped from an upper floor, some unknown distance above your apartment. As you look out of your window, which is 1.50

m tall, you observe that it takes the ball 0.150 s to traverse the length of the window. 1) Determine how high above the top of your window the ball was dropped. Ignore the effects of air resistance. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)

Answer:

The ball is dropped at a height of 9.71 m above the top of the window.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Height of the window=1.5 m
  • Time taken by ball to cover the window height=0.15

Now using equation of motion in one dimension we have

s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}

Let u be the velocity of the ball when it reaches the top of the window

then

1.5=0.15u+\dfrac{9.8\times0.15^2}{2}\\u=3.96\ \rm m/s\\

Now u is the final velocity of the ball with respect to the top of the building

so let t be the time taken for it to reach the top of the window with this velocity

3.96=gt\\t=0.4\ \rm s\\

Let h be the height above the top of the window

h=\dfrac{gt^2}{2}\\\\h=\dfrac{9.8\times 0.4^2}{2}\\h=9.71\ \rm m

Vince weighs 160 pounds, and his friend Nadir weighs 140 pounds. Nadir calculated that his weight on another planet would be abo
prisoha [69]

Answer:

C) 64lb

Explanation:

use the linearity method to find the weight of nadir on another planet, it is applied as follows.

Nadir Weight in earth ⇒ Nadir weight in another planet

Vince Weigh in eart  ⇒  X

our goal is to find the weight of vince in another planet (X), for this we multiply the diagonal that continents the data and divide among the remaining

140pounds    ⇒   56lb

160pounds    ⇒ X

X=\frac{(160)(56)}{140} =64lb

Vince weigh on the other planet is C) 64lb

8. Il An 8.00 kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Normal force = m g cos 53 = 8 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 53 = 47.1823 N

  no work is done by this force

Force friction = coeff friction * force normal = .4 * 47.1823 = 7.55 N

   work of friction = 7.55 * 2 m = 15.1 j

Force Downplane = mg sin 53 = 62.61  N

    work = 62.61 * 2 = 125.22 j

Net Force downplane =   force downplane - force friction = 55.06 N

net Work = force * distance = 55.06 N * 2 M = 110.12 j
