From what height should you drop a ball so that it hits the ground at 40 m/s? How long will it take to hit the ground?

Physics

Ksenya-84 [330]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

It is given that,

A ball hits the ground at 40 m/s

Let h is the height from where you drop a ball. It is based on the conservation of energy as :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\\text{Putting all the values in above formula}\\\\h=\dfrac{40^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=81.63\ m

It is dropped from a height of 81.63 m.

Let it take t seconds to hit the ground. When it hits the ground, its final speed, v = 0 and u = 40 m/s. So,

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=(\dfrac{2h}{g})^{1/2}\\\\t=(\dfrac{2\times 81.63}{9.8})^{1/2}\\\\t=4.08\ s

So, it will take 4.08 seconds to hit the ground.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this phrase mean in Physics?
Trava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Term "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" is derived from Newton's third law of motion.

This can be explained by an example of a block placed on the flat surface.

The weight of the block applies an action force on the surface while Surface applies a reaction force on the block. Action and reaction force applies to different bodies other would have canceled each other. Action and reaction forces are always acting in pairs. The magnitude of reaction force depends upon the action forces as both of them are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

A rock has a mass of 3.1 kg. What is its weight on earth
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

W = 30.38 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a rock, m = 3.1 kg

We need to find the weight of the rock on the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

W = 3.1 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 30.38 N

So, the weight of the rock on the Earth is 30.38 N.

When a quantity of monatomic ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of 4.00×104pa, the volume of the gas increases from 2.00×1
Semmy [17]
Yes that is correct. We know this because 4.00 x 10 4 Pa is constant. If you have 2.00×10−3m3 then you do the following: (2.00×10^−3)(4.00×10^<span> 4) = </span>8.00×10^−3. That is how you get your answer
