Answer:

37.8 m

Explanation:

At point 0, the ball is at height y₀.

At point 1, the ball is at height 30 m.

At point 2, the ball is at height 0 m.

Given:

y₁ = 30 m

y₂ = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t₂ − t₁ = 1.5 s

Find: y₀

Use constant acceleration equation.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluate at point 1.

y₁ = y₀ + v₀ t₁ + ½ at₁²

30 m = y₀ + (0 m/s) t₁ + ½ (-10 m/s²) t₁²

30 = y₀ − 5t₁²

Evaluate at point 2.

y₂ = y₀ + v₀ t₂ + ½ at₂²

0 m = y₀ + (0 m/s) t₂ + ½ (-10 m/s²) t₂²

0 = y₀ − 5t₂²

y₀ = 5t₂²

Substitute:

y₀ = 5 (1.5 + t₁)²

y₀ = 5 (2.25 + 3t₁ + t₁²)

y₀ = 11.25 + 15t₁ + 5t₁²

30 = 11.25 + 15t₁ + 5t₁² − 5t₁²

30 = 11.25 + 15t₁

t₁ = 1.25

30 = y₀ − 5t₁²

30 = y₀ − 5(1.25)²

y₀ ≈ 37.8

Speed is velocity in a given direction<br> O True<br> O False
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Velocity = speed with direction.

Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.

Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.

Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.

What will be the change in velocity of a 850kg car if a force of 50,000 N
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

29.412m/s

Explanation:

F=ma where F= force, m= mass, and a=acceleration

we also know that,

a = Δv / t where Δv = change in velocity and t = time

thus F = m ( Δv / t)

50000=850(\frac{v}{0.5})

\frac{50000}{1700}= Δv

29.412m/s=Δv

Jerry is conducting an experiment to test friction. His setup is shown below. If he wants to test the friction between different
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the setup which as been attached below. The setup shows/determines/tests the friction of wood (which is a block material), since Jerry wants to test the friction between different types of materials, he will have to replace the wooden block with another type of block material of choice so as to determine the friction of that also.

In order to have a comprehensive experiment, Jerry can use 4-5 different types of block material in the course of the experiment.
