Answer:

They both will reach the ground at the same time. it will be a tie

Explanation:

Given

m_1 = 1 lb\\\\m_2 = 100 lb\\\\height,h = 10 ft\\\\

Known

acceleration due to gravity,g = 32.2 ft/s^2\\

Solution

Since the balls are dropped freely, their inital velocity u is zero.

let us find the final velocity of 1 pound ball

v^2=-u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0^2 + 2 \times 32.2 \times 10\\\\v^2 = 196\\\\v = 25.4 ft/s

Note that in the equation is v^2=-u^2 + 2gh the mass of the object has no place. So, The final velocity is independent of the mass

so the final velocity of the 100 pound ball will also be 25.4 ft/s

Now let us find the time taken for the 1 pound ball

v = u + gt\\\\25.4 = 0+ 32.2t\\\\t = 0.788s

Since the equation v = u + gt does not depend on mass, the 100 pound ball will also reach the ground at time t = 0.788 s

NeX [460]

Answer:

(a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity = 110 rev/m

Radius = 4.50 m

(a). We need to calculate the average speed

Using formula of average speed

v=r\omega

v = 4.50\times110\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

v=51.83\ m/s

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero because the net displacement is zero in one revolution.

Hence, (a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

What is light energy
Oliga [24]
Light energy is defined as how nature moves energy at an extremely rapid rate, and it makes up about 99% of the body's atoms and cells, and signal all body parts to carry out their respective tasks. An example of light energy is the movement of a radio signal.

What does a wave do that is so important?
expeople1 [14]
Waves transmit energy without transmitting matter, This means that we can move energy or information from one place to another without moving any substance from one place to another.
