Answer:

1.35 miles

Explanation:

Since the slope is 14% grade = -14/100. This is a negative slope.

The distance of 1000 ft descended is a vertical descent, so assuming our initial position is 0, and Δx is the change in horizontal distance.

tanθ = -14/100 = (0 - 1000)/Δx = - 1000)/Δx

-14/100 = - 1000)/Δx

Δx = -1000 × -100/14= 7142.86 ft

5280 ft = 1 mile

7142.86 ft = 7142.86/5280 miles = 1.353 miles ≅ 1.35 miles

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

v_1 = 0

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

v_2 = 16.2 m/s

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

v_r = 16.2 m/s

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

d = v_r t

6.4 = 16.2 t

t = 0.395 m

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2

h = 5.63 m

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

The weight of a body kept at a distance of 6400 km from the centre of the
Vlad [161]

Answer:

2.5N

Explanation:

since force is inversely proportional to square of the distance apart. that means the ratio of distance apart. so u have 12800×12800÷(6400××6400)=4/1

so the weight will be reduced to 1/4 of 10N

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 =  u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon
