A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of v0 from a height of h. (a) What is its speed just before it strikes th

e ground? (b) How long does the ball take to reach the ground? What would be the answers to (c) part a and (d) part b if the ball were thrown upward from the same height and with the same initial speed? Before solving any equations, decide whether the answers to (c) and (d) should be greater than, less than, or the same as in (a) and (b).

Answer:

a)   v² = v₀² + 2 g h,  b)   t = v₀/g  (1+ √ (1 + 2gh/ v₀²))

Explanation:

a) This is an exercise that we can solve using conservation of energy.

Starting point. High point

         Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m gh

Final point. Soil

         Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved because there is no friction

         Emo = Em_{f}

         ½ m v₀² + m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = v₀² + 2 g h

b) the time it takes to reach the ground can be calculated with kinematics

let's create a reference frame with positive upward direction

         v = vo - g t

when it reaches the ground it has a velocity v, the initial velocity is downwards v₀ = -v₀

        v = -v₀ - gt

        t = - (v + v₀) / g

we substitute the velocity values ​​calculated in the previous part

        t = - (√(v₀² + 2 g h) + vo) / g

we will simplify the equation a bit

        t = - v₀/g  (1+ √ (1 + 2gh/ v₀²))

c) is now thrown vertically upward with the same initial velocity vo.

   To find the final velocity we use the conservation of energy where the velocity is squared, so it does not matter if it is positive or negative, therefore in this section the value should be the same as in part a

         v = √ (v₀² + 2gh)

d) for this part if there is change since the speed is not squared

     v₀ = v₀

          v = v₀ - gt

          t = (v₀ - v) / g

          t = (v₀ - √(v₀² + 2 g h)) / g

          t = v₀/g   (1 - √(1 + 2gh / v₀²))

Paola can flex her legs from a bent position through a distance of 20.1 cm. Paola leaves the ground when her legs are straight,
makkiz [27]

The third equation of free fall can be applied to determine the acceleration. So that Paola's acceleration during the flight is 39.80 m/s^{2}.

Acceleration is a quantity that has a direct relationship with velocity and also inversely proportional to the time taken. It is a vector quantity.

To determine Paola's acceleration, the third equation of free fall is appropriate.

i.e V^{2} = U^{2} ± 2as

where: V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance covered.

From the given question, s = 20.1 cm (0.201 m), U = 4.0 m/s, V = 0.

So that since Poala flies against gravity, then we have:

V^{2} = U^{2} - 2as

0 = (4)^{2} - 2(a x 0.201)

  = 16 - 0.402a

0.402a = 16

a = \frac{16}{0.402}

  = 39.801

a = 39.80 m/s^{2}

Therefore Paola's acceleration is 39.80 m/s^{2}.

What is the tangent function used to find and what are its units
Verizon [17]
The functions of angles are used to find unknown lengths or angles that can't be measured, in terms of known quantities. The trig functions of angles are ratios of lengths, so they're bare naked numbers without units.

Which of the following takes place in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine?A. A glow plug is used to add enough heat t
erica [24]

Answer:

Fuel oil is mixed with a proper portion of compressed air

Explanation:

A gas turbine has three main part, which are

  • combustion chamber
  • air compressor
  • power turbine

The combustion chamber is responsible for mixing fuel with a proper portion of compressed air.

The air compressor supplies air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion chamber

The power turbine produces the power to drive the air compressor.
