Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255

A ball is thrown straight upward and returns to the thrower’s hand after 1.8 s in the air. A second ball is thrown at an angle o

zysi [14]

Answer:

U = 9.1 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

time (t) = 1.8 s

angle = 23 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

let us first calculate the initial velocity (u) which too the first ball to its maximum height from the equation below

v = u + 0.5at

The final velocity (v) is zero since the ball comes to rest

The time (t) it takes to get to the maximum height would be half the time it is in the air, t = 0.5 x 1.8 = 0.9

therefore

0 = u - (0.5 x 9.8 x 0.9)

u = 7.9 m/s

for the second ball to get to the maximum height of the first ball, the vertical component of its initial velocity (U) must be the same as the initial velocity of the first ball. therefore

U sin 60 = 7.9

U = 7.9 ÷ sin 60

U = 9.1 m/s

If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is

klio [65]

If,

$d \: = \: \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

$h \: = \: \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}$

$= \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}$

$= 9 \: \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}$

$= 9d$

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

A 86 kg human stands on the surface of Venus. The mass of Venus is 4.9 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.1 × 106 m. Collapse questio

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus= $m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg$

Radius= $r=6.1\times 10^6$ m

Mass of human= $m_2=86 kg$

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where G=Gravitational constant= $6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human= $F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}$
