If an object is dropped from a height of meters, the velocity (in ) at impact is given by v= √2gh , where g=9.8m/sec^2 is the ac

celeration due to gravity.
Required:
a. Determine the impact velocity for an object dropped from a height of 10 m.
b. Determine the height required for an object to have an impact velocity of 26.8 m/sec (~ 60 mph). Round to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answer:

A.) V = 14 m/s

B.) h = 36.6 m

Explanation:

Given the formula v = √2gh

where g = 9.8m/sec^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

A.) Determine the impact velocity for an object dropped from a height of 10 m.

Substitute height h in the given formula

V = √2gh 

V = √2 × 9.8 × 10

V = √196

V = 14 m/s

b. Determine the height required for an object to have an impact velocity of 26.8 m/sec (~ 60 mph). Round to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Substitute the velocity in the given formula and make height h the subject of formula.

26.8 = √2 × 9.8 × h

Square both sides

718.24 = 19.6h

h = 718.24 / 19.6

h = 36.64 m

h = 36.6 m

Is it possible for a baseball to have as large a momentum as a much more massive bowling ball
kirza4 [7]
Yes it is possible. Momentum is calculated by the mass of the object times its velocity.
For example, say a bowling ball weighs 3.0kg and is travelling at a speed of 3.0m/s. Its momentum would be 3.0×3.0=9.0 kg·m/s.
Now say we have a baseball weighing 0.20kg and it is travelling at a speed of 47.0m/s. Its momentum would be 0.20×47.0=9.4 kg·m/s, which is more than that of the bowling ball.

Where are the physics in football
sasho [114]

Answer:

The branch of physics that is most relevant to football is mechanics, the study of motion and its causes.

Explanation:

When the ball leaves the punter's foot, it is moving with a given velocity (speed plus angle of direction) depending upon the force with which he kicks the ball. The ball moves in two directions, horizontally and vertically. Because the ball was launched at an angle, the velocity is divided into two pieces: a horizontal component and a vertical component.

a runner covers the last straigjt stretch of a race in 4 s. during that time, he speeds up from 5m/s to 9m/s.
PtichkaEL [24]

During that final period of time,
his acceleration is
                                (9 m/s - 5 m/s) / (4 sec) = 1 m/s² .

Describe the movement of air over 2 nearby land areas, one of which is heated more than the other.
77julia77 [94]
In this case, the air from the warm area will always start moving towards the colder areas because as the temperature in both lands should be equal. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics.
