Answer:

A.) 62.5 ft

B.) 3.58 seconds

C.) 8.58 seconds

Explanation:

A.) Given that a ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building of 60ft with an initial velocity of vA=35 ft/s

To determine how high above the top of the building the ball will go before it stops at B, let us use the third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Since the ball is going up, g will be negative. And at maximum height, V = 0

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 35^2 - 2 × 9.8 × H

19.6H = 1225

H = 1225/19.6

H = 62.5 ft

(B) The time tAB it takes to reach its maximum height will be achieved by using second equation of motion

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Substitutes all the parameters into the formula

62.5 = 35t - 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

62.5 = 35t - 4.9t^2

4.9t^2 - 35t + 62.5 = 0

Let's use quadratic equations to find t

Divide all by 4.9

t^2 - 7.143t + 12.755 = 0

t^2 - 7.143t + 3.57^2 = - 12.755 + 3.57^2

( t - 3.57)^2 = 0.000102

( t - 3.57 ) = +/-( 0.01 )

t = 3.57 + 0.01

t = 3.58 seconds

Ignore the negative one.

(C) the total time tAC needed for it to reach the ground at C from the instant it is released.

When the object is falling back from B, the initial velocity = 0. And the height h will be 60 + 62.5 = 122.5 ft

Using equation 2 of equations of motion again.

h = 1/2gt^2

122.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

122.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 122.5/4.9

t^2 = 25

t = 5

Total time = 5 + 3.58 = 8.58 seconds

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

6.99 x 10⁻³ m³ / s

Explanation:

Th e pressure difference at the two ends of the delivery pipe due to atmospheric pressure and water column will cause flow of water.

h = difference in the height of water column at two ends of delivery pipe

6 - 1 =  5 m

Velocity of flow of water

v = √2gh

= √ (2 x 9.8 x 5)

=  9.9 m /s

Volume of water flowing per unit time

velocity x cross sectional area

= 9.9 x 3.14 x .015²

= 6.99 x 10⁻³ m³ / s
