A 4.33 kg ball is dropped from the roof of a building 157.2 m high. While the ball is falling to Earth, a horizontal wind exerts

a constant force of 11.5 N on the ball. How long does it take to hit the ground? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of s.

Answer:

The ball takes 5.66 seconds to hit the ground.

Explanation:

In this problem, the horizontal wind that interferes with the ball doesn't affect the time in which the balls hit the ground.  

To find this time this is the equation for kinetic energy:  

d=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where d is the distance, g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time that you have to find, you can solve this equation to find t:  

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}}

Replace the values:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(157.2m)}{9.81/s}}

t=5.66 s

What can cause electricity to jump across a gap
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

It often happens in a circuit which was conducting,and a switch is opened. Any inductance in the circuit will help the voltage increase due to back emf,and this can cause breakdown of the air insulation and an arc can form.

1. Apply a constant force of 50 N directed to the right of the 50 kg Box. (2 pts)
kotegsom [21]

As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.

Then   friction force = 80 Newtons              but in the opposite direction.

Friction force =  Mu  * Normal force exerted by ground  =  Mu * weight of box

So we find Mu.

Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface

          = Force of friction / weight  =  80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163

When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is

      = Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons

A basketball player can jump 1.6 m off the hardwood floor. With what upward velocity did he leave the floor?
irinina [24]
First do 1.6 m (how far he jumps) 9.8 m/s (what gravity is measured at) then times 2

= 31.36

Sq root = 5.6

frez [133]

Answer:

The Heavier Firefighter

Explanation:

Generally, more massive objects will have more intertia than less massive objects.  As such it takes more force to halt a more massive object if its moving at the same speed as a smaller object. This can also be thought of in the context of Newton's second law. The more force needed to accelerate an object means the more force the object will have.
