A ball is kicked from the top of a building with a velocity of 50 m/s and lands 165 m away from the base of the building.
1 answer:
Answer:
3.1 s
Explanation:
we can assume that this motion has a horizontal projectile motion.
projectile motion happens when an object is subjected to only gravity. Gravity acts to influence the vertical motion of the projectile, it makes a vertical acceleration.
The horizontal motion of the projectile is the result of the constant velocity of the object.We assume no acceleration in the horizontal direction.
applying motion equations
where
s - distance
u - initial velocity
a-acceleration
t - time
s = ut + (1/2)at²
→ 165 = 50t + 0 (as no acceleration is in horizontal direction)
t = 3.1 s

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation
In this problem, the first object has a mass of
, while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass 
. The distance of the object from the Earth's center is 
; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
