Answer:

Runner will run for 210m

Step by Step Explanation:

According to Newton's first of motion,

Vf=Vi+at

Given is

the speed with which runner is running will be Vi, he is running with accelertion a=4.2m/s2 fot time t=10sec

Vf will be 0 because runner will stop after winning the race

we will find Vi from equation 1,

Vi=Vf-at

= 0- 4.2*10

=-42 m/s (negative sign is showing decceleration)

So, Vi=42 m/s

According to Newton's third of motion,

2aS= Vf^2-Vi^2

S is distance, he will cover before stopping,

2(4.2)S= 0- 42^2

S=1764/8.4

S=210m

Runner will run for 210m

A ball of mass 0.120 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.820 m. W

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1.0752 kgm/s

Explanation:

Considering when the drop was dropped from rest from a height,

mass of the ball, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = - 1.25 m

the initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh$

Substituting the values,

$V^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(-1.25 m)$

$V^{2} = 24.5 m/s$

$V = \sqrt{24.5} \ m/s$

$V = 4.95 \ m/s$

V = ± 4.95 m/s

V = - 4.95 m/s

Since the ball is moving downward, the final velocity of the ball when it hits the floor is V = - 4.95 m/s

Considering when the ball rebounds from the floor,

assume the mass of the ball still remain, m = 0.120 kg

height, h = 0.820 m

the final velocity, v = 0 m/s

the acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s²

From equation of motion

$V^{2} = U^{2} + 2gh$

Substituting the values,

$0^{2} = U^{2} + 2(-9.8 m/s^{2})(0.820 m)$

$0 = U^{2} - 16.072 m/s$

$U^{2} = 16.072 m/s$

$U = \sqrt{16.072} \ m/s$

U = ± 4.01 m/s

U = + 4.01 m/s

Since the ball is moving upward, the initial velocity of the ball from the bounce from the floor is U = + 4.01 m/s

From Newton's second law of motion, applied force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum.

$F = \frac{mv - mu}{t}$

$F.t = m(v - u)$

⇒ Impulse = Change in momentum

To calculate the impulse, the moment before the ball hits the ground will be the initial momentum while the moment the ball rebounces will be the final velocity,

∴ F.t = 0.120 kg(4.01 m/s - (-4.95 m/s) )

F.t = 0.120 kg(4.01 m/s + 4.95 m/s) )

F.t = 0.120 kg × 8.96 m/s

Impulse = 1.0752 kgm/s

The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.0752 kgm/s

Why is the ocean warmer than the air at night

Sliva [168]

You see, during the day the ocean collects heat from the sun. So the air above the ocean get warm at night, but the rest of the air on the land gets cooler because water has the ability to collect energy from the Sun.

What did the romans build as a step toward environment management

astra-53 [7]

Managing and looking after a port environment. They were also vegetarian. Smoke led to pollution, so there were laws passed that factories could not be built where other buildings could be affected. There were also water systems and sewage systems that carried water to people and carried sewage away from people who could afford it at the time.
