A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 22.3 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 127 m from the base

of the building. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 . Find the time the ball is in motion. Answer in units of s.

Answer:

t = 2.13 s

Explanation:

given,

height of the building = 22.3 m

horizontal distance = 127 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

time for which ball is in motion = ?

using equation of motion

s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

initial velocity is zero

s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 22.3}{9.8}}

       t = √4.551

        t = 2.13 s

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.
kow [346]

Before the engines fail, the rocket's altitude at time <em>t</em> is given by

y_1(t)=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

and its velocity is

v_1(t)=80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t

The rocket then reaches an altitude of 1150 m at time <em>t</em> such that

1150\,\mathrm m=\left(80.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac12\left(3.90\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2

Solve for <em>t</em> to find this time to be

t=11.2\,\mathrm s

At this time, the rocket attains a velocity of

v_1(11.2\,\mathrm s)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

When it's in freefall, the rocket's altitude is given by

y_2(t)=1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity, and its velocity is

v_2(t)=124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt

(a) After the first 11.2 s of flight, the rocket is in the air for as long as it takes for y_2(t) to reach 0:

1150\,\mathrm m+\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=32.6\,\mathrm s

So the rocket is in motion for a total of 11.2 s + 32.6 s = 43.4 s.

(b) Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y

where v_f and v_i denote final and initial velocities, respecitively, a denotes acceleration, and \Delta y the difference in altitudes over some time interval. At its maximum height, the rocket has zero velocity. After the engines fail, the rocket will keep moving upward for a little while before it starts to fall to the ground, which means y_2 will contain the information we need to find the maximum height.

-\left(124\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=-2g(y_{\rm max}-1150\,\mathrm m)

Solve for y_{\rm max} and we find that the rocket reaches a maximum altitude of about 1930 m.

(c) In part (a), we found the time it takes for the rocket to hit the ground (relative to y_2(t)) to be about 32.6 s. Plug this into v_2(t) to find the velocity before it crashes:

v_2(32.6\,\mathrm s)=-196\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}

That is, the rocket has a velocity of 196 m/s in the downward direction as it hits the ground.

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant
Elena L [17]

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}

a=\frac{11-7}{8}

a=\frac{4}{8}

a=0.5 m/s^{2}

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}

0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}

v_{3}=19 m/s

Why will a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on its floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around insid
34kurt

The reason why a delivery truck filled with birds sitting on the floor be heavier than a truck with the same birds flying around is because when the birds are sitting on the floor, they are adding their weight to the truck.

Meanwhile, if the birds are flying around they aren't resting on the truck or touching it, so therefore their weight wouldn't be added to the truck.

The mass of the truck will remain the same as you cannot change the mass but the weight will vary depending on the items and objects placed in it.
