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 ball is thrown upward at a 45° angle. Inthe absence of air resistance, the ballfollows aA. tangential curve.B. sine curve.C. p

Evgesh-ka [11]

As ball is projected up in air at an angle of 45 degree without any air resistance

Let the initial speed will be v

now we will have

In x direction

$v_x = v cos45$

in y direction

$v_y = vsin45$

now displacement in x direction

$x = (vcos45)t + 0$

displacement in y direction

$y = (vsin45)t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

now from above two equations we have

$y = (vsin45)\frac{x}{vcos45} - \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{x}{vcos45})^2$

$y = xtan45 - \frac{1}{2v^2cos^245}gx^2$

so above equation is a quadratic equation and hence it will be a parabolic curve

so correct answer will be

<em>C. parabolic curve.</em>

Three-fourths of the area of a rectangular lawn 30 feet wide by 40 feet long is to be enclosed by a rectangular fence. If the en

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The fence is 5feet less.

Explanation:

We need to determine

The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.

Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30

When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.

Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet

When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced

Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet

Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.

Prove(show) ''T=2π√(l/g)''

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Time period for Simple pendulum, $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}$

Explanation:

The Simple Pendulum

Consider a small bob of mass $m$ is tied to extensible string of length $l$ that is fixed to rigid support. The bob is oscillating in the plane about verticle.

Let $\theta$ is the angle made by string with vertical during oscillation.

Vertical component of the force on bob, $F=-mg\sin\theta$

Negative sign shows that its opposing the motion of bob.

Taking $\theta$ as very small angle then, $\sin\theta\sim\theta$

$F=-mg\theta$

Let $x$ is the displacement made by bob from its mean position ,

then, $\theta=\frac{x}{l}$

so, $F=-mg\frac{x}{l}$ ........(1)

Since, pendulum is in hormonic motion,

as we know, $F=-kx$

where $k$ is the constant and $k=m\omega^{2}$

$F=-m\omega^2x$ .........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

$-m\omega^2x=-mg\frac{x}{l}$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}}$

Since, $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{l}$

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$
