A ball of mass m is thrown straight upward from ground level at speed v0. At the same instant, at a distance D above the ground,

another ball of mass m is thrown straight downward toward the first ball, also at speed v0. Assume that gravity acts vertically downward on each mass m with a magnitude mg.

Answer:

a. t = \frac{v_{0}  +/- \sqrt{v_{0} ^{2} - gD} }{g}  b. D = v₀²/2g

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v₀ . At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a height D , directly above the point where the first ball was thrown upward. There is no air resistance

Find the time at which the two balls collide.

Express your answer in terms of the variables D ,v₀ , and appropriate constants..

t = ?!

Part B

Find the value of D in terms of v₀ and g so that at the instant when the balls collide, the first ball is at the highest point of its motion.

Express your answer in terms of the variables v₀ and g .

D =?!

Solution

The distance moved by the ball dropped from distance,D with velocity v₀, H₁ = D - (v₀t - gt²/2) = D + v₀t + gt²/2.

The distance moved by the ball thrown straight upward with velocity v₀ is H₂ = v₀t - gt²/2.

The two balls collide when their vertical distances are equal. That is H₁ = H₂

So, D - v₀t + gt²/2 = v₀t - gt²/2

Collecting like terms

D + gt²/2 + gt²/2 = v₀t + v₀t

D +gt² = 2v₀t

gt² - 2v₀t + D = 0.

Using the quadratic formula,

t = \frac{-(-2v_{0} ) +/- \sqrt{(-2v_{0} )^{2} - 4 X g XD} }{2g} = \frac{2v_{0}  +/- \sqrt{4v_{0} ^{2} - 4gD} }{2g} = \frac{v_{0}  +/- \sqrt{v_{0} ^{2} - gD} }{g}

B. At its highest point, the velocity of the first ball, v = 0. Using v² = u² - 2gs where s = highest point of first ball when they collide and u = v₀.

0 = v₀² - 2gs

s = v₀²/2g.

Also, the time it takes the first ball to reach its highest point is gotten from v = u - gt. At highest point, v = 0 and u = v₀. So,

 0 = v₀ - gt₀

t₀ = v₀/g

Also H = s₁ + s where s₁  = distance moved by second ball in time t₀ for collision = v₀t₀ - gt₀²/2.

So, H = v₀t₀ - gt₀²/2 + v₀²/2g = v₀(v₀/g) - g(v₀/g)²/2 + v₀²/2g = v₀²/2g - v₀²/2g + v₀²/2g = v₀²/2g

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

Which literary device portrays a character's reflections?
DochEvi [55]
Of the literary devices you provided to choose from, snap hots and thought shots are not even devices so they fall off the list.

sensory language can explain the senses the character is using - helping figure out his reflections,

but figuratve language can helop the best. the character says something figuratively and we can analyze what they meant to find out what they were thinking

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m
sergey [27]

Answer:

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of vehicle, m=1350\ kg
  • radius of curvature, r=71\ m
  • coefficient of friction, \mu=0.23

<u>During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:</u>

m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N

where:

\mu= coefficient of friction

N= normal reaction force due to weight of the car

v= velocity of the car

1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1} is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

162.8 K

Explanation:

initial current = io

final current, i = io/8

Let the potential difference is V.

coefficient of resistivity, α = 43 x 10^-3 /K

Let the resistance is R and the final resistance is Ro.

The resistance varies with temperature

R = Ro ( 1 + α ΔT)

V/i = V/io (1 + α ΔT )

8 = 1 + 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

7 = 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

ΔT = 162.8 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 162.8 K.
