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

3. What is the main difference between a physical change and a chemical
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B and D could both be right as they are quit similar.

Consider two rods of the same length and diameter,

Increasing the diameter of one would change the expansion qualities of that rod even though there would be no chemical changes,

However, leaving the physical appearance of both rods the same while applying a reactive substance (acid or something) to one of the rods would not necessarily change the physical appearance of that rod but could make a considerable change in the  physical properties of that rod.

A 0.50 kg toy is attached to the end of a 1.0 m very light string. The toy is whirled in a horizontal circular path on a frictio
xenn [34]

Answer:

The maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

radius of the light string r = 1 m

Tension on the string T = 350 N

We have to find the maximum speed without breaking the string  

For without breaking the string tension must be equal to the centripetal force

So T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

So 350=\frac{0.5\times v^2}{1}

v^2=700

v = 26.475 m /sec

So the maximum speed will be 26.475 m/sec

How do i figure out this question?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The formula for density:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

So, we can substitute values for m and V:

\rho = \frac{277}{370}\approx0.75

Therefore, the density is 0.75 g/cm^3 (watch the units!)

Which will remain the same for two identical books, one lying flat and the other standing on an end?
Fiesta28 [93]

Weight will remain the same for two identical books, one lying flat and the other standing on an end.

The strain at a factor internal a liquid is at once proportional to the intensity of the factor. When an item is submerged in a liquid, the intensity of its backside from the floor of the liquid is extra than that of some other a part of the item.

Archimedes' precept is the declaration that the buoyant pressure on an item is identical to the load of the fluid displaced with the aid of using the item.

Ensure your scale is on a flat, strong and stage floor. Do now no longer use your scale on carpet. When taking measurements, stand nevertheless withinside the middle of the platform till all measurements are displayed, and if feasible do now no longer circulate your scale in-among measurements.
