In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 6.4 m a

bove the ground and drops a ball straight down. At the same moment, Amelia uses a spring-loaded device on the ground to launch a dart straight up toward the ball. The dart is launched at 16.2 m/s. Find the time and height of the collision by simultaneously solving the equations for the ball and the dart. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

Answer:

time of collision is

t = 0.395 s

$h = 5.63 m$

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

Explanation:

initial speed of the ball when it is dropped down is

$v_1 = 0$

similarly initial speed of the object which is projected by spring is given as

$v_2 = 16.2 m/s$

now relative velocity of object with respect to ball

$v_r = 16.2 m/s$

now since we know that both are moving under gravity so their relative acceleration is ZERO and the relative distance between them is 6.4 m

$d = v_r t$

$6.4 = 16.2 t$

$t = 0.395 m$

Now the height attained by the object in the same time is given as

$h = v_2 t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$h = 16.2(0.395) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81).395^2$

$h = 5.63 m$

so they will collide at height of 5.63 m from ground

The Rigidbody component adds collision to a GameObject

kifflom [539]

Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject<u> to react to real-time physics. </u>

Explanation:

Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject to react to real-time physics. This includes reactions to forces and gravity, mass, drag and momentum. You can attach a Rigidbody to your GameObject by simply clicking on Add Component and typing in Rigidbody2D in the search field.
A rigidbody is a property, which, when added to any object, allows it to interact with a lot of fundamental physics behaviour, like forces and acceleration. You use rigidbodies on anything that you want to have mass in your game.
You can indeed have a collider with no rigidbody. If there's no rigidbody then Unity assumes the object is static, non-moving.
If you had a game with only two objects in it, and both move kinematically, in theory you would only need a rigidbody on one of them, even though they both move.

Explanation:

Unclear question. The clear rendering reads;

"Into a U-tube containing mercury, pour on the other side sulfuric acid of density 1.84 and on the other side alcohol of density 0.8 so that the levels are in the same horizontal plane. The height of the acid above the mercury being 24 cm. What is the height of the bar and what variation of the level of the acid, when the mercury density is 13.6?

Answer:

the faster an object moves the more kinetic it has. the more mass an object has, the more kinetic energy it has.

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th

Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy $PE_{i}$ and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted $PE_{f}$ is:

c) $PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with $C_{o}$ that is connected to a voltage source $V_{o}$ holds a charge of $Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}$ . Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge $Q_{o}$ constant . If we insert a dielectric of $\kappa=2$ between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:

$V=\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa}$

The capacitance is modified as:

$C=\frac{Q}{V} =\kappa\frac{Q_{o}}{V_{o}}=\kappa\ C_{o}$

The stored energy without the dielectric is

$PE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q_{o}^{2}}{C_{o}}=\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2}$

The stored energy after the dielectric is inserted is:

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^{2}}{C}=\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$

If we replace in the above equation the values of V and C we get that

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\kappa\ C_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa})^{2}=\frac{1}{\kappa}(\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2})$

$PE_{f} =\frac{PE_{i}}{\kappa}$

Finally

$PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

If the kinetic energy of a given mass is to be doubled, its speed must be multiplied by

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Either B or D. The answer itself is 2.

Explanation:

The equation for the kinetic energy would be 1/2*mv^2.

When m is doubled, we can plug in 1 and 2 to compare our answers.

Plugging in 1 for mass would give us the answer 1/2*v^2.

Plugging in 2 for mass would give us v^2. This means that the velocity was multiplied by 2, meaning that the answer is it is multiplied by 2.

I am not sure which answer is correct since there seems to be two answer choices with 2 in it, but the answer is either B or D (I will call it ABCD because I do not want to cause confusion by saying 2 multiple times).
