A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The

distance s (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is 1. After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground?

Answer:

$t=6.96s$

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

$v_{oy}=96ft/s$

$y_{o}=112ft$

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}$

Solving for t using quadratic formula

$t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

$a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112$

$t=-0.999s$ or $t=6.96s$

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is

Molodets [167]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

$x=V_{ox}t$ (2)

$V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt$ (3)

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the bomb's final jeight

$y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m$ is the bomb'e initial height

$V_{oy}=0 m/s$ is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

$t$ is the time

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

$x$ is the bomb's range

$V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s$ is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

$V_{f}$ is the bomb's fina velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>b) Time</h3>

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

$y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (5)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (6)

$t=17.49 s$ (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity</h3>

Since $V_{oy}=0 m/s$ , equation (3) is written as:

$V_{f}=-gt$ (8)

$V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s)$ (9)

$V_{f}=-171.402 m/s$ (10) The negative sign ony indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range</h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

$x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s)$ (11)

$x=1700.99 m$ (12)

In Example 2.7, we investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on sol

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) 20 seconds

b) No.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for jet to stop

u = Initial velocity = 100 m/s (given in the question)

v = Final velocity = 0 (because the jet will stop at the end)

s = Displacement of the jet (Distance between the moment the jet touches the ground to the point the point it stops)

a = Acceleration = -5.00 m/s² (slowing down, so it is negative)

a) Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-100}{-5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s$

The time required for the plane to slow down from the moment it touches the ground is 20 seconds.

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=100\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times -5\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow s=1000\ m$

The distance it requires for the jet to stop is 1000 m so in a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long the plane would not be able to land. The runway needs to be atleast 1000 m long here the runway on the island is 1000-800 = 200 m short.

A solid cylinder is released from the top of an inclined plane of height 0.81 m. From what height, in meters, on the incline sho

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

same 0.81m

Explanation:

in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation

change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy

mgh = 0.5mv^2

gh = 0.5v^2

the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.

so at the bottom

put h = 0.81m

9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2

v=3.99 m/s

both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 m from a light bulb that radiates 100 W of single-frequency

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

$1.04\times 10^{-7}$ T

Explanation:

$IP$ = Power of the bulb = 100 W

$r$ = distance from the bulb = 2.5 m

$I$ = Intensity of light at the location

Intensity of the light at the location is given as

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$I = \frac{100}{4(3.14) (2.5)^{2}}$

$I$ = 1.28 W/m²

$B_{o}$ = maximum magnetic field

Intensity is given as

$I = \frac{B_{o}^{2}c}{2\mu _{o}}$

$1.28 = \frac{B_{o}^{2}(3\times 10^{8})}{2(12.56\times 10^{-7})}$

$B_{o} = 1.04\times 10^{-7}$ T
