where

V = u - gt

but from the question,

v= 0 and the acceleration is negative because it's a free fall

substitute the values into the equation

0 = 24.24 -9.8t

making t the subject

9.8t = 22.24

dividing through by 9.8

9.8t/9.8 = 22.24/9.8

t = 2.3s . therefore, it would take 2.3s for the ball to hit the ground.

A bullet of 5 gm is fired from a pistol of 1.5 kg. If the recoil velocity of pistol is 1.5 m/s,
Andreyy89

Answer:

-450 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

p₀ = p

0 = (1.5 kg) (1.5 m/s) + (0.005 kg) v

v = -450 m/s

A 5.00-g bullet is fired into a 900-g block of wood suspended as a ballistic pendulum. The combined mass swings up to a height o
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The value is  KE_b =0.710 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass  of the bullet is m_b  = 5.00 \ g  = 0.005 \  kg

  The mass  of the wood is  m_w =  900 \  g  =  0.90\  kg

   The height attained by the combined mass is  h =  8.0 \ cm  =  0.08 \ m

Generally according to the law of energy conservation    

    KE _b  =  PE_c

Here KE_b is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.

and PE_c is the  potential  energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as

      PE_m  =  [m_b  + m_w] *  g *  h

So

   KE_b =PE_c   = [0.005  + 0.90] * 9.8 *0.08

=> KE_b =0.710 \ J

Write Newton's 3rd law. How would this law relate to a rocket ship taking off from the earth? Would this law affect the rocket s
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Part A

Newton's 3rd law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, mathematically, we have;

F_A = -F_B

Where;

F_A = The action force

F_B = The reaction force

Part B

The law indicates that the force with which a rocket ship uses in taking off from the Earth, F_A is equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction to the reaction force of the Earth to the motion of the rocket, (-)F_B

Part C

The law is a universal law, and it will also affect the rocket ship in space, as the force of the jet from the exhaust is directed towards Earth while in space, the rocket is propelled deeper into space
