Complete Question
A baseball is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stop watch measures the ball's time in the air until it hits the ground to be 4.3 s. How far does the baseball travel horizontally?
Answer:
The distance covered horizontally is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial horizontal velocity is
The time taken by the ball in the air is
Generally the distance traveled by the ball is
=>
=>
An example of an energy conversion that produces an unwanted form of energy is mixing acids with water.
Part A.
To get the acceleration of the system we consider the two blocks as a single mass. For this situation we have, from Newton's second law, that:
where T is the tension in the upper sting and W is the weight of the system. Solving the equation for a we have:
Therefore the acceleration of the system is 2.42 meters per second per second.
Part B.
Now, that we have the acceleration of the system we analyze the lower block individually; for this block the equation of motion is:
where T' is the tension in the lower rope, W' is the weight of the lower block and m2 is its mass. Solving for the tension we have that:
Therefore the tension in the lower rope is 2.93 N
