'H' = height at any time
'T' = time after both actions
'G' = acceleration of gravity
'S' = speed at the beginning of time
Let's call 'up' the positive direction.
Let's assume that the tossed stone is tossed from the ground, not from the tower.

For the stone dropped from the 50m tower:

H = +50 - (1/2) G T²

For the stone tossed upward from the ground:

H = +20T - (1/2) G T²

When the stones' paths cross, their <em>H</em>eights are equal.

50 - (1/2) G T² = 20T - (1/2) G T²

Wow !  Look at that !  Add (1/2) G T² to each side of that equation,
and all we have left is:

50 = 20T  Isn't that incredible ? ! ?

Divide each side by 20 :

<u>2.5 = T</u>

The stones meet in the air 2.5 seconds after the drop/toss.

I want to see something: 
What is their height, and what is the tossed stone doing, when they meet ?

Their height is  +50 - (1/2) G T² = 19.375 meters

The speed of the tossed stone is  +20 - (1/2) G T = +7.75 m/s ... still moving up.
I wanted to see whether the tossed stone had reached the peak of the toss,
and was falling when the dropped stone overtook it.  The answer is no ... the
dropped stone was still moving up at 7.75 m/s when it met the dropped one.

I think it would be by the change in speed

O D. Both objects won't move at all. They will just stay where they were released.
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Do not see a picture or graph but suspect it would show the golf ball falling faster and striking the ground slightly before the soccer ball.

Probably D:  Soccer ball was affected by air resistance more than the golf ball.

Explanation:

Even though heavier, friction loss of the greater surface area soccer ball will counter pull of gravity more than the compact golf ball.

In a vacuum, (no friction) both objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Find the mass. 10 points. Will give brainliest.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

<h2>3.94 kg</h2>

Explanation:

Given,

Force ( f ) = 30 N

Acceleration(a) = 7.6 m/s

Now, Let's find the mass of the ball

Using the Newton's second law of motion:

We get:

force \:  = mass \:  \times acceleration

plug the value

30 \:  = m \:  \times 7.6

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

30 = 7.6 \: m

Swap the sides of the equation

7.6m = 30

Divide both sides of the equation by 7.6

\frac{7.6 \: m}{7.6}  =  \frac{30}{7.6}

Calculate

m = 3.94 \: kg

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!

1) Mechanical energy is conserved in all the 4 situations

2) True

3) The potential energy of the block is 490 J

Explanation:

1)

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE) of a body:

E=PE+KE

According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of non-conservative forces (such as air resistance, friction...), the mechanical energy of a body is always conserved.

This means that the mechanical energy is conserved in all the situations described. More specifically:

- Child on a swing : there is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

- Pendulum : there is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

Bow and Arrow : there is a conversion of energy from elastic potential (when the bow is stretched) to kinetic energy (when the arrow is shot)

Roller Coaster: there is a continuous conversion between kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

2)

As we  said, the mechanical energy of the object falling down at any point of the fall is

E=KE+PE

where KE is the kinetic energy and PE is the potential energy. The value of E is constant, since the mechanical energy is conserved.

The potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration of gravity, h is the height of the object above the ground.

As the object falls, its height h decreases, and therefore, the potential energy PE also decreases. But we said that E must remain constant: therefore, if PE decreases, this means that KE increases, therefore as the object falls, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (in fact, the  speed of the object increases). So the statement is true.

3)

The potential energy of an object is given by the equation

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

For the block in this problem, we have:

m = 10 kg

h = 5 m

Substituting, we find its potential energy:

PE=(10)(9.8)(5)=490 J

When a 25-kg crate is pushed across a frictionless horizontal floor with a force of 200 N, directed 20 below the horizontal, th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Option E is correct 310N

Explanation:

Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N

The force directed 20° below the horizontal

Mass of crate is m = 25kg

Weight of the crate can be determine using

W = mg

g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²

W = 25×9.8

W = 245 N

Check attachment. For free body diagram and better understanding

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force

ΣFy = m•ay

ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction

N—W—F•Sin20 = 0

N = W+F•Sin20

N = 245+ 200Sin20

N = 245 + 68.4

N = 313.4 N

The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten
