A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 80 feet tall with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second. The d

istance s (in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is s=80+64t-16t^2.a) After how many seconds does the ball strike the ground?b) After how many seconds does the ball pass the top of the building on its way down?

Answer:

(a) 5 s

(b) 4s

Explanation:

height of building, s = 80 feet

The equation of motion is given by

s=80+64t-16t^{2}

(a) Let it takes t time to reach the ground. A it reach the ground, s = 0

So, put s = 0 in the given equation, we get

0=80+64t-16t^{2}

t^{2}-4t-5=0

(t + 1)(t - 5) = 0

t = -1 s, t = 5 s

As time cannot be negative, so t = 5 s

Thus, the time taken by the ball to reach the ground is 5 s.

(b) Let it crosses the building in t second, s put s = 80 feet in the above equation, we get

80+64t-16t^{2}=80

t(4 - t)= 0

t = 0s or t  4 s

So, it takes 4 second to cross the building.

Answer:

a) t=6.37s

b) t=3.3333s

Explanation:

The knowable variables are the initial hight and initial velocity

s_{o}=80ft

v_{os}=64ft/s

The equation that describes the motion of the ball is:

s=80+64t-16t^{2}

If we want to know the time that takes the ball to hit the ground, we need to calculate it by doing s=0 that is the final hight.

0=80+64t-12t^{2}

a) Solving for t, we are going to have two answers

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

a=-16

b=64

c=80

t=-1.045 s or t=6.378s

<em><u>Since time can not be negative the answer is t=6.378s </u></em>

b) To find the time that takes the ball to pass the top of the building on its way down, we must find how much does it move too

First of all, we need to find the maximum hight and how much time does it take to reach it:

v_{y}=v_{o}+gt

at maximum point the velocity is 0

0=64-32.2t

Solving for t

t=1.9875 s

Now, we must know how much distance does it take to reach maximum point

s=0+64t-16t^{2} =64(1.9875)-12(1.9875)^{2} =80ft

So, the ball pass the top of the building on its way down at 160 ft

160=80+64t-16t^{2}

Solving for t

t=2s or t=3.333s

Since the time that the ball reaches maximum point is almost t=2s that answer can not be possible, so the answer is t=3.333s for the ball to go up and down, passing the top of the building

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

) Un círculo de 120 cm de radio gira a 600 rpm. Calcula: a) su velocidad angular
DIA [1.3K]

Responder:

20πrads ^ -1; 24πrads ^ -1; 0,1 seg; 10 Hz

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Radio (r) del círculo = 120 cm

600 revoluciones por minuto en radianes por segundo

(600 / min) * (2π rad / 1 rev) * (1min / 60seg)

(1200πrad / 60sec) = 20π rad ^ -1

Velocidad angular (w) = 20πrads ^ -1

Velocidad lineal = radio (r) * velocidad angular (w)

Velocidad lineal = (120/100) * 20πrad

Velocidad lineal = 1.2 * 20πrads ^ -1 = 24πrads ^ -1

C.) Período (T):

T = 2π / w = 2π / 20π = 0.1 seg

D.) Frecuencia (f):

f = 1 / T = 1 / 0.1

1 / 0,1 = 10 Hz

What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mmmm below the center of the bottom surface of the plate
Aleksandr [31]

Complete Question

A thin, horizontal, 12-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to 4.4 nC . Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on the surface. What is the strength of the electric field 0.1 mm above the center of the top surface of the plate?

Answer:

The  values is  E =248.2 \  N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  diameter is  d =  12 \  cm  =  0.12 \ m

    The charge  is  Q =  4.4 nC  =  4.4 *10^{-9} \  C

    The  distance from the center  is  k =  0.1 \ mm   =  1*10^{-4} \  m

Generally the radius is mathematically represented as

        r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>     r =  \frac{0.12}{2}

=>       r =  0.06 \  m

Generally electric field is mathematically represented as  

       E =  \frac{Q}{ 2\epsilon_o } [1 - \frac{k}{\sqrt{r^2 +  k^2 } } ]

substituting values  

      E =  \frac{4.4 *10^{-9}}{ 2* (8.85*10^{-12}) } [1 - \frac{(1.00 *10^{-4})}{\sqrt{(0.06)^2 +  (1.0*10^{-4})^2 } } ]

     E =248.2 \  N/C
