a ball is dropped from a height of 120 meters. If it takes 2.00 seconds for a ball to fall 60 meters, how long will it take the

We know that the ball falls under the influence of gravity. Hence, we can assume that its motion is with constant acceleration and it is in a line.
The equation for this kind of motion is: s= \frac{1}{2} gt^2  where s is the distance and g is the acceleration. Since we know that for t=2 sec, s=60m, we can find the acceleration g. Substituting, we get: 60= g*(1/2)*2*2 hence g=30m/s^2 (these are the units of acceleration).

Now, we need to find the time in which the ball drops 120 m. So we substitute s=120m and we know the acceleration. We get then:
120=30/2 *t^2.
Hence, solving for t^2, 240/30=t^2, t^2=8. We get that t=\sqrt{8}=2 \sqrt{2} =2.82 sec..

It is interesting to notice, that while the distance has doubled, the time has not; the time has only gotten larger by a factor of 1.4

Two 84.5 g ice cubes are dropped into 30 g of water in a glass. If the water is initially at a temperature of 50 C and if the ic
Setler [38]

Answer:

final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

m_{ice} = 182 g

total amount of water

m_{water} = 17 g

Explanation:

After thermal equilibrium is achieved we can say that

Heat given by water = heat absorbed by ice cubes

so we will have

Heat given by water to reach 0 degree C

Q_1 = m_1s_1 \Delta T_1

Q_1 = 0.030(4186)(50 - 0)

Q_1 = 6279 J

heat absorbed by ice cubes to reach 0 degree

Q_2 = m_2 s_2 \Delta T_2

Q_2 = (0.169)(2100)(30)

Q_2 = 10647 J

so we will have

Q_2 > Q_1

so here we can say that few amount of water will freeze here to balance the heat

10647 - 6279 = mL

m = \frac{10647 - 6279}{335000}

m = 13 g

so final temperature will be 0 degree C

Total amount of ice will be

m_{ice} = 84.5 + 84.5 + 13

m_{ice} = 182 g

total amount of water

m_{water} = 30 - 13

m_{water} = 17 g

A 2 kg object with a weight of 20 N is being pulled up by a rope with a tension of 12N what is the acceleration of the object
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 2 kg

weigh of the object, W = 20 N

tension on the rope, T = 12 N

The acceleration of the object is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T = F + W

T = ma + W

ma = T - W

a = \frac{T-W}{m} \\\\a = \frac{12 - 20}{2} \\\\a = -4 \ m/s^2 (the negative sign indicates deceleration of the object)

The object accelerates downward at 4 m/s² since the tension on the rope is less than weight of the object.

Two workers are sliding 290 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 430 N while the ot
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:0.27

Explanation:

Given

One worker Pushes with force F_1=430 N

other Pulls it with a rope of rope F_2=360 N

mass of crate m=290 kg

both forces are horizontal and crate slides with a constant speed

Both forces are in the same direction so Friction will oppose the forces and will be equal in magnitude of sum of two forces because crate is moving with constant speed i.e. net force is zero on it

f_r=F_1+F_2

where f_r is the friction force

f_r=430+360

f_r=790 N

f_r=\mu N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction

N=mg

790=\mu 29\cdot 9.8

\mu =0.27
