You can determine the velocity it is moving at.

With that information, you can determine the object's speed.
Just divide the distance covered by the time to cover the distance.

If you also know the direction the object moved, then you can
determine its velocity. If you don't, then you can't.

A ball is dropped off the balcony of a hotel room and it takes 2.8s to fall to the ground . how high above the ground is the bal

RideAnS [48]

The height of the ball above the ground is 38.45 m

First we will calculate the velocity of the ball when it touch the ground by using first equation of motion

v=u+gt

v=0+9.81×2.8

v=27.468 m/s

now the height of the ground can be calculated by the formula

v=√2gh

27.468=√2×9.81×h

h=38.45 m

A top-fuel dragster starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 42.0 m/s2. What are (a) the final velocity of the dragst

disa [49]

Answer:

a) Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 1.8 s

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 0 + 42 x 1.8 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 75.6 m/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 3.6 s

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 0 + 42 x 3.6 = 75.6 m/s

Final velocity of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 151.2 m/s

c) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 1.8 s

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 1.8 + 0.5 x 42 x 1.8²

s = 68.04 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 1.8 s = 68.04 m

d) We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration , a = 42 m/s²

Time = 3.6 s

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

s = 0 x 3.6 + 0.5 x 42 x 3.6²

s = 272.16 m

The displacement of the dragster at the end of 3.6 s = 272.16 m

5.An ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. Ignoring friction, if the ice skater has

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<em>Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an external unbalanced net force is applied to it.

That acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

It can be expressed with the formula:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{F_n}{m}$

Where

Fn = Net force

m = mass

The ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. The wall returns the force and the skater now has a net force of Fn=59 N that makes him accelerate. Being m=79 kg the mass of the skater, the acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{59}{79}$

$a = 0.75\ m/s^2$

Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2

Under ideal conditions (no atmospheric interference of any kind), if I hit a golf ball at an angle of 25 degrees at an initial s

g100num [7]

Answer:

The required angle is (90-25)° = 65°

Explanation:

The given motion is an example of projectile motion.

Let 'v' be the initial velocity and '∅' be the angle of projection.

Let 't' be the time taken for complete motion.

Let 'g' be the acceleration due to gravity

Taking components of velocity in horizontal(x) and vertical(y) direction.

$v_{x}$ = v cos(∅)

$v_{y}$ = v sin(∅)

We know that for a projectile motion,

t = $\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}$

Since there is no force acting on the golf ball in horizonal direction.

Total distance(d) covered in horizontal direction is -

d = $v_{x}$ ×t = vcos(∅)× $\frac{2vsin(∅)}{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2∅) }{g}$ .

If the golf ball has to travel the same distance 'd' for same initital velocity v = 23m/s , then the above equation should have 2 solutions of initial angle 'α' and 'β' such that -

α +β = 90° as-

d = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2α) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2[90-β]) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(180-2β) }{g}$ = $\frac{v^{2}sin(2β) }{g}$ .

∴ For the initial angles 'α' or 'β' , total horizontal distance 'd' travelled remains the same.

∴ If α = 25° , then

β = 90-25 = 65°

∴ The required angle is 65°.
