If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 40 ft/s, it height in feet after t second is given by y

=40t−16t2. Find the average velocity for the time period begining when t=2 and lasting
(i) 0.5 seconds

(ii) 0.1 seconds

(iii) 0.01 seconds

Finally based on the above results, guess what the instantaneous velocity of the ball is when t=2.

We should first calculate the highest point that ball reaches. 
y' = 40 - 32t = 0
t = 40/32 = 1,25s
y = 25 feet.

To calculate average velocity we use simple formula:
Vav=s/t   where s is traveled distance by the time t.



for t=2  we calculate y
y = 16
(i)  for t = 2,5     y = 0
Vav = 16/0.5 = 32 feet/s
(ii) for t = 2.1     y = 13.44
Vav = 2.56/0.1 = 25.6 feet/s
(iii) for t = 2.01  y = 15.7584
Vav = 0.2416/0.01= 24.16 feet/s

it seems like the answer would be 24 feet/s. There is a way to calculate that.

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of \frac{2h}{3}

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}

x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}

mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}

k=\frac{18mg}{h}

Thus k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

A force of 6600 N is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.010 m2
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Choice A: approximately 0.015\; \rm m^2, assuming that the two pistons are connected via some confined liquid to form a simple machine.

Explanation:

Assume that the two pistons are connected via some liquid that is confined. Pressure from the first piston:

\displaystyle P_1 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{6.600\times 10^3\; \rm N}{1.0\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m^{2}} = 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}.

By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2} on the liquid, the liquid will now exert the same amount of pressure on the walls of the container.

Assume that the second piston is part of that wall. The pressure on the second piston will also be 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}. In other words:

P_2 = P_1 = 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}.

To achieve a force of 9.900 \times 10^3\; \rm N, the surface area of the second piston should be:

\displaystyle A_2 = \frac{F_2}{P_2} = \frac{9.900\times 10^{3}\; \rm N}{6.6\times 10^5\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}} \approx 0.015\; \rm m^{2}.

A 1,700 kg car is being used to give a 1,400 kg car a push start by exerting a force of
Gwar [14]

Answer:

- 670 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that to every action, there is equal and opposite reaction force. Since the force will be same but different in direction and acted in the same time then the impulses ( force multiply by time) of the two car be same in magnitude but different in direction - 670 kg.m/s
