Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

A car accelerates from rest at 3.00 m/second squared What is the velocity after 5 secs ? What is the displacement after 5 second
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

after 5 seconds, the velocity is (5s)(3m/s²) = 15m/s

The displacement after 5s is

x=vo + (1/2)at²

x = 0 + (1/2)(3m/s²)(5s)(5s)

x= 37.5 m

Two blocks a and b ($m_a>m_b$) are pushed for a certain distance along a frictionless surface. how does the magnitude of the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

the magnitude of the work done by the two blocks is the same.

Explanation:

The work done by block a on block b is given by:

W_a = F_a d

where Fa is the force exerted by block a on block b, and d is the distance they cover.

The work done by block b on block a is given by:

W_b = F_b d

where Fb is the force exerted by block b on block a, and d is still the distance they cover.

For Newton's third law, the force exerted by block a on block b is equal to the force exerted by block b on block a, therefore

F_a = F_b

and so

W_a=W_b

A CD has to rotate under the readout-laser with a constant linear velocity of 1.25 m/s. If the laser is at a position 3.7 cm fro
Savatey [412]

Answer:N=322.53 rpm

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity (v)=1.25 m/s

Position from center is 3.7 cm

we know

v=\omega \times r

1.25\times 100=\omega \times 3.7

\omega =\frac{125}{3.7}=33.78

and \frac{2\pi N}{60}=\omega

N=\frac{\omega \times 60}{2\pi }

N=\frac{33.78\times 60}{2\pi }

N=322.53 rpm
