A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistance.

Find (a) the height of the tabletop above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor.

Answer:

a. 0.6 m b. 0.385 m c. 3.6 m/s at 287.78° to the horizontal

Explanation:

a. Using s = ut - 1/2gt² for motion under gravity where s = vertical distance = height of table, u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s, t = time of flight = 0.350 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting these these values into s and taking the top of the table as position 0 m, we have.

0 - s = 0t - 1/2gt²

-s = -1/2gt²

s = 1/2gt²

s = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (0.350 s)²

s = 0.6 m

b. Using d = v't where d = horizontal distance from table, v' = horizontal velocity of book = 1.10 m/s and t = time of flight = 0.350 s

d = v't = 1.10 m/s × 0.350 s = 0.385 m

c. Using v² = u² - 2gs where u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s and g = 9.8 m/s², s = -0.6 m (negative since we are at the bottom and 0 m is at the top)and v = final vertical velocity of book

v² = u² - 2gs

= 0 - 2 × 9.8 m/s² × (-0.6 m)

= 11.76 m²/s²

v = √11.76 m/s

= 3.43 m/s

So, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is V = √(v² + v'²)

= √((3.43 m/s)² + (1.10 m/s)'²)

= √(11.76 m²/s² + 1.21 m²/s²)

= √12.97 m²/s²

= 3.6 m/s

Its direction Ф = tan⁻¹(-v/v') since v is in the negative y direction

= tan⁻¹(-3.43 m/s/1.10 m/s)

= tan⁻¹(-3.1182)

= -72.22°

Ф = -72.22°+ 360 = 287.78° since it is in the third quadrant

Does gravity affect your weight???
Degger [83]
Weight is a force caused by gravity. The weight of an object is the gravitational force between the object and the Earth. The more mass the object has the greater its weight will be.

A train travels 77 kilometers in 1 hour, and the 66 kilometers in 1 hour. What is the average speed?
Kipish [7]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (77km + 66km) = 143 kilometers

Time to cover the distance = 2 hours

Average speed = (143 km) / (2 hours) =  71.5 km per hour

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.

How do you change matter into other phases of matter?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Hey there!

There's many ways to do it - like melting and evaporating.

For example, we'll use water. Plain old water in a water bottle. Right now, it's in its liquid state of matter, but say you put it in the freezer for an hour. That would change its state of matter to solid, since it would be solid ice. Now, if you were to put it out in the sun on a blazing hot day for a couple of hours, it would evaporate and become water vapor, a gas. Lastly, if you can cool that water vapor it becomes a liquid again.

Hope this helps!
