A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.05 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

40.0° below the horizon and the roof edge is 4.50 m above the ground, find the time the baseball spends in the air and the horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground.

1) Time in the air: 0.78 s

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical motion with constant downward acceleration of

g=-9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

The initial vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (3.05)(sin(-40^{\circ}))=-1.96 m/s

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the ball is given by

y(t) = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.50 m is the initial heigth of the ball when it starts falling down

The ball reaches the ground when y = 0, so we have:

0 = 4.50 -1.96t-4.9t^2

This is a second-order equation; solving for t, we get

t = -1.18 s

t = 0.78 s

We discard the negative solution since it has no physical meaning, so we can say that the ball spent 0.78 s in the air.

2) Horizontal distance: 1.83 m

For this second part of the problem, we just have to consider the horizontal motion of the ball.

As we said previously, the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion with constant velocity, which is given by

v_x = u cos \theta = (3.05)(cos (-40.0^{\circ}))=2.34 m/s

where u = 3.05 m/s is the initial speed and \theta the angle of projection.

For a uniform motion, we can use the following relationship between distance covered and velocity:

d=v_x t

and substituting t = 0.78 s, we find the total distance travelled along the horizontal direction by the ball before reaching the ground:

d=(2.34)(0.78)=1.83 m

A 1500 kg car traveling at 15.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is at rest at a stopligt. The car comes to a
Burka [1]

Answer:

5 m/s, moving to the South.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of car, m = 1500 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 15 m/s

Mass of truck, M = 4500 kg

Initial velocity of truck, v = 0 m/s (Truck is at rest)

Final velocity of car, U = 0 m/s (Car comes to a stop)

Final velocity of truck = V

Because the collision is elastic, we can apply the principle of conservation of momentum, we have that:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(1500 * 15) + (4500 * 0) = (1500 * 0) + (4500 * V)

22500 + 0 = 0 + 00V

=> V = 22500/4500

V = 5 m/s

The velocity carries a positive sign, hence, it's moving in the same direction as the car was moving initially.

That is, it's moving to the South.

A car of mass 1470 kg is on an icy driveway
Schach [20]

Answer:

  a = 7.5 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's create a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y axis

       N - W cos θ = 0

       N = mg cos θ

X axis

       W sin θ = m a

 

       mg sin θ = m a

        a = g sin θ

let's calculate

        a = 9.8 cos 40

        a = 7.5 m / s²

PLEASEE HELPP
topjm [15]

Explanation:

u=166m/s, v=0(at it's highest point final velocity is zero), a=9.8m/s², t=8.6s

by the formula, S=ut+½at².

S=[166×8.6+½.×9.8×(8.6)²]. ...by calculation

S = 1427.6+362.404

S=1790.004m

hope this helps you.

Precautions to be taken for the displacement method
finlep [7]

Volume by Displacement. The displacement method (submersion, or dunking method) can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

The following precautions should be taken very observantly:-

The line of sight must be perpendicular to measuring scale to avoid parallax error. Formation of bubbles inside the cylinder should be completely avoided. Any bubbles within leads to wrong measurements.
