Explanation:
The equation of motion of an object is given by :
Where
t is the time in seconds
We need to find the time when the object hits the ground. When the object hits the ground, h(t) = 0
So,
On solving above equation using online calculator, t = 8 seconds. So, the object hit the ground after 8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
K = 0.076 J
Explanation:
The height of the target, h = 0.860 m
The mass of the steel ball, m = 0.0120 kg
Distance moved, d = 1.50 m
We need to find the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck. Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.
Put all the values,
The velocity of the ball is :
The kinetic energy of the ball is :
So, the required kinetic energy is 0.076 J.
