A steel ball of mass m falls from a height h

Physics

Answer:

The average force F_avg = m*g

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of the ball = m

- Initially at height = h

- Dropped from rest v_i = 0

Find:

The average force F_avg that the ball imparts to the scale on every hit.

Solution:

- The velocity of the ball just before it hits the scale can be evaluated by the energy conservation as follows:

                                  E.K_1 + E.P_1 = E.K_2 + E.P_2

- Where,                     E.K = 0 ..... initial velocity V_i = 0

                                  E.P = 0 ...... Scale is the datum reference.

Hence,

                                  E.P_1 = E.K_2

                                  m*g*h = 0.5*m*V_o^2

                                  V_o = sqrt ( 2*g*h)

- We will apply the conservation of momentum on the ball just before it hits the scale and just after produces an impulse. The impulse is given by Newton's second law of motion:

                                  Ft = m*(V_f - V_o )

Where, Ft is the impulse. V_f velocity after impact. V_o = V_f (no loss of energy upon impact) - assumption.

- Taking upward direction as +.

                                  Ft = m*(V_o + V_o ) = 2*m*V_o

                                  Ft = 2*m*sqrt ( 2*g*h)

- The total time between two successive hits T can be calculated by using second kinematic equation of motion in vertical direction, as follows:

                                  y = y(0) + V_o*T - 0.5*g*T^2

Where,                       y = y(0) = 0   ... start and end points same.. Datum

Hence,

                                  0 = 0+ V_o*T - 0.5*g*T^2

                                  0 = V_o - 0.5*g*T

                                  T = 2*V_o / g = 2*sqrt ( 2*g*h) / g

- The average force F_avg can now be calculated using the expression given:

                                  F_avg*T = Ft

                                  F_avg = Ft / T

                                  F_avg = [2*m*sqrt ( 2*g*h)] / [2*sqrt ( 2*g*h) / g]

                                  F_avg = m*g

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 9 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bush
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The hunter should aim directly at the perched monkey because the tranquilizer dart will fall away from the line sight at the same rate that the monkey falls from its perch.

Tan theta = 9 / 90 = .1      so theta = 5.71 deg

The time for the monkey to reach the ground is

t = (2 h / g)^1/2 = (18 / 9.8)^1/2 = 1.36 sec

So the horizontal speed of the dart must be at least

Vx = 90 m / 1.36 sec = 66.4 m/s

Vx = V cos theta

V = 66.4 m/s / cos 5.71 = 66.7 m/s

How to measure the external diameter of a sphere
DanielleElmas [232]
Sphere is that the circular objects in the two dimensional space (1) circle
(2) disk. Two dimensional space is a set of points and the distance of that point,The two points of Sphere that length and center.
Sphere can constructed as the named of surface form circle about any diameter. circle is the special type of the revolution replacing the circle,
sphere is the distance r is the radius of the ball and circle is the center of mathematical ball,as the center and the radius of the sphere is to respectively.
The ball and sphere has not be maintained mathematical references as a solid references. A sphere of any radius is centered at the number of zero.
