In the absence of air resistance the result is D .
mario62 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

If we Drop any object there is gravity acts on it and the air resistance but since, we are given the condition in absence of air resistance

So, we will consider only the gravity and due to gravity all the three bowls bowling ball, a tennis ball, and a feather from the top of a tall building will hit the ground at same time.

Hence, The option D is correct.

Option A,B,C and E are discarded.

A student analyzes data of the motion of a planet as it orbits a star that is in deep space. The orbit of the planet is consider
Valentin [98]

Explanation:

The orbit of the planet is considered to be stable and does not change over time. This means that the force of gravity and inertia are perfectly balanced. Leading to forward motion of Planet and moons under force of gravity of some other large body(Most probably stars).This is in turns leads to formation of orbit.

A baseball catcher puts on an exhibition by catching a 0.15-kg ball dropped from a helicopter at a height of 101 m. What is the
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s (Answer A).

Explanation:

Hi there!

To solve this problem, let´s use the law of conservation of energy. Since there is no air resistance, the only energies that we should consider is the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy. Because of the conservation of energy, the loss of potential energy of the ball must be compensated by a gain in kinetic energy.

In this case, the potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy as the ball falls (this is only true when there are no dissipative forces, like air resistance, acting on the ball). Then, the loss of potential energy (PE) is equal to the increase in kinetic energy (KE):

We can express this mathematically as follows:

-ΔPE = ΔKE

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE

The equation of potential energy is the following:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

PE = potential energy.

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

The equation of kinetic energy is the following:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the ball.

v = velocity.

Then:

-(final PE - initial PE) = final KE - initial KE          

-(m · g · hf - m · g · hi) = 1/2 · m · v² - 0     (initial KE = 0 because the ball starts from rest)  (hf = final height, hi = initial height)

- m · g (hf - hi) = 1/2 · m · v²

2g (hi - hf) = v²

√(2g (hi - hf)) = v

Replacing with the given data:

√(2 · 9.8 m/s²(101 m - 1.0 m)) = v

v = 44 m/s

The speed of the ball 1.0 m above the ground is 44 m/s.

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is moving upward at15m/s. If it takes 8.0 sec before the package strikes the ground,
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

313.6 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) = 8 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

The height at which the package was dropped can be obtained as follow:

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 8²

h = 4.9 × 64

h = 313.6 m

Thus, the package was at a height of 313.6 m when it was dropped.

A 41 kg girl and a 5.0 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 15 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma
goldfiish [28.3K]

(a) 0.8 m/s^2

The force exerted on the sled is F = 4.0 N. We can calculate the acceleration of the sled by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the sled

a is the acceleration of the sled

Solving the equation for a, we find:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{5.0 kg}=0.8 m/s^2

(b) 0.098 m/s^2

According to Newton's third law (action-reaction law), since the girl exerts a force on the sled, then the sled exerts an equal and opposite force on the girl as well. This means that the force exerted on the girl is also F = 4.0 N. As before, we can calculate the acceleration of the girl by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 41 kg is the mass of the girl

a is the acceleration of the girl

Solving the equation for a, we find:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{41 kg}=0.098 m/s^2

(c) 5.8 s

Taking the initial position of the girl as x = 0, the position at time t of the girl is given by:

x(t)=\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2

where a_g = 0.098 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the girl.

The sled starts instead its motion from x = 15 m, so its position at time t is given by

x'(t)=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2

where a_s=0.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the sled, and the negative sign is due to the fact that the sled accelerates in opposite direction to the girl's acceleration.

The girl and the sled meet when x(t) = x'(t). So, we find:

\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2\\(a_g+a_s) t^2=30 m\\t=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{a_g+a_s}}=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{0.8 m/s^2+0.098 m/s^2}}=5.8 s
