A ball is launched vertically upward from the edge of a cliff. The ball reaches its maximum height 1.6 seconds after launch. Bar

ely missing the edge of the cliff as it falls downward, the ball strikes the ground 6 seconds after being launched. a) What was the ball's initial velocity? b) What is the maximum height the ball reached above the cliff? c) How tall is the cliff?

Answer: a) 60m/s b) 360m c) 180m

Explanation:

Projectile motion occurs when an object launched into space falls freely under the influence of gravity.

If the time of flight (T) = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the velocity of the object

theta is the angle at which the object was thrown

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given T = 6 seconds

theta= 90°(object launched upwards)

g = 10m/s²

U= ?

Substituting in the formula we have;

6 = Usin90°/10

60 = Usin90°

since sin90° = 1

U = 60m/s

The balls initial velocity is 60m/s.

b) Maximum Height reached (H) = U²sin²theta/g

Given U = 60m/s, theta = 90° g = 10m/s²

H = 60²(sin90°)²/10

H = 3600/10

H = 360m.

The maximum height reached is 360m

c) at maximum height, v = 0

Using v² = u² - 2gh

0 = 60² - 2(10)h

-3600 = -20h

h = 3600/20

h = 180m

The cliff is 180m tall

Explanation:

- Newton's first law of motion:

"An object at rest (or in uniform motion) remains at rest (or in uniform motion) unless acted upon an unbalanced force

In this situation, we can apply Newton's first law to the keys of the keyboard that are not hit by the fingers of the man. In fact, as no force act on the keys, they remain at rest.

- Newton's second law of motion:

"The acceleration experienced by an object is proportional to the net force exerted on the object; mathematically:

F=ma

where F is the net force, m is the mass of the object, and a its acceleration"

In this case, we can apply Newton's second law to the keys of the keyboard that are hit by the man: in fact, as they are hit, they experience a downward force, and therefore they experience a downward acceleration.

"Newton's third law of motion:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

Here We can apply Newton's third law to the pair of objects finger-key: in fact, as the finger apply a force on the key (action force), then the key exerts a force back on the finger (reaction force), equal and opposite.

A 5kg box is being pulled for a force of 20 n and is sliding with an acceleration of 2 m/s. Find the coefficient of friction
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box = 5 kg

Force applied = 20 N

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Find:

Coefficient of friction

Computation:

Friction force = Mass x Acceleration.

Friction force =  5 x 2

Friction force = 10 N

Coefficient of friction = Friction force / Force applied

Coefficient of friction = 10 / 20

Coefficient of friction = 0.5
