To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of th

e pole after 0.50 s and then reaches the top of the pole again after a total elapsed time of 4.1 s. How high is the pole above the point where the ball was launched? (You can ignore air resistance.)

Answer:

H = 10.05 m

Explanation:

If the stone will reach the top position of flag pole at t = 0.5 s and t = 4.1 s

so here the total time of the motion above the top point of pole is given as

\Delta t = 4.1 - 0.5 = 3.6 s

now we have

\Delta t = \frac{2v}{g}

3.6 = \frac{2v}{9.8}

v = 17.64 m/s

so this is the speed at the top of flag pole

now we have

v_f - v_i = at

17.64 - v_i = (-9.8)(0.5)

v_i = 22.5 m/s

now the height of flag pole is given as

H = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}t

H = \frac{22.5 + 17.64}{2} (0.5)

H = 10.05 m

A 52.0-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.63 m/s, jumps onto a 15.2-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) Ig
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

Explanation:

Given that:

M = mass of person = 52 kg

m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg

U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s

u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s

After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.

a) According to law of momentum conservation:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

MU + mu = (M + m)V

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}

Substituting values:

V=\frac{MU+mu}{M+m}=\frac{52(3.63)+15.2(0)}{52+15.2} =2.81m/s

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s

b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

d = 30 m

Using the formula:

V^2=2\mu(gd)\\\mu=\frac{V^2}{2gd} \\\mu=\frac{2.81^2}{2*9.8*30} =0.0134

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134

PART A:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

From Equilibrium of forces, The Tension in string is cancelled by the Weight (product of mass and acceleration due to gravity) of the body acting downwards.

The Net force = Mass * Acceleration.

Since Net Force = 20 Newton, Mass = 5kg, therefore;

20 = 5kg * acceleration. Dividing the RHS and LHS of the equation by 5, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{20}{5} which gives 4.

Note: RHS means Right Hand Side.

         LHS means Left Hand Side.

Suppose you are in an elevator. As the elevator starts upward, its speed will increase. During this time when the elevator is mo
kkurt [141]

Answer:increased

Explanation:

It is given that elevator speed is increasing while moving upward i.e.its acceleration is increasing .

This causes the apparent to be increased if measured using weighing machine.

considering upward direction to be positive

N-mg=ma

N=m(g+a)

where N=Normal reaction=Apparent weight

a=acceleration of Elevator

thus you feel as if your weight is increased.

The method of creating the illusion of depth on a 2-d surface through the appearance of converging parallel lines and one or mor
user100 [1]
This method is known as linear perspective.
When using linear perspective, artists use a set of drawn or imaginary lines which are made to converge at the horizon of the image. These lines change the viewer's perspective by providing a point through which the relative size, shape and position of objects is determined. This technique creates the illusion of depth.
