Answer:

The speed of the ball when it hits the ground is 102.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of ball, u = 25 m/s

distance traveled by the ball = height of the building = h = 500 m

when the ball hits the ground, the final velocity, v = ?

The final velocity of the ball is given by;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v² = (25)² + 2(9.8)(500)

v² = 10425

v = √10425

v = 102.1 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball when it hits the ground is 102.1 m/s

Differences between Light year and Cosmic year in two points

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

A billiard ball (ball #1) moving at 5.00 m/s strikes a stationary ball (ball #2) of the same mass. after the collision, ball #1

Rashid [163]

If it is completely elastic, you can calculate the velocity of the second ball from the kinetic energy
v1 = velocity of #1 
v1' = velocity of #1 after collision 
v2' = velocity of #2 after collision. 

kinetic energy: v1^2 = v1' ^2 + v2' ^2 (1/2 and m cancel out) 
5^2 = 4.35^2 + v2' ^2 
v2 = 2.46 m/s <--- ANSWER

A ball is kicked horizontally at 4.6 m/s off of a cliff 13.4 m high. How far from the cliff will it land.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

7.53 m

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given:

Initial Horizontal Velocity of the Ball = 4.6 m/s

Initial Vertical Velocity of the Ball = 0 m/s

Height from which ball is kicked = 13.4 m

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground:

The ball has an initial vertical velocity of 0 m/s

it also has a downward acceleration of 10 m/s² due to gravity

Solving for the time taken:

s = ut + 1/2(at²) [second equation of motion]

replacing the values

13.4 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (10)(t²)

13.4 = 5t²

t² = 13.4/5 [dividing both sides by 5]

t² = 2.68

t = 1.637 seconds [taking the square root of both sides]

Horizontal distance covered by the ball:

Since there are no horizontal opposing forces on the ball,

the ball will more horizontally at a velocity of 4.6 m/s until it hits the ground

We calculated that the ball will hit the ground in 1.637 seconds

Distance covered:

s = ut + 1/2 (at²) [seconds equation of motion]

s = ut [since a = 0m/s² in the horizontal plane]

replacing the values

s = 4.6 * 1.637

s = 7.53 m

Hence, the ball landed 7.53 m from the cliff
