Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

You throw a ball from the balcony onto the court in the basketball arena. You release the ball at a height of 7.00 m above the c
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Your friend has to wait 0.26 s after you throw the ball to start running.

Explanation:

The equation that gives the position vector of the ball is as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t ·sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal positon

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = throwing angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

The equation of displacement of your friend is as follows:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of your friend at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Please, see the attached figure for a description of the situation. Notice that the frame of reference is located at the throwing point.

Let´s find the time of flight of the ball. We know that at the final time, the y-component of the vector r has to be -6.00 m (1 m above the ground). Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t ·sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-6.00 m = 0 m + 9.00 m/s · t · sin 33.0° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 9.00 m/s · sin 33.0° · t + 6.00 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 1.71 s

Now that we have the time of flight, we can calculate the x-component of the vector r (the horizontal distance traveled by the ball):

x= x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0m + 9.00 m/s · 1.71 s · cos 33°

x = 12.9 m

Then, your friend will have to run (12.9 m - 11.0 m) 1.9 m to catch the ball 1 m above the ground.

Let´s see, how much time it takes your friend to run that distance:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²      (x0 = 0, v0 = 0)

x = 1/2 · a · t²

1.9 m = 1/2 · 1.80 m/s² · t²

Solving for t

t = 1.45 s

Then, since the time of flight of the ball is 1.71 s, your friend has to wait

1.71 s - 1.45 s = 0.26 s after you throw the ball to start running.

PLS HELP. A flatbed car of a train moves 8 m/s to the east. A jogger runs along to top the flatbed car (which is not very safe)
jonny [76]

Answer:

2 m/s

Explanation: Given that a flatbed car of a train moves 8 m/s to the east. A jogger runs along to top the flatbed car (which is not very safe) with a velocity of 6 m/s to the west.

Since the jogger is moving in an opposite direction to the direction of the train, and velocity is the distance covered in a specific direction, the jogger will be moving at a velocity relative to the velocity of the train.

Velocity = (8 - 6) m/s

Velocity = 2 m/s

Therefore, the jogger will be moving at the speed of 2 m/s

Answer:

A = 11.77 m/s²

Explanation:

Mass of box (m) = 66kg

Force (f) = 777n

Acceleration (a) = ??

F = ma

777 = 66 · a

A = \frac{777}{66} = 11.77m/s²
