From the window of a house that is placed 15 m
kow [346]

Answer:

a) 52.915 m

b) The vertical velocity is approximately 21.092 m/s

The resultant velocity is approximately 26.5 m/s

Explanation:

a) The height of the window in the house from which the water was thrown = 15 m

The speed of the stream of water thrown = 20 m/s

The angle at which the water was thrown = 37° over the horizontal

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

a) The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall is given as follows;

y = y₀ + u·t·sin(θ) + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

y = The vertical height reached    

u = The initial velocity

t = Time of flight

From the point the steam of water is thrown, we get;

y₀ = 15 m

Therefore;

y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 1/2 × 10 × t²

y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²

When y = 0, Ground level, we get

0 = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²

5·t² - 20×sin(37°)×t -15 = 0

∴ t = (20 ×sin(37°) ± √((-20 × ·sin(37°))² - 4 × (5) × (-15)))/(2 × 5)

t ≈ 3.3128302, or t ≈ 0.906

Therefore, the time of flight of the water, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds

The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = The horizontal distance travelled by the water, x

x = u·cos(θ)×t

∴ x = 20 × cos(37°) × 3.3128302 ≈ 52.915

The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = x ≈ 52.915 m

b) The velocity at which the water will reach the ground, 'v', is given as follows;

The vertical velocity, v_y = u·sin(θ)·t - g·t

At the ground, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds

∴ v_y = 20 × sin(37) - 10 × 3.3128302 ≈ -21.092

The vertical velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v_y ≈ 21.092 m/s (downwards)

The resultant velocity, v = √(v_y² + vₓ²)

∴ v = √(21.092² + (0 × cos(37°))²) ≈ 26.5

The resultant velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v ≈ 26.5 m/s.

Hey there!
eimsori [14]

The time taken for the two balls to hit each other is 8 s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Acceleration of the rocket, a = 2 m/s²</em>
  • <em>Length of the chamber, s = 4 m</em>
  • <em>Speed of the first ball, = V1 = 0.3 m/s</em>
  • <em>Speed of the second ball, V2 = 0.2 m/s</em>

The time taken for the two balls to hit each other is calculated by applying relative velocity formula as shown below;

(V_1 - (-V_2) )t = s\\\\(V_1 + V_2) t = s\\\\(0.3 + 0.2) t = 4\\\\0.5t = 4\\\\t = \frac{4}{0.5} \\\\t = 8 \ s

Thus, the time taken for the two balls to hit each other is 8 s.
