A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.6 m/s from a height of 25 meters above the ground. Then, 0.4 seconds after

the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 24 m/s, from a height of 1.2 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2. 1) What is the speed of the red ball right before it hits the ground?
2) How long does it take the red ball to reach the ground?
3) What is the height of the blue ball 2 seconds after the red ball is thrown?
4) How long after the red ball is thrown are the two balls in the air at the same height?

Answer:

1. v = 22.2 m/s

2. t = 2.25 seconds

3. h = 27.05 m

4. t = 1.16 seconds

Explanation:

The questions involve motion under the influence of gravity

1. Using the formula v² = u² + 2gh

where u = 1.6 m/s; g= 9.81 m/s²; h = 25 m; v = ?

v² = (1.6)² + 2 * 9.81 * 25

√v² = √493.06

v = 22.2 m/s

2. Using h = ut + 1/2 gt²

where h = 25 m; u = 0 (since velocity on reaching the ground is zero); g = 9.81 m/s²; t = ?

therefore, h = 1/2 gt²

making t subject of the formula, t = √ (2*h /g)

t = √ (2 * 25 / 9.81)

t = 2.25 seconds

3. Time of travel for the blue ball, t = 2 - 0.4 = 1.6s

using h = ut - gt²

u = 24 m/s; t = 1.6 s; g = 9.81 m/s²

note: since the ball is travelling against gravity, g is negative

h = 24 * 1.6 - 11/2 * 9.81 * 1.6²

h = 38.4 - 12.55 = 25.85 m

since height above the ground is 1.2 m,

total height h = 25.85 m + 1.2 m

h = 27.05 m

4. Let the time of travel of the red ball be t seconds.

So the time of travel of the blue ball = (t - 0.4) seconds.

Both the balls are at the same height :

25 - s = 1.2 + h where s & h are the displacements of the red & the blue ball respectively.

25 - (ut + 1/2 gt2) = 1.2 + (ut - 1/2 gt2)

25 - (1.6 t + 0.5 * 9.8 t²) = 1.2 + (24(t-0.4) - 0.5*9.8*(t-0.4)²)

solving the equation above for the time after which both the balls are at the same height.

25 - 1.6t - 4.9t² = 1.2 + 24t - 9.6 - 4.9t² + 3.92t - 0.784

collecting like terms

(25 - 1.2 + 9.6 + 0.784) = (24 + 3.92 + 1.6) * t

t = 34.184 / 33.44

t = 1.16 seconds

A bicycle tire has a pressure of 7.00×105 N/m2 at a temperature of 18.0ºC and contains 2.00 L of gas. What will its pressure be

stepan [7]

Answer:

$p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}$

Explanation:

from the ideal gas law we have

PV = mRT

$P = \rho RT$

$\rho = \frac{P}{RT}$

HERE R is gas constant for dry air = 287 J K^{-1} kg^{-1}

$\rho = \frac{7.00 10^{5}}{287(18+273)}$

$\rho = 8.38 kg/m^{3}$

We know by ideal gas law

$\rho = \frac{m_1}{V_1}$

$m_1 = \rho V_1 = 8.38 *2*10^{-3}$

$m_1 = 0.0167 kg$

for m_2

$m_2 = \rho V_i - V_removed$

$m_2 = 8.38*(.002 - 10^{-4})$

$m_2 = 0.0159 kg$

WE KNOW

PV = mRT

V, R and T are constant therefore we have

P is directly proportional to mass

$\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$p_2 = p_1 * \frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$p_2 =7*10^{5} * \frac {.0159}{0.0167}$

$p_2 = 664081 N/m^{2}$

An object is released from rest and falls in free fall motion. The speed v of the object after it has fallen a distance y is giv

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

8.91 %

Explanation:

Since v² = 2gy

By the relative error formula,

2Δv/v = Δg/g + Δy/y multiplying by 100%, we have

2Δv/v × 100% = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

2(Δv/v × 100%) = Δg/g × 100 % + Δy/y × 100%

Δg/g × 100 % = 2(Δv/v × 100%) - Δy/y × 100%

Since Δv/v × 100% = 3.69 % and Δy/y × 100% = 5 %

Since we have a difference for the percentage error in g, we square the percentage errors and add them together. So,

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(Δv/v × 100%)]² + [Δy/y × 100%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [2(3.69)]² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = [4)(3.69 %)² + [5%]²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 54.4644 %² + 25%²

[Δg/g × 100 %]² = 79.4644 %²

taking square-root of both sides, we have

[Δg/g × 100 %] = 8.91 %

So, the percent uncertainty in the calculated value of g is 8.91 %

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Height will be 3.8971 m

Explanation:

We have given that radius of the solid r = 1.60 m

Mass of the solid disk m = 2.30 kg

Angular velocity $\omega =4.46rad/sec$

Moment of inertia is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

Transnational Kinetic energy is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ as we know that v = $v=\omega r$

So $KE=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

Rotational kinetic energy is given by $KE_{ROTATIONAL}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \right )\omega ^2=\frac{1}{4}m(r\omega )^2$

Potential energy is given by mgh

According to energy conservation

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2+\frac{1}{4}m(\omega r)^2$

$h=\frac{3r^2\omega ^2}{4g}=\frac{3\times 1.60^2\times 4.46^2}{4\times 9.8}=3.8971m$

Vision is blurred if the head is vibrated at 29 Hz because the vibrations are resonant with the natural frequency of the eyeball

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

k = 4422.35 KN/m

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency ,f= 29 Hz

m = 7.5 g

Natural frequency ω

ω = 2 π f

We also know that for spring mass system

ω ² m =k

k=Spring constant

So we can say that

( 2 π f)² = m k

By putting the values

(2 x π x 29)² = 7.5 x 10⁻³ k

33167.69 = 7.5 x 10⁻³ k

k=4422.35 x 10³ N/m

k = 4422.35 KN/m

Therefore spring constant will be 4422.35 KN/m
