Answer:

If you want to hear a train approaching from far away,it is more convenient to put the ear to the track.This is because sound can travel through railway track (solid ) faster than through air.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

(III) A baseball is seen to pass upward by a window with a vertical speed of If the ball was thrown by a person 18 m below on th
Ghella [55]

Answer:

<em><u>Assuming that the vertical speed of the ball is 14 m/s</u></em> we found the given values:

a) V₀ = 23.4 m/s

b) h = 27.9 m

c) t = 0.96 s

d) t = 4.8 s

 

Explanation:

a) <u>Assuming that the vertical speed is 14 m/s</u> (founded in the book) the initial speed of the ball can be calculated as follows:  

V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh

<u>Where:</u>

V_{f}: is the final speed = 14 m/s

V_{0}: is the initial speed =?

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 18 m

V_{0} = \sqrt{V_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{(14 m/s)^{2} + 2*9.81 m/s^{2}*18 m} = 23.4 m/s  

b) The maximum height is:

V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh

h = \frac{V_{0}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(23. 4 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 27.9 m

c) The time can be found using the following equation:

V_{f} = V_{0} - gt

t = \frac{V_{0} - V_{f}}{g} = \frac{23.4 m/s - 14 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.96 s

d) The flight time is given by:

t_{v} = \frac{2V_{0}}{g} = \frac{2*23.4 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 4.8 s

         

I hope it helps you!

Stells [14]

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Applying equation of motion,

s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration,  s = distance.

make s the subject of the equation,

Given: a = 1.8 m/s²,  t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)

Substitute these value into equation 1

s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2

s = 1.2(4)/2

s = 2.4 m.

Hence she has traveled 2.4 m
