A rubber ball is shot straight up from the ground with a speed of 12 m/s. Simultaneously, a second identical rubber ball is drop

ped from rest exactly 7 m directly above the first ball. At what height (in m) do the two balls collide?

Answer:

6.17 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial speed of rubber ball, u=12 m/s

Total height, h=7 m

Initial speed of second ball, u'=0

We have to find the height at which the two balls collide.

Let  first rubber ball and second ball strikes after t time.

For first ball

Distance traveled by first ball in time t

S=ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substitute the value

S=12t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

S=12t-4.9t^2   ...(1)

Distance traveled by second ball in time t

7-S=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

7-S=4.9t^2  .....(2)

Using equation (2) in equation (1) we get

S=12t-(7-S)

S=12t-7+S

\implies 12t=7

t=\frac{12}{7}sec

Now, using the value of t

S=12(\frac{12}{7})-4.9(\frac{12}{7})^2

S=6.17 m

Hence, at height 6.17 m the two balls collide .

A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s

solniwko [45]

Answer:

glass if for a good view, but for absorbing heat concrete and brick is the best

Explanation:

wood is not a good idea bc it can cause fires from too much heat and it absorbs less heat but all of that depends on how good the material your using

If two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, which of the following
Doss [256]

Answer:

Power

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of doing work with reference to the time spent and the formula is force multiplied by velocity.

In this case, if two people lift identical stacks of books the same distance and one person does the job twice as fast, then it means the velocity in the case is doubled which will also lead to an increase in the Power .

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
