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 .

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current
Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
