Answer:
- <u>The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first, 0.19 s before the other ballon.</u>
Explanation:
The motions of the two water ballons are ruled by the kinematic equations:
We are only interested in the vertical motion, so that equation is all what you need.
<u>1. Water ballon is thrown horizontally at sped 2.00 m/s.</u>
The time the ballon takes to hit the ground is independent of the horizontal speed.
Since 2.00 m/s is a horizontal speed, you take the initial vertical speed equal to 0.
Then:
<u>2. Water ballon thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s</u>
Now the initial vertical speed is 2.00 m/s down. So, the equation is:
To solve the equation you can use the quadratic formula.
You get two times. One of the times is negative, thus it does not have physical meaning.
<u>3. Conclusion:</u>
The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.
E S *
The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).
The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years
Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.
To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.
As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.
To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles
A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>
Answer:
2 min 40 s.
Explanation:
Distance = 800 ft
Speed (walking speed) = 300 ft/min
Speed = distance/time
Time, t = 800/300
= 8/3
= 2 min 40 s.
Answer:
T = 80√3 N ≈ 139 N
W = 160 N
Explanation:
Sum of forces on B in the x direction:
∑F = ma
80 N sin 60° − T sin 30° = 0
T = 80 N sin 60° / sin 30°
T = 80√3 N
T ≈ 139 N
Sum of forces on B in the y direction:
∑F = ma
80 N cos 60° + T cos 30° − W = 0
W = 80 N cos 60° + T cos 30°
W = 40 N + 120 N
W = 160 N
