A ball thrown horizontally at 12.6 m/s from the roof of a building lands 20.0 m from the base of the building

Answer:

1.59 seconds

12.3 meters

but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.

Explanation:

This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.

Time

<u>Given</u>

a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.

d = 20 m

v = 12.6 m/s

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi * t + 1/2at^2

<u>Solution</u>

Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to

d = vi * t

20 = 12.6 * t

t = 20 / 12.6

t = 1.59 seconds.

It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground

Height of the building

<u>Givens</u>

t = 1.59 sec

vi = 0     Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2   The acceleration is vertical.

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

<u>Solution</u>

d = 1/2 a*t^2

d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2

d = 12.3 meters.

The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)

The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.

A ship travels with velocity given by 12, with current flowing in the direction given by 11 with respect to some co-ordinate axe
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

v_x = 11.78 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of the ship is given as

v = 12 units

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current

so we will have two components of the velocity

1) along the direction of the current

2) perpendicular to the direction of the current

so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as

v_x = v cos\theta

v_x = 12 cos11

v_x = 11.78 m/s

A car is traveling at a speed of 38.0 m/s on an interstate highway where the speed limit is 75.0 mi/h. Is the driver exceeding t
Tom [10]

Answer: Yes, he is exceeding the speed limit

Explanation:

Hi!

This is problem about unit conversion

1 mile = 1,609.344 m

Then the speed limit v is:

v = 75 mi/h = 120,700.8 m/h

1 hour = 60 min = 60*60 s = 3,600 s

v = (120,700.8/3,600) m/s = 33.52 m/s

38 m/s is higher than the speed limit v.
