A tennis ball "A" is released from rest down a 10.0 m long inclined ramp with a uniform acceleration of 5.0 m/s2 . Another tenni

s ball "B" is initially located at the same height as ball "A" right above the lower edge of the ramp. Ball "B" is thrown upward with some initial speed at the same instant as the release of ball "A". A) What was the initial velocity of ball "B" so that "A" and "B" reach the bottom of the ramp at the same time?

Answer:

4.8 m/s

Explanation:

For tennis ball "A", we are told that;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

Distance; h = 10 m

Acceleration; a = 5 m/s²

Thus, using Newton's equation of motion, we can find time(t).

h = ut + ½at²

10 = 0 + ½(5)t²

10 = ½(5t²)

t² = 2 × 10/5

t² = 4

t = √4

t = 2 seconds

Now, this time would be the same for ball B since we are told that they reach the bottom at the same time.

Now, since ball B is thrown upwards, it means it is thrown against gravity. Thus;

h = -ut + ½gt²

10 = -2u + ½(9.8)(2²)

Where u is initial velocity of Ball B.

Thus;

10 = -2u + 19.6

2u = 19.6 - 10

2u = 9.6

u = 9.6/2

u = 4.8 m/s

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW

So,  3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force F-> of magnitude 4.8
n200080 [17]

Answer

4.8 N

If the box is moving with a constant velocity, then we can say that the system is in equilibrium. This is because if the external force (F->) was greater than other forces the box would be accelerating. This tells us that this force (F->) is just enough to overcome friction and so it must be equal to 4.8 N.

The normal force has no effect to the horizontal velocities or forces. It is equal to -Weight. That is -74 N. The negative sign shows that the force is in opposite direction.

&gt;En cual de las siguientes situaciones la fuerza neta sobre el cuerpo es cero?
ExtremeBDS [4]
La respuesta es "Un avion que vuela al norte con rapidez constante y altitud constante".

Para que la fuerza neta sea 0, la aceleracion debe ser 0, para esto la velocidad debe ser constante.  

Para que la velocidad sea constante el objecto debe estar moviendo con rapidez (magnitud de la velocidad) constante y sin cambiar direccion; ya que la velocidad es un vector asi es que depende en magnitud y direccion.

En las demas opciones la magnitud de la velocidad (rapidez) cambia y/o la direccion.
