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

The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 23
Burka [1]

Answer:

a) v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}, b) v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

a) The equation for vertical velocity is obtained by deriving the function with respect to time:

v(t) = 23.5 -9.8\cdot t

The velocities at given instants are, respectivelly:

v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}

v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}

Teeth are an example of which type of simple machine? lever wedge inclined plane pulley
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".
