A ball is released from a tower at a height of 100 meters toward the roof of another tower that is 25 meters high. The horizonta

l distance between the two towers is 20 meters. With what horizontal velocity should the ball be imparted so that it lands on the rooftop of the second building?

-- During the time the ball is flying from the high roof to the low roof,
it's going to fall (100-25) = 75 meters.
How long does it take an object dropped from rest to fall 75 meters ?

Distance = (1/2) · (gravity) · (time)²

75 m = (4.9 m/s²) · (time)²

Time² = (75 m) / (4.9 m/s²)
Time² = 15.31 sec²
Time = √(15.31 sec²)  =  3.91 seconds 

So the ball has to cover the horizontal distance of 20 meters 
in 3.91 seconds.

Distance = (speed) · (time)

20 m = (speed) · (3.91 sec)

Speed = (20 m) / (3.91 sec)

Speed  =  5.11 m/s

NARA [144]
To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.

Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds

Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters

What conclusions can be drawn about the existence of nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15? A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they cont
AleksandrR [38]
<span>Answer: A) They are isotopes of nitrogen and they contain the same number of protons and electrons but each contains a different number of neutrons - 7 and 8 respectively.

Isotopes are atoms of a chemical element whose nucleus has the same atomic number, Z, but different atomic mass, A. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the atom, therefore the isotopes of an element contain the same number of protons and electrons (atoms have to be neutral particles). The difference in atomic masses arises from the difference in the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus.

A 3 kg toy car with a speed of 7 m/s collides head-on with a 2 kg car traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 5 m/s.
Mademuasel [1]

Answers:

kinetic energy lost = 86.4J

Explanation:

let Kf be the kinetic energy after the collision and Ki be the kinetic energy before the collision. let the 3kg car be 1 and 2kg car be 2.

Kf = K1(f) + K2(f)

Ki = K1(i) + k2(i)

loss in kinetic energy = Kf - Ki

                                 = 1/2(3)(2.20)^2 + 1/2(2)(2.20)^2 - 1/2(3)(7)^2 - 1/2(2)(-5)^2

                                 = 12.1 - 98.5

                                 = -86.4 J

therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 86.4 J.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

85 = ½(0.43)t²

t = √(2(85)/0.43)

t = 19.883380...

t = 20 s

v→ 8.55 m/s initial, 0 m/s final

a← 0.43 m/s²
