If the ball shown in the figure lands in 0.5 s, about what height was it thrown from?

Physics

Answer: 1.22 m

Explanation:

The equation of motion in this situation is:

$y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=h$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin(0\°)=0$ is the vertical component of the initial velocity (assuming the ball was thrown vertically and there is no horizontal velocity)

$t=0.5 s$ is the time at which the ball lands

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

So, with these conditions the equation is rewritten as:

$h=\frac{g}{2}t^{2}$ (2)

$h=\frac{9.8 m/s^{2}}{2}(0.5 s)^{2}$ (3)

Finally:

$h=1.22 m$

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts

expeople1 [14]

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts moving the ball moves toward the back of the train. This happened due to inertia

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion unless a net external force acts on it .

When a train starts moving forward, the ball placed on the floor tends to fall backward is an example of inertia of rest. Due to the reason that the lower part of the ball is in contact with the surface and rest of the part is not . As the train starts moving, its lower part gets the motion as the floor starts moving but the upper part will remain as it is as it is not in contact with the floor , hence do not attain any motion due to the inertia of rest simultaneously i.e. it tends to remain at the same place.

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 3.5 seconds later. What is the depth of the well? Take the spee

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The depth of the well, s = 54.66 m

Given:

time, t = 3.5 s

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

Solution:

By using second equation of motion for the distance traveled by the stone when dropped into a well:

$s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Since, the stone is dropped, its initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

and acceleration is due to gravity only, the above eqn can be written as:

$s = \frac{1}{2}gt'^{2}$

$s = \frac{1}{2}9.8t^{2} = 4.9t'^{2}$ (1)

Now, when the sound inside the well travels back, the distance covered,s is given by:

$s = v\times t''$

$s = 343\times t''$ (2)

Now, total time taken by the sound to travel:

t = t' + t''

t'' = 3.5 - t' (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

s = 343(3.5 - t') (4)

from eqn (1) and (4):

$4.9t'^{2} = 343(3.5 - t')$

$4.9t'^{2} + 343t' - 1200.5 = 0$

Solving the above quadratic eqn:

t' = 3.34 s

Now, substituting t' = 3.34 s in eqn (2)

s = 54.66 m

A loaf of bread (volume 3100 cm3) with a density of 0.90 g/cm3 is crushed in the bottom of the grocery bag into a volume of 1240

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2,25 g/cm3

Explanation:

Hi, you have to know one thing for this.. Density = mass/Volume,

When you have the loaf of bread with 3100 cm3 and a density of 0.90 g/cm3, the mass of that bread is 2790 g because of if you isolate the variable mass from the equation you get.. mass= density x volume

Later, have on account the mass never changes, so you crush the bread and the mass is the same.. so when you have the mashed bread.. you know that the mass is 2790 g and the volume of the bag is 1240 cm3, so you apply the main equation.... density=2790 g / 1240 cm3 , so density = 2,25 g/cm3
