A football is thrown from the edge of a cliff from a height of 22 m at a velocity of 18 m/s [39degrees above the horizontal]. A

player at the bottom of the cliff is 12 m away from the base of the cliff and runs at a maximum speed of 6.0 m/s to catch the ball.
Is it possible for the player to catch the ball? Support your answer with calculations.


Please and thankyou!

Answer:

The ball will get to the bottom of the cliff in 1.26 s, while the player will reach the bottom of the cliff  2 s later. Thus, it is not possible for the player to catch the ball.

Explanation:

Given;

vertical height of the cliff, h = 22 m

velocity of the ball, u = 18 m/s at an angle 39⁰

vertical component of the velocity, u_y = u \ sin  \theta

The time for the ball to get to the bottom of the cliff is calculated as;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

h = (u sinθ)t + ¹/₂ x 9.8 x t²

22 = (18 sin 39)t + 4.9t²

22 = 11.328t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 11.328t  - 22 = 0

Solve the above equation with formula method;

a = 4.9, b = 11.328, c = -22

t = \frac{-b \ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-11.328\ \ +/- \ \ \sqrt{(-11.328)^2 - 4(4.9\times -22)} }{2(4.9)}\\\\t = 1.26 \ s

The time for the player to get to the bottom of the cliff;

Given maximum speed, Vx = 6.0 m/s and horizontal distance, X = 12 m;

t = \frac{X}{V_x} \\\\t = \frac{12}{6} \\\\t = 2 \ s

The ball will get to the bottom of the cliff in 1.26 s, while the player will reach the bottom of the cliff 2 s later. Thus, it is not possible for the player to catch the ball.

Discuss why Wolpert says we have a brain.
ycow [4]

Answer:

“We have a brain for one reason and one reason only, and that's to produce adaptable and complex movements,” stated Wolpert, Director of the Computational and Biological Learning Lab at the University of Cambridge. ... The evidence for this is in how well we've learned to mimic our movements using computers and robots.

If the temperature of an iron sphere is increased A)its density will decrease .B)its volume will decrease. C)its mass will decre
babymother [125]

Answer:

A) Its density will decrease

Explanation:

When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.

At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.

The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):

d=\frac{m}{V}

We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.
