Answer:

Explanation:

The height of the hill side can be found by using the formula

$h = \frac{p}{m} \\$

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

From the question we have

$h = \frac{1568}{40} = \frac{196}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram

bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

$v_a = 70 mph$

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

$v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_a = 350 m$

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{350}{31.3}$

$t = 11.2 s$

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

$v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}$

$v_b = 22.35 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_b = 590 feet$

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

$d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m$

now the time to hit the other car is

$t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}$

$t_b = 8.05 s$

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s

insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m$

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

A 38.2 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 17.5 ◦ with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incline an

Tema [17]

Answer:

v = 8.57 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the wagon is pulled up by string system

So the net force on the wagon along the inclined is due to tension in the rope and component of weight along the inclined plane

So as per work energy theorem we know that

work done by tension force + work done by force of gravity = change in kinetic energy

$F_t . d - (mgsin\theta)(d) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

so we have

$F_t = 129 N$

$\theta = 17.5^o$

m = 38.2 kg

d = 85.4 m

so now we have

$129(85.4) - (38.2)9.8sin17.5 (85.4) = \frac{1}{2}(38.2) v^2$

$v = 8.57 m/s$

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s (~ 18 mph). What is the total time it is i

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 $\frac{m}{s}$

To find:

the total time it is in the air = ?

Formula used:

t = $\frac{v-u}{a}$

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

Solution:

A ball is thrown upward at time t=0 from the ground with an initial velocity of 8 m/s.

The time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is given by,

t = $\frac{v-u}{a}$

Where t = time to reach maximum height

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

u = initial velocity of ball = 8 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8

Acceleration of gravity is taken as negative because ball is moving in opposite direction.

t = $\frac{0-8}{-9.8}$

t = 0.8163 s

Thus, time taken by the ball to reach the ground again = time taken to reach maximum height

So, Total time required for ball to reach ground = 2t = 2 × 0.8163

Total time required for ball to reach ground = 1.6326 s

The total time it is in the air for the ball is 1.6326 s
