Answer:

The horizontal distance the ball travels is approximately 4.055 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height from which the child kicks the ball = 3.5 m

The horizontal speed of the ball = 4.8 m/s

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes the ball to hit the ground is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial vertical velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

t = The time it takes the ball to hit the ground

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the ball = 3.5 m

3.5 = 0 × t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

∴ t² = 3.5/(1/2 × 9.81)

∴ t = √(3.5/(1/2 × 9.81) = 0.8447 s

t ≈ 0.8447 s

The time the ball takes in flight = t ≈ 0.8447 s

Therefore;

The horizontal distance the ball travels = The horizontal velocity × The time of flight

∴ The horizontal distance the ball travels = 4.8 × 0.8447 ≈ 4.055

The horizontal distance the ball travels ≈ 4.055 meters.

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

amm1812

<u>Answer</u>:

The velocity of the tennis racket after the collision 14.966 m/s.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

let the following:

m₁ = mass of tennis racket = 0.311 kg

m₂ = mass of the ball = 0.057 kg

u₁ = velocity of tennis racket before collision = 30.3 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the ball before collision = -19.2 m/s

v₁ = velocity of tennis racket after collision

v₂ = velocity of the ball after collision

Right (+) , Left (-)

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

So, the total kinetic energy before collision = the total kinetic energy after collision.

So, 0.5 m₁ u₁² + 0.5 m₂ u₂² = 0.5 m₁ v₁² + 0.5 m₂ v₂² ⇒ (1)

Also, the total momentum before collision = the total momentum after collision.

So, m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ ⇒ (2)

Solving (1) and (2):

∴ v₁ = [ u₁ * (m₁ - m₂) + u₂ * 2m₂ ]/ (m₁ + m₂)

= ( 30.3 * (0.311 - 0.057) - 19.2 * 2 * 0.057 ) / ( 0.311 + 0.057)

= 14.966 m/s.

So, the velocity of the tennis racket after the collision 14.966 m/s.

Why isn’t a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line electrocuted? Contrast this with the situation in which a large bird hits

Grace [21]

Answer:

The reason the bird is not electrocuted is due to some facts about circuit:

1. Completeness of circuit- This circuit needs to be

complete in order for current to flow. The bird standing on only one wire has not completed the circuit.

2. A potential difference: Another factor deciding

the direction of flow of current is (electric)

potential. Current always flows from a higher

potential to a lower potential. In other words it

can be said that electrons flow from lower

potential to higher one. (the direction of electric

current is opposite to that of the electrons). So

we need the potential difference for current to

flow. The bird standing on only one wire has no potential difference.

3. Path of least Resistance- Factor that decides

the path a current will flow in case of parallel

paths is the (electric) resistance offered by the

path. Current will always flow in the path that

offers least resistance. The leg of a bird has high resistance.

Explanation:

It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. ... If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wire with a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution.

while in the other hand, the Bird that touches two wires with it wings at the same time will get electrocuted because it has completed a circuit and the its feathers created a potential difference .

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell

NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?

sdas [7]

The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
$W=q \Delta V$
where q is the charge and $\Delta V$ is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is $\Delta V = 9.0 V$ , so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
$q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C$
