Answer:

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time taken to reach the ground, t = 38.9 s

The height of fall is given by;

h = ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂(9.8)(38.9)²

h = 7414.73 m

The velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is given as;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

u is the initial velocity of the on the root = 0

v is the final velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 7414.73 )

v = 381.2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 381.2 m/s

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot
Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles

What is the angular displacement of the second hand on a clock after 59 seconds?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. -6.17 rad

Explanation:

60 seconds is 2π radians.  Writing a proportion:

2π / 60 = x / 59

x = 6.17

The displacement is negative because the second hand moves clockwise.

In a building with 10.000 cubic feet where the air changes every two hours, what the rate of air change? A. 167.7 cfm B. 83.3 cf
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Flow rate of air is given as 83.33 cubic feet per minute

Explanation:

As we know that total volume of the air flow is given as

V = 10,000 cubic feet

also we know that total time is

t = 2 hours = 120 min

now we have flow rate given as

Q = \frac{V}{t}

Q = \frac{10000}{120}

Q = 83.3 cf/m
