A common black ant discovers a piece of bread 85 cm east of the entrance of her nest. If the ant carries 10 bits of bread back t

o her nest on separate trips before moving on to other chores, what distance did she travel after discovering the bread? What was her displacement from the nest after dropping up the last bit of bread?

Answer:

19 x 85 = 1,615 for distance. Displacement is 0

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by the ant in 9 round trips and one 1/2 trip, or 19 one bash way trips: 19 x 85cm = 1615cm. The displacement of the ant after the tenth trip is 0 cm ( the displacement origin is the nest.)

A Tennis ball falls from a height 40m above the ground the ball rebounds
worty [1.4K]

If the ball is dropped with no initial velocity, then its velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> before it hits the ground is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g t</em>

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity.

Its height <em>y</em> is

<em>y</em> = 40 m - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

The ball is dropped from a 40 m height, so that it takes

0 = 40 m - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

==>  <em>t</em> = √(80/<em>g</em>) s ≈ 2.86 s

for it to reach the ground, after which time it attains a velocity of

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (√(80/<em>g</em>) s)

==>  <em>v</em> = -√(80<em>g</em>) m/s ≈ -28.0 m/s

During the next bounce, the ball's speed is halved, so its height is given by

<em>y</em> = (14 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> to see how long it's airborne during this bounce:

0 = (14 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

0 = <em>t</em> (14 m/s - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>)

==>  <em>t</em> = 28/<em>g</em> s ≈ 2.86 s

So the ball completes 2 bounces within approximately 5.72 s, which means that after 5 s the ball has a height of

<em>y</em> = (14 m/s) (5 s - 2.86 s) - 1/2 <em>g</em> (5 s - 2.86 s)²

==>  (i) <em>y</em> ≈ 7.5 m

(ii) The ball will technically keep bouncing forever, since the speed of the ball is only getting halved each time it bounces. But <em>y</em> will converge to 0 as <em>t</em> gets arbitrarily larger. We can't realistically answer this question without being given some threshold for deciding when the ball is perfectly still.

During the first bounce, the ball starts with velocity 14 m/s, so the second bounce begins with 7 m/s, and the third with 3.5 m/s. The ball's height during this bounce is

<em>y</em> = (3.5 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (3.5 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em>²

0 = <em>t</em> (3.5 m/s - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>)

==>  (iii) <em>t</em> = 7/<em>g</em> m/s ≈ 0.714 s

As we showed earlier, the ball is in the air for 2.86 s before hitting the ground for the first time, then in the air for another 2.86 s (total 5.72 s) before bouncing a second time. At the point, the ball starts with an initial velocity of 7 m/s, so its velocity at time <em>t</em> after 5.72 s (but before reaching the ground again) would be

<em>v</em> = 7 m/s - <em>g t</em>

At 6 s, the ball has velocity

(iv) <em>v</em> = 7 m/s - <em>g</em> (6 s - 5.72 s) ≈ 4.26 m/s

A ship, carrying freshwater to a desert island in the caribbean, has a horizontal cross-sectional area of 2800 m2 at the waterli
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Due that we already know the horizontal cross-sectional area of the ship, which is 2800 m2 and we are going to understand that value keeps constant for the whole 9.5 of height of the ship from the waterline till the new waterline after unloading, then we just need to calculate the volume as follows: V = A * H , where V is volume, A is area and H is height V= 2,800 * 9.5 = 26,600 m3 So this volum of 26,600 cubic meters is the volum of freshwater delivered in the island.</span>

Mo is on a baseball team and hears that a ball thrown at a 45 degree angle from the ground will travel the furthest distance. Ho
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Usually the angle between the y axis  and x axis is 90° and we know that for furthest travel the degree angle must be 45° with the horizontal, Mo must release the ball about halfway between straight ahead and straight up
