Answer:

t = 2.01 s

Vf = 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

It's know through the International System that the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², then we have;

Data:

  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = ?
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

==================================================================

Time

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

Everything inside the root is solved first. So, we solve the multiplication of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{40m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{4.08s}}

The square root is performed:

  • \boxed{t=2.01s}

==================================================================

Final Velocity

use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 2.01 s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 19.7 m/s

==================================================================

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 62.0 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.85 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 48.5° w
notka56 [123]

The distance x will the ball land after flies off with a horizontal initial velocity  is 3.0635 m.

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

A small metal ball with a mass of m = 62.0 g is attached to a string of length l = 1.85 m. It is held at an angle of θ = 48.5° with respect to the vertical.

The ball is then released. When the rope is vertical, the ball collides head-on and perfectly elastically with an identical ball originally at rest. This second ball flies off with a horizontal initial velocity from a height of h = 3.76 m, and then later it hits the ground.

The conservation of energy principle states that total mechanical energy remains conserved in all situations where there is no external force acting on the system.

Kinetic energy  = Potential energy

1/2 mv² =mgh₁

The velocity at the bottom, when the height h = 5m, is

v= √2gh₁...................(1)

The vertical height h₁ = l- lcosθ

h₁ = l- lcosθ

h₁ = 1.85 - 1.85cos48.5°

h₁ =0.6241 m

Putting the values in equation (1), we get

v = √2x 9.81 x0.6241

v = 3.499 m/s

The horizontal distance traveled is

x = vt

x = v x √2h/g

Plug the values, we get

x =  3.499 x √2x3.76 / 9.81

x = 3.0635 m

Thus, the horizontal distance ball travels is  3.0635 m.

. An object has a position given by ~r(t) = [3.0 m − (4.00 m/s)t]ˆı + [6.0 m − (8.00 m/s2 )t 2 ]ˆ , where all quantities are in
kupik [55]

Answer:

(c) 16 m/s²

Explanation:

The position is r(t) = [3.0 \text{ m} - (4.00 \text{ m/s})t]\hat{i} + [6.0 \text{m} - (8.00 \text{ m/s}^2 )t^2 ]\hat{j}.

The velocity is the first time-derivative of <em>r(t).</em>

<em />v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}r(t) = -4.00\,\hat{i} -16t\,\hat{j}<em />

The acceleration is the first time-derivative of the velocity.

a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt} v(t) = -16\hat{j}

Since <em>a(t)</em> does not have the variable <em>t</em>, it is constant. Hence, at any time,

a = -16\hat{j}

Its magnitude is 16 m/s².

Answer:

1) The matter absorbs or reflects the light

2) Lens

3) <u><em>Concave</em></u>- curves inwards.  Diverges light

b.<u><em>Convex</em></u>- curves outward.  Converges light

4) The image is real if the distance of the object from the lens is greater than the focal length and virtual if it is less than the focal length

5) Lens and, for convex lenses, on the distance between the lens and the object.
