Answer:

The second ball lands 1.5 s after the first ball.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 12 m/s

height of fall, h = 35 m

initial velocity of the second, v = 12 m/s

Time taken for the first ball to land;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =\sqrt{ \frac{2*35}{9.8}}\\\\t = 2.67 \ s

determine the maximum height reached by the second ball;

v² = u² -2gh

at maximum height, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 12² - (2 x 9.8)h

19.6h = 144

h = 144 / 19.6

h = 7.35 m

time to reach this height;

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t_1 =  \sqrt{\frac{2*7.35}{9.8}}\\\\t_1 = 1.23 \ s

Total height above the ground to be traveled by the second ball is given as;

= 7.35 m + 35m

= 42.35 m

Time taken for the second ball to fall from this height;

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2*42.35}{9.8} }\\\\t_2 = 2.94 \ s

total time spent in air by the second ball;

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 1.23 s + 2.94 s

T = 4.17 s

Time taken for the second ball to land after the first ball is given by;

t = 4.17 s -  2.67 s

T = 1.5 s

Therefore, the second ball lands 1.5 s after the first ball.

Problem 3.2 Part A Draw the vector C⃗ =A⃗ +B⃗ .(Figure 1)
Elodia [21]
I can't answer this question without a figure. I've found a similar problem as shown in the first picture attached. When adding vectors, you don't have to add the magnitudes only, because vectors also have to factor in the directions. To find the resultant vector C, connect the end tails of the individual vectors. <em>The red line (second picture) represents the vector C.</em>

An object moves in a straight path. Its position x as a function of time t is presented by the equation x(t) = at – bt2+c, where
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

x(t) = at – bt2+c

a) x(t) = at – bt2+c

Substituting a = 1.4 m/s, b = 0.06 m/s2 and c =50 m gives:

x(t) = 1.4t - 0.06t² + 50

At t = 5, x(5) = 1.4(5) - 0.06(5)² + 50 = 55.5 m

At t = 0, x(0) = 1.4(0) - 0.06(0)² + 50 = 50 m

The average velocity (v) is given as:

v=\frac{x(5)-x(0)}{5-0}\\ \\v=\frac{55.5-50}{5-0}=1.1\\ \\v=1.1\ m/s

b) x(t) = 1.4t - 0.06t² + 50

At t = 10, x(10) = 1.4(10) - 0.06(10)² + 50 = 58 m

At t = 0, x(0) = 1.4(0) - 0.06(0)² + 50 = 50 m

The average velocity (v) is given as:

v=\frac{x(10)-x(0)}{10-0}\\ \\v=\frac{58-50}{10-0}=0.8\\ \\v=0.8\ m/s

c) x(t) = 1.4t - 0.06t² + 50

At t = 15, x(5) = 1.4(15) - 0.06(15)² + 50 = 57.5 m

At t = 10, x(10) = 1.4(10) - 0.06(10)² + 50 = 58 m

The average velocity (v) is given as:

v=\frac{x(15)-x(10)}{15-10}\\ \\v=\frac{57.5-58}{15-10}=0.1\\ \\v=0.1\ m/s
