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.

Naddika [18.5K]
100 g lead target. Lead has a very high density which means even a very small volume and weight quite a lot. So because the lead target weighs only 100 g it's going to be small in size compared to other targets which are all made of lesser dense materials than lead.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The power she can generate is 185.22 KW.

Explanation:

<h3><u>DATA</u></h3>

3.00m wide and 0.500m deep.

Cross sectional area = 1.500m^2

Velocity = 1.35m/s

Volumetric flow rate = Av = 18.00m^3/s

Mass flow rate = 18,000kg/s

Height = 4.20m

25.0% efficiency

<h3><u> FORMULA:</u></h3>

P = dE / dt * eff

<h3><u>SOLUTION:</u></h3>

18,000kg/s (9.8m/s^2) (4.20m) (25%) = 185,220 watts

= 185 kw

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Angular momentum ( L ) = moment of inertia x angular velocity ( I X ω )

Moment of inertia of two  480 g masses about axle = 2 x mr²  = 2 x 480 x10⁻³ x( 24 x 10 ⁻ 2 )²  = 0. 552960  kg m².

Angular velocity = 5 rad / s.

Angular momentum = 0.552960 x 5 = 2.765 kg m2.

The direction of angular momentum will be along axle.So vector angular

momentum  makes zero degree  with axle.
