<h2>Answer:</h2>
<em><u>(a). 16.741 m/s</u></em>
<em><u>(b). 15.75 m/s</u></em>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>In the question,
Height of the cliff, h = 37 m
Time taken to reach the sound to us = 2.92 s
Speed of the sound in air at room temperature = 343 m/s
Now,
Let us say the speed of the ball = u m/s
So,
Time taken by the ball to reach at the bottom, t is given by,
So,
Splash is heard after = 2.92 s
So,
<u>Time taken by sound to travel the shortest distance along the hypotenuse of the triangle</u> thus formed is,
t = 2.92 - 2.747
t = 0.172 s
Now,
Distance traveled by sound is given by,
So,
In the triangle using the Pythagoras Theorem,
Horizontal distance traveled is,
So,
Speed of throwing of ball is given by,
<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 16.741 m/s.</u></em>
(b).
If,
Speed of sound = 331 m/s
So,
<u>Distance traveled by sound</u> is,
So,
Distance traveled in the horizontal by ball is,
So,
Speed of the ball thrown is given by,
<em><u>Therefore, the speed of the ball = 15.75 m/s.</u></em>
Answer:
The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s
Explanation:
<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to
burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.
We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity
at this height is zero.
To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule
<em>v² = u² + 2gh</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is
the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.
u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²
<em>Substitute these values in the equation above</em>
v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)
v² = 235.2
<em>Take square root for both sides</em>
v = ±
The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value
Then v = -15.34 m/s
<em>The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s</em>
