A ball is thrown straight up from ground level. It passes a 2-m-high window. The bottom of the window is 7.5 m off the ground. T

he time that elapses from when the ball passes the bottom of the window on the way up, to when it passes the top of the window on the way back down is 1.3 s.
What was the ball’s initial speed, in meters per second?

Answer:

u=14.48m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height of window h=2m

Height of window off the ground h_g=7.5m

Time to fall and drop t=1.3s

 

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Where

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

2=u1.3-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.3^2

2=u1.3-8.281

u=7.91m/s^2  

Generally the Newton's equation motion  is mathematically given by

2as=v^2-u^2

Where

-2gh_g=v^2-u^2

-2*9.8*7.5=(7.91)^2-u^2

-147=62.5681-u^2

u=\sqrt{209.5681}

u=14.48m/s

Therefore the  ball’s initial speed

u=14.48m/s

Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved
ipn [44]

Answer:

1. Elastic collision

2. Inelastic collision    

Explanation:

Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision

the collision is described by the equation bellow

m1U1+ m2U2= m1V1+m2V2

Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity

the collision is described by the equation bellow

m1U1+ m2U2= V(m1+m2)

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat. With what velocity does the jumper strike the mat in the landing area?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m

We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :

v=\sqrt{2gh}

g is acceleration due to gravity

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}

v = 6.26 m/s

So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 448 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.9 kg is attache
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the extension in the spring be x .

restoring force = weight of block

kx = mg

x = \frac{10.9\times9.8}{448}

= 23.84 cm

b )

When the elevator is going upwards

Restoring force = mg + ma

k x₁ = 10.9 ( 9.8 + 1.89 )

x₁ = 28.44 cm

( y coordinate will  be - ( 28.44 - 23.84 ) = - 4.6 cm )

c ) When the cable snaps , both elevator and block undergo free fall . In this case apparent g = 0

Since the spring is stretched by 28.44 cm , a restoring force continues to act on the block which is equal to

.2844 x 448

= 127.41 N

So a net acceleration a will act on the block

a = 127.41 / 10.9

= 11.68 m / s²

The block will undergo SHM with amplitude equal to 28.44 cm .
