My guess would be because the gravity from the Earth's core is constantly pulling the ball towards the ground. It's like the moon. Why doesn't the moon just float away in space? Because Earth's gravitational pull keeps it rotating around it. Therefore, the ball will always be pulled towards the core which keeps it from from rolling forever due to friction. But i may be wrong, even though this a quite a good answer, hope it is right!
The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>
Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.
Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.
The length of the window s is given by,
The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.
The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,
the height of the roof is 3.57 m
Answer:
4.28 s
Explanation:
after two seconds (2 s) His friends is
d = 3.5 m/s x 2 s = 7 meter ahead.
in this state, a bicylist start from initial velocity vo = 0 m/s and accelerat 2.4 m/s²
then, when bicylist reach his friend
t friend = t bicyclist = t
d bicylist = d friend + d
-------
d friend = 3.5 . t
d bicylist = vo . t + ½ a t²
d friend + d = vo . t + ½ a t²
3.5 t + 7 = 0 . t + ½ . 2.4 . t²
3.5 t + 7 = 1.2 t²
0 = 1.2 t² - 3.5 t - 7
t = -1.363 and t = 4.28
take the positive one
