Answer:

The ball would hit the floor approximately 0.55\; \rm s after leaving the table.

The ball would travel approximately 5.5\; \rm m horizontally after leaving the table.

(Assumption: g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.)

Explanation:

Let \Delta h denote the change to the height of the ball. Let t denote the time (in seconds) it took for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table. Let v_0(\text{vertical}) denote the initial vertical velocity of this ball.

If the air resistance on this ball is indeed negligible:\displaystyle \Delta h = -\frac{1}{2}\, g\, t^{2} + v_0(\text{vertical}) \cdot t.

The ball was initially travelling horizontally. In other words, before leaving the table, the vertical velocity of the ball was v_0(\text{vertical}) = 0 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

The height of the table was 1.5\; \rm m. Therefore, after hitting the floor, the ball would be 1.5\; \rm m \! below where it was before leaving the table. Hence, \Delta h = -1.5\;\rm m.

The equation becomes:

\displaystyle -1.5 = -\frac{9.81}{2} \, t^{2}.

Solve for t:

\displaystyle t = \sqrt{1.5 \times \frac{2}{9.81}} \approx 0.55.

In other words, it would take approximately 0.55\; \rm s for the ball to hit the floor after leaving the table.

Since the air resistance on the ball is negligible, the horizontal velocity of this ball would be constant (at v(\text{horizontal}) =10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}) until the ball hits the floor.

The ball was in the air for approximately t = 0.55\; \rm s and would have travelled approximately v(\text{horizontal})\cdot t \approx 5.5\;\rm m horizontally during the flight.

An 8.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series with a battery. The potential difference across the 6.0-ohm r
ipn [44]

Answer:

a) 14 Ω

b) 2.0 A

c) 28 V

Explanation:

a) The total resistance of resistors in series is the sum:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 8.0 Ω + 6.0 Ω

R = 14 Ω

b) The current in the 6.0 Ω resistor can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = I (6.0 Ω)

I = 2.0 A

c) Since the resistors are in series, they have the same current.  So the total voltage is:

V = IR

V = (2.0 A) (14 Ω)

V = 28 V

Here is the answer of the given problem above.
Use this formula: <span>P = FV = ma*at = ma^2 t
</span><span>Substitute the values, and therefore, we got m(a0)^2t = m(x)^2 (2t)
then, solve for x which is the acceleration at 2t.

Projectiles that strike objects are good examples of inelastic collisions. A 0.1 kg nail driven by a gas powered nail driver col
Ratling [72]
In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find v_f, the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}=  0.48 m/s

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
p_i = mv_i = p_f
Rearranging the formula, we can find v_i, the velocity of the nail before the collision:
v_i =  \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s
