F = ma
F = 200N, a = 2.5m/s^2

200N = (2.5)m
m = 80kg

Answer:

mass = 80 kg

Explanation:

As per Newton's II law we know that

$F = ma$

here we know that

$F = 200 N$

also we know that

$a = 2.5 m/s^2$

so from above formula we have

$200 = m(2.5)$

$m = \frac{200}{2.5}$

$m = 80 kg$

A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building of height h. At the same instant, a second ball is projected vertically u

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) $t = \sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}}$

b) Ball 1 has a greater speed than ball 2 when they are passing.

c) The height is the same for both balls = 3h/4.

Explanation:

a) We can find the time when the two balls meet by equating the distances as follows:

$y = y_{0_{1}} + v_{0_{1}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{0_{1}}$ : is the initial height = h

$v_{0_{1}}$ : is the initial speed of ball 1 = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

$y = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Now, for ball 2 we have:

$y = y_{0_{2}} + v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{0_{2}}$ : is the initial height of ball 2 = 0

$y = v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (2)

By equating equation (1) and (2) we have:

$h - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$t=\frac{h}{v_{0_{2}}}$

Where the initial velocity of the ball 2 is:

$v_{f_{2}}^{2} = v_{0_{2}}^{2} - 2gh$

Since $v_{f_{2}}^{2}$ = 0 at the maximum height (h):

$v_{0_{2}} = \sqrt{2gh}$

Hence, the time when they pass each other is:

$t = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2gh}} = \sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}}$

b) When they are passing the speed of each one is:

For ball 1:

$v_{f_{1}} = - gt = -g*\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}} = - 0.71\sqrt{gh}$

The minus sign is because ball 1 is going down.

For ball 2:

$v_{f_{2}} = v_{0_{2}} - gt = \sqrt{2gh} - g*\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}} = (\sqrt{1} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})*\sqrt{gh} = 0.41\sqrt{gh}$

Therefore, taking the magnitude of ball 1 we can see that it has a greater speed than ball 2 when they are passing.

c) The height of the ball is:

For ball 1:

$y_{1} = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = h - \frac{1}{2}g(\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}})^{2} = \frac{3}{4}h$

For ball 2:

$y_{2} = v_{0_{2}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = \sqrt{2gh}*\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}} - \frac{1}{2}g(\sqrt{\frac{h}{2g}})^{2} = \frac{3}{4}h$

Then, when they are passing the height is the same for both = 3h/4.

I hope it helps you!

Explain why an experiment should test only one variable at a time

padilas [110]

We use only one variable at a time to find the accurate result. We want to see how the result of experiment changes everytime with a single variable.
