If you drop a ball, how far does it fall in .5 seconds?

1 answer:

5 0

Taking g = 10m/s,

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Time (t) = 0.5s
d = ut + 1/2 (gt²)
d = 0 + 1/2 (10x0.5²)
d = 1/2 (5/2)
d = 5/4
d = 1.25m

A girl is whirling a ball on a string around her head in

Answer:

Explanation:

The girl whirling the ball should let go off ball when the ball is at a position such that tangent to the circle is in the direction of the target.

the tangent at any point in a circular path indicates the direction of velocity at that point. And the moment when the centripetal force is removed the ball will follow the tangential path at that moment.

Professional Application. A 96 kg football player catches a 0.900 kg ball with his feet off the ground with both of them moving

Zarrin [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum.

This definition can be expressed as

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$

Where

$m_{1,2}$ = Mass of each object

$u_{1,2}$ = Initial Velocity of each object

$V_f$ = Final velocity

Rearranging the equation to find the final velocity we have,

$V_f = \frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

Our values are given as

$m_1 = 96Kg\\m_2 = 0.9Kg\\u_1 = 6.3m/s\\u_2 = 27.4m/s$

Replacing we have,

$V_f = \frac{(96)(6.3)+(0.9)(27.4)}{(96+0.9)}$

$V_f = 6.4959m/s$

Therefore the final velocity is 6.5m/s

Two objects, A and B, each of mass o.22 kg, are moving at 0.34 m/s directly toward each other. What is the speed of Object A aft

ki77a [65]

Theoretically, if the objects have the same mass and are moving towards each other at a speed of $0.34m s^{-1}$ , after a perfectly elastic collision, the object A is supposed to move with the same velocity in the opposite direction.
