Answer:

a) The velocity of the ball when it hits the ground is -20.5 m/s.

b) To acquire a final velocity of 27.3 m/s, the ball must be thrown from a height of 38 m.

Explanation:

I´ve found the complete question on the web:

<em />

<em>A ball is thrown from a rooftop with an initial downward velocity of magnitude v0=2.9 m/s. The rooftop is a distance above the ground, h= 21 m. In this problem use a coordinate system in which upwards is positive.</em>

<em>(a) Find the vertical component of the velocity with which the ball hits the ground.</em>

<em>(b) If we wanted the ball's final speed to be exactly 27, 3 m/s from what height, h (in meters), would we need to throw it with the same initial velocity?</em>

<em />

The equation of the height and velocity of the ball at any time "t" are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

h = height of the ball at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at a time "t".

First, let´s find the time it takes the ball to reach the ground (the time at which h = 0)

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 21 m - 2.9 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

t = 1.8 s  ( the other solution of the quadratic equation is rejected because it is negative).

Now, using the equation of velocity, let´s find the velocity of the ball at

t = 1.8 s:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -2.9 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 1.8 s

v = -20.5 m/s

The velocity of the ball when it hits the ground is -20.5 m/s.

b) Now we have the final velocity and have to find the initial height. Using the equation of velocity we can obtain the time it takes the ball to acquire that velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

-27.3 m/s = -2.9 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

(-27.3 m/s + 2.9 m/s) / (-9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 2.5 s

The ball has to reach the ground in 2.5 s to acquire a velocity of 27.3 m/s.

Using the equation of height, we can obtain the initial height:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = h0 -2.9 m/s · 2.5 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.5 s)²

-h0 = -2.9 m/s · 2.5 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.5 s)²

h0 = 38 m

To acquire a final velocity of 27.3 m/s, the ball must be thrown from a height of 38 m.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The force is F = 1041.7N

Explanation:

The moment of Inertia I is mathematically evaluated as

               I = MR_A^2

Substituting  1.9kg for M(Mass of the wheel) and \frac{66cm}{2} * \frac{1m}{100cm} = 0.33m for R_A(Radius of wheel)

              I = 1.9 * 0.33^2

                = 0.207kgm^2

The torque on the wheel due to net force is mathematically represented as

                      \tau = FR_B  - F_rR_A

Substituting  135 N for F_r (Force acting on sprocket),\frac{8.7cm}{2} * \frac{1m}{100cm} = 0.0435m for R_B (radius of the chain) and F is the force acting on the sprocket due to the chain which is unknown for now

                     \tau = F (0.0435) - 135 (0.33)

This same torque due to the net force is the also the torque that is required to rotate the wheel to have an angular acceleration of \alpha  = 3.70 rad/s^2 and this torque can also be represented mathematically as

                   \tau = \alpha I

Now equating the two equation for torque

                                F (0.0435) - 135 (0.33) = \alpha I    

Making F the subject

                     F = \frac{\alpha I + (135*0.33) }{0.0435}

Substituting values

                  F = \frac{(3.70 * 0.207)  + (135*0.33)}{0.0435}

                       = 1041.7N

What is light? Makes thing visible?
Alecsey [184]

Yes, light enters your eye and makes things visible. It's only a small portion of the elctromagnetic spectrum. It's called "visible light." What other things does the question want to know? I could go in a describe what light really is but I think itd be unnecessary.

My mass is 65 kg and on Earth this equals a weight of 640 N, but on the moon where gravity is 1.7 m/s² my
Helen [10]

Your weight on the moon given the data from the question is 110.5 N

<h3>Definition of mass and weight </h3>

Mass is simply defined as the quantity of matter present in an object. The mass of an object is constant irrespective of the location of the object.

Weight is simply defined as the gravitational pull on an object. The weight of an object varies from place to place due to gravity.

<h3>Relationship between mass and weight </h3>

Mass and weight are related according to the following equation

Weight (W) = mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

<h3>How to determine the weight on the moon</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 65 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g) = 1.7 m/s²
  • Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 65 × 1.7

W = 110.5 N

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

You have a displacement of 5 units to the right.

Explanation:

First you go three to the right which lands on the 3 mark. Then you move it 4 to the left which substracts 4, landing the object at -1. Finally you move 6 to the right, and you finish at marker 5. Since displacement is not total distance but just final distance from the start point directly to end point, it is only a displacement of 5.
