Answer:

Approximately 0.45\; \rm s, assuming that air resistance is negligible and that g = 9.81\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}.

Explanation:

The ball starts to fall the moment it rolls of the edge of the table.

  • Let h_{0} denote the initially height of this ball.
  • Let v_{0} denote the initial vertical velocity of this ball.

Assume that gravity is the only force acting on the ball during its fall (that is, there's no air resistance to slow the ball down.) The vertical acceleration of this ball during the fall would be constantly equal to (-g) (negative because the ball is accelerating downwards.)

The following SUVAT equation would give the height h of this ball at time t:

\displaystyle h = \frac{1}{2}\, (-g)\cdot t^{2} + v_{0} \cdot t + h_{0}.

Since the table is horizontal, the vertical velocity of this ball would be 0 the moment it rolls of the edge. In other words: v_{0} = 0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

The initial height of this ball when it rolls of the table is h_{0} = 1.0\; \rm m, same as the height of the table.

Hence, the height h of this ball at time t would be:

\begin{aligned}h &= \frac{1}{2}\, (-g)\cdot t^{2} + v_{0} \cdot t + h_{0} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\, (-g) \cdot t^{2} + h_{0}\end{aligned}.

At t = 0\; \rm s, the height of this ball would be 1.0\; \rm m. The ball would be on the ground by the time h = 0\; \rm m, Set the right-hand side of this equation to 0 and solve for the time t at which the ball is on the ground:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, (-g) \cdot t^{2} + h_{0} = 0.

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, (-g) \cdot t^{2} = - h_{0}.

\displaystyle t = \sqrt{\frac{2\, h_{0}}{g}}.

Substitute in the values h_{0} = 1.0\; \rm m and g = 9.81\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}:

\begin{aligned} t &= \sqrt{\frac{2\, h_{0}}{g}} \\ &= \sqrt{\frac{1.0\; \rm m}{9.81\; \rm m\cdot s^{-2}}} \\ &\approx0.45\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

In other words, the ball would be in the air for approximately 0.45\; \rm s. (The initial horizontal velocity of this ball does not affect the duration of this fall.)

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.

Describe each class of lever and explain to characteristics of each
Nataly [62]

-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example:  a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example:  a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.

melomori [17]

The  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.
