A ball with an initial velocity of 5 m/s rolls off a horizontal table with a height of 1.0

Physics

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.)

Jasper made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties
Nata [24]

Answer:

Statement 2 is wrong

Explanation:

To check the statements in this exercise, let's describe the main properties of electromagnetic waves. Let's describe the characteristics

* they are transverse waves

* formed by the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

* the speed of the wave is the speed of light

with these concepts let's review the final statements

1) True. Formed by the oscillation of the two fields

2) False. They are transverse waves

3) True. Can travel by vacuum as they are supported by oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

4) True. They all have the same speed of light

Statement 2 is wrong
