The distance traveled by the ball in feet is 66 ft.

The given parameters;

  • speed of the ball, u = 15 miles/hour
  • time of motion of the ball, t = 3 seconds

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed of the ball in feet per second is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{15 \ miles}{hour} \times \frac{5280 \ ft}{1 \ mile} \times \frac{1 \ hour}{3600 \ s} = 22 \ ft/s

The distance traveled by the ball in feet is calculated as follows;

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 22 ft/s x 3 s

Distance = 66 ft

Thus, the distance traveled by the ball in feet is 66 ft.

two cars with initial speed 2v and v, lock their brakes and skid to a stop. what is the ratio of the distance travelled
denpristay [2]

Answer:

4:1

Explanation:

Given that the initial speed of the first car, u = 2v while the initial speed of the second car, u = v. To find the distance travelled, we are going to apply one of the equations of motion. The equation chosen is

v² = u² - 2as, where

s = the distance needed

a = acceleration due to gravity

u = initial velocity which is v & 2v

v = final velocity which is 0

For the first car with initial velocity, 2v, on substituting into the equation, we have

v² = u² - 2as(1)

0 = 4v - 2as(1)

4v = 2as(1)

2v = as(1), making s(1) subject of formula we have

s(1) = 2v/a

Taking the second car, we have u = v

v² = u² - 2as(2)

0 = v - 2as(2)

v = 2as(2), making s(2) subject of formula, we have

s(2) = v/2a

Not, ratio of s1 : s2 =

2v/a : v/2a

s1/s2 = 2v/a ÷ v/2a

s1/s2 = 2v/a * 2a/v

s1/s2 = 4av/av

s1/s2 = 4/1

Therefore, the ratio of the first car to the second car is 4:1

What area of earth contains semi-solid rock and lava?
ioda
Below the crust is the mantle, a dense, hot layer of semi-solid rock approximately 2,900 km thick. The mantle, which contains more iron, magnesium, and calcium than the crust, is hotter and denser because temperature and pressure inside the Earth increase with depth.

Hope this helped! :)

According to a rule-of-thumb. every five seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the f
Bond [772]

Answer:

S_{s}=300 m/s

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Explanation:

In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:

\frac{1mi}{5s}*\frac{5280ft}{1mi}*\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}=321.87m/s

notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.

The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.

For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:

\frac{5s}{1mi}*\frac{1mi}{5280ft}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048m}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=3.11s/km

This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

A wedge with an inclination of angle θ rests next to a wall. A block of mass m is sliding down the plane. There is no friction b
Softa [21]

Answer:

  The net force on the block  F(net)  = mgsinθ).

   Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Explanation:

(a)

Here, m is the mass of the block, n is the normal force, \thetaθ is the wedge angle, and Fw  is the force exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Since the block sliding down, the net force on the block is along the plane of the wedge that is equal to horizontal component of weight of the block.

                    F(net)  = mgsinθ

The net force on the block  F(net)  = mgsinθ).

The direction of motion of the block is along the direction of net force acting on the block. Since there is no frictional force between the wedge and block, the only force acting on the block along the direction of motion is mgsinθ.

(b)

From the free body diagram, the normal force n is equal to mgcosθ .

                           n=mgcosθ

The horizontal component of normal force on the block is equal to force

                           Fw=n*sin(θ) that exerted by the wall on the wedge.

Substitute mgcosθ for n in the above equation;

                           Fw =mg(cosθ)(sinθ)

Since, there is no friction between the wedge and the wall, there is component force acting on the wall to restrict the motion of the wedge on the surface and that force is arises from the horizontal component for normal force on the block.
