If a ball is dropped from rest and falls 8 m to the ground, what is the speed just before it

Physics
1 answer:
Natalija [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

12.5m/s

Explanation:

(Assuming the question was asking for the speed just before it hit the ground)

We can use the first key equation of accelerated motion

Vf^2 = Vi^2+2aΔd

Vf^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(8) (plugged in values, initial velocity is 0 since the ball was at rest)

Vf^2 = 156.8

Vf = 12.5 (squared both sides)

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Comparison Microscope

Explanation:

The Comparison Microscope allows for comparison between two objects or samples by placing them side by side.

It is primarily used in criminology for ballistics which makes it ideal to find out if bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon.

An open organ pipe of length 0.47328 m and another pipe closed at one end of length 0.702821 m are sounded together. What beat f
sineoko [7]

Answer:

fb = 240.35 Hz

Explanation:

In order to calculate the beat frequency generated by the first modes of each, organ and tube, you use the following formulas for the fundamental frequencies.

Open tube:

f=\frac{v_s}{2L}         (1)

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

L: length of the open tube = 0.47328m

You replace in the equation (1):

f=\frac{343m/s}{2(0.47228m)}=362.36Hz      

Closed tube:

f'=\frac{v_s}{4L'}

L': length of the closed tube = 0.702821m

f'=\frac{343m/s}{4(0.702821m)}=122.00Hz

Next, you use the following formula for the beat frequency:

f_b=|f-f'|=|362.36Hz-122.00Hz|=240.35Hz

The beat frequency generated by the first overtone pf the closed pipe and the fundamental of the open pipe is 240.35Hz

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

His launching angle was 14.72°

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a graphic representation of the problem.

In a parabolic movement, the velocity and displacement vectors are two-component vectors because the object moves along the horizontal and vertical axis.

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant, while the vertical component has a negative acceleration due to gravity. Then, the velocity can be written as follows:

v = (vx, vy)

where vx is the component of v in the horizontal and vy is the component of v in the vertical.

In terms of the launch angle, each component of the initial velocity can be written using the trigonometric rules of a right triangle (see attached figure):

sin angle = opposite / hypotenuse

cos angle = adjacent / hypotenuse

In our case, the side opposite the angle is the module of v0y and the side adjacent to the angle is the module of vx. The hypotenuse is the module of the initial velocity (v0). Then:

sin angle = v0y / v0  then: v0y = v0 * sin angle

In the same way for vx:

vx = v0 * cos angle

Using the equation for velocity in the x-axis we can find the equation for the horizontal position:

dx / dt = v0 * cos angle

dx = (v0 * cos angle) dt (integrating from initial position, x0, to position at time t and from t = 0 and t = t)

x - x0 = v0 t cos angle

x = x0 + v0 t cos angle

For the displacement in the y-axis, the velocity is not constant because the acceleration of the gravity:

dvy / dt = g ( separating variables and integrating from v0y and vy and from t = 0 and t)

vy -v0y = g t

vy = v0y + g t

vy = v0 * sin angle + g t

The position will be:

dy/dt = v0 * sin angle + g t

dy = v0 sin angle dt + g t dt (integrating from y = y0 and y and from t = 0 and t)

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

The displacement vector at a time "t" will be:

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²)

If the launching and landing positions are at the same height, then the displacement vector, when the object lands, will be (see figure)

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, 0)

The module of this vector will be the the total displacement (65 m)

module of r = \sqrt{(x0 + v0* t* cos angle)^{2} }  

65 m = x0 + v0 t cos angle ( x0 = 0)

65 m / v0 cos angle = t

Then, using the equation for the position in the y-axis:

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

0 =  y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

replacing t =  65 m / v0 cos angle and y0 = 0

0 = 65m (v0 sin angle / v0 cos angle) + 1/2 g (65m / v0 cos angle)²  

cancelating v0:

0 = 65m (sin angle / cos angle) + 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)

-65m (sin angle / cos angle) = 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)  

using g = -9.8 m/s²

-(sin angle / cos angle) * (cos² angle) = -318.5 m²/ s² / v0²

sin angle * cos angle = 318.5 m²/ s² / (36 m/s)²

(using trigonometric identity: sin x cos x = sin (2x) / 2

sin (2* angle) /2 = 0.25

sin (2* angle) = 0.49

2 * angle = 29.44

<u>angle = 14.72°</u>
