PLEASE HELP A student climbs to the top of a press box where the cameras are. He wonders how many meters he is off of the ground

below. So he drops a golfball he had in his pocket, and his friend times how long it takes for the ball to hit the concrete behind the press box. If it takes 1.5 seconds for the ball to hit. What is the height of the rail on top of the press box where the ball was dropped from?

The height of the rail on top of the press box where the ball was dropped from is 11.025 m.

The given parameters:

Time of motion of the ball, t = 1.5 s
Let the height of the rail = h

<h3>Maximum height of fall;</h3>

The maximum height through which the ball was dropped from is calculated by applying second equation of motion;

$h = v_0_y t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} (9.8) (1.5)^2\\\\h = 11.025 \ m$

Thus, the height of the rail on top of the press box where the ball was dropped from is 11.025 m.

zimovet [89]

The old style (incandescent) light bulb converts more energy
into heat than it does into light. If you're using it mainly as a
source of light, then it's a bummer, and its efficiency is very low.
BUT ... if you're using an incandescent light bulb as a heater, then
its efficiency is much better. It all depends on your point of view.

At time t=0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 30.0 rad/s . It has a constant angular acceleration of 35.0 rad/s2 until

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

(A) 570 rad

(B) 10 s

(C) 12.5 rad/s²

Explanation:

The equations of motion for circular motions are used.

Initial angular velocity, $\omega_0 = 30.0 \text{ rad/s}$

Angular acceleration, $\alpha =35.0 \text{ rad/s}^2$

(A)

At <em>t</em> = 2.00 s, the angular displacement, <em>θ</em>, is given by

$\theta = \omega_0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 = (30\times 2) + \frac{1}{2}\times35\times2^2=60+70 = 130\text{ rad}$

After this time, it decelerates through an angular displacement of 440 rad.

Total angular displacement = 130 + 440 rad = 570 rad

(B)

At the time the circuit breaker tips, the angular velocity is given by

$\omega = \omega_0+\alpha t = 30.0+(35.0\times 2) = 30.0+70.0 =100.0\ \text{rad/s}$

This becomes the initial angular velocity for the decelerating motion. Because it stops, the final angular velocity is 0 rad/s. The time for this part of the motion is calculated thus:

$\theta_2 = \left(\dfrac{\omega_i+\omega_f}{2}\right)t$

Here, $\theta_2=440$ (the angular displacement during deceleration)

The subscripts, <em>i</em> and <em>f</em>, on <em>ω</em> denote the initial and final angular velocities during deceleration.

$\omega_i = 100$

$\omega_f = 0$

$t = \dfrac{2\theta_2}{\omega_i} = \dfrac{2\times400}{100} = 8\ \text{s}$

This is the time for deceleration. The deceleration began at <em>t</em> = 2 s.

Hence, the wheel stops at <em>t</em> = 2 + 8 = 10 s.

(C)

The deceleration is given by

$\alpha_R = \dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t} = \dfrac{0-100}{8} = -12.5\text{ rad/s}^2$

The negative sign appears because it is a deceleration.

A hornet circles around a pop can at increasing speed while flying in a path with a 12-cm diameter. We can conclude that the hor

Effectus [21]

Answer:

<em>down, backwards, and outwards.</em>

Explanation:

For a hornet that is accelerating in flight, this means that there is a net forward motion at a relatively constant vertical height above the ground.

For this flight, the <em>wings beat downwards to counter the weight of the hornet due to gravity</em>, keeping it at that height above the floor.

For the hornet to accelerate forward, there has to be a net backwards force by the wing on the air. This backwards force accelerates tr forward due to the absence of an equal opposing force in the opposite direction save for a little drag.

The wings also beat with forces directed outwards to provide centripetal force to keep the hornet stable. <em>The absence of this would cause it to spiral out of control.</em>

Which example is a body fossil? a) dino bones b) shrimp burrow c)dino footprint d)an ornithopod track

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The hard structure like dino bones, teeth and shells are the examples of body fossils.

Option: A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The body fossils are common type of fossils found in the world. <em>These body fossils are formed by the remains of the ‘dead animals and plants’.</em> The body fossils are <em>hard parts of the dino teeth, bones, shells, woody trunks, branches, and stems.</em> The body fossils are formed in different ways and they are the remains of <em>the body parts of ancient animals, plants and other life forms.</em>

<em>They are rarely found in connected nature and are like large vertebrates like dinosaur bones, skulls and teeth’s. </em> The body fossils are also formed in different ways they are formed like a plants or animals dies in a watery environment and they can be buried in mud or silt they cannot decompose.

They build the top and hardens into the rocks at over time sedimentation. Two types of tissues are decomposed, they are soft and hard tissues.in the decomposition of there leaving hard bones, shells and teeth’s are behind and soft tissues are quickly decomposes.
