If someone were to drop an orb from a height of 34,000 meters approximately, and then drop a second orb at 34,100 meters, estima

te how long it would take for the second orb to reach the ground if it takes the first orb 55~ seconds to impact.
Extra Info:
-The first orb weights 2 pounds and the second orb weights only 2.5 pounds.
-The ground is entirely flat and level. (as if you smashed a flattening board into the ground)
-They are both dropped with no force put into it, simply held up and let go of.
-Both Orbs are the same size, just different density.
-The heights are estimates and are not exact, hence the answer can be an estimated one.

(this question sparked from boredom ._.)
If info required I can provide.

Answer:

Explanation:

SO the ball falls 618 meters per second meaning that's how fast 2 pounds fall per second so i have to find out how fast .5 pounds falls which i think its 154 meters per second per .5 pounds meaning the second orb would fall 772 meters per second so the second orb would take 44.1 seconds to hit on impact. Im not sure if this is right but this is my best guess.

Starting from rest, a 2.1x10-4 kg flea springs straight upward. While the flea is pushing off from the ground, the ground exerts
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1.327363 m/s

0.00090243 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

m = Mass of flea

Energy

E=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow 3.7\times 10^{-4}=2.1\times 10^{-4}(v^2-0)\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=1.32736\ m/s

The velocity of the flea when leaving the ground is 1.327363 m/s

W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{W}{F}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-4}}{0.41}\\\Rightarrow s=0.00090243\ m

The flea will travel 0.00090243 m upward

A boy on rollerskates is travelling along at 8 m/s. He has a mass of 60 kg and is carrying his
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

the original momentum = mass x velocity = 8x (60+10) = 560

momentum after = mass x velocity of the school bag + mass x velocity of the boy = 10x20 + 60x A

200+60A = 560

A=6

A cannon ball is fired directly upward with a velocity of 160 m/s. How long does it take to fall back to the ground? s How fast
Andrej [43]
To answer this problem, we will use the equations of motions.

Part (a):
For the ball to start falling back to the ground, it has to reach its highest position where its final velocity will be zero.
The equation that we will use here is:
v = u + at where
v is the final velocity = 0 m/sec
u is the initial velocity = 160 m/sec
a is acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/sec^2 (the negative sign is because the ball is moving upwards, thus, its moving against gravity)
t is the time that we want to find.
Substitute in the equation to get the time as follows:
v = u + at
0 = 160 - 9.8t
9.8t = 160
t = 160/9.8 = 16.3265 sec
Therefore, the ball would take 16.3265 seconds before it starts falling back to the ground

Part (b):
First, we will get the total distance traveled by the ball as follows:
s = 0.5 (u+v)*t
s = 0.5(160+0)*16.3265
s = 1306.12 meters
The equation that we will use to solve this part is:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as where
v is the final velocity we want to calculate
u is the initial velocity of falling = 0 m/sec (ball starting falling when it reached the highest position, So, the final velocity in part a became the initial velocity here)
a is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (positive as ball is moving downwards)
s is the distance covered = 1306.12 meters
Substitute in the above equation to get the final velocity as follows:
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v^2 = (0)^2 + 2(9.8)(1306.12)
v^2 = 25599.952 m^2/sec^2
v = 159.99985 m/sec
Therefore, the velocity of the ball would be 159.99985 m/sec when it hits the ground.

klasskru [66]
Work formula:
W = F * d
F 1 = 40 N, d 1 = 6 m;
F 2 = 30 N; d 2 = 6 m.
W ( Cindy ) = 40 * 6 = 240 Nm
W ( Andy ) = 30 * 6 = 180 Nm
The difference of their amounts if work:
240 Nm - 180  Nm = 60 nm

hope it helps!
