A ball is released from a tower at a height of 100 meters toward the roof of another tower that is 25 meters high. The horizonta

l distance between the two towers is 20 meters. With what horizontal velocity should the ball be imparted so that it lands on the rooftop of the second building?

Let's figure out how long it will take to fall 75 meters, from the 1st roof to the second roof. We can assume that gravity is the only force affecting vertical velocity, so the ball starts from rest and accelerates downward at g, or -9.8m/s².

Let's find how long it takes to fall 75 meters:
s(t) = Vi + (1/2)*a*t²,
where s(t) is displacement as a function of time, Vi is initial velocity (zero), and a is acceleration. Plugging in our values:
-75 = 0 + (1/2)(-9.8)(t²)      Multiply both sides by 2/-9.8
15.3 = t²                             Take the square root of both sides
t = 3.91

We need to the ball to travel 20 meters horizontally before it hits the roof in 3.91 seconds. We can assume that the horizontal velocity remains constant (a=0, Vi=V(t) for all t). 
Therefore, the minimum horizontal velocity is:
D = V*t , simple distance formula, distance equals velocity times time:
20 = V * 3.91       Divide both sides by 3.91
V = 5.11

The horizontal velocity, therefore, must be at least 5.11m/s in order for the ball to reach the roof of the second building.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The answer to this question is "Greater than". As per the OSHA or Organizational Health and Health Organization, a noise level of 95 DB or decibels is greater than the lowest level at which hearing protection is required in 85 decibels and the person's exposure should be limited only to six hours or less than of it.

A more realistic car would cause the wheels to spin in a manner that would result in the ground pushing it forward with a consta
-Dominant- [34]

The car would go from  zero to 58.0 mph in 2.6 sec.

Since the force on the car is constant, therefore the acceleration of the car would also be constant.

Now for constant acceleration we can use the equation of motion

Using first equation of motion to calculate the acceleration of the car

v=u+at

29=0+a×1.30       ...... Eq. (1)

Again using the first equation of motion

58=0+a*t             ....... Eq. (2)

Dividing eq. (2) with equation 1

t=2×1.3

t=2.6 sec

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

after the sun sets or just as it is setting

Explanation:

a crescent moon is thin and reflects less sunlight during the daylight sky so it becomes difficult to spot, but can be spotted when the sun is setting or just sets.
