Two people are standing on the edge of a building that is 42 meters high. One person throws a tennis ball straight downward at a

speed of 16 m/s. At the same exact time, the other person throws a tennis ball straight upward at 16 m/s. How long after the first tennis ball lands will the second tennis ball arrive at the ground?

Answer : 1.67 sec

Explanation :

Time calculation for person 1

Height of the building = 40meters

Initial velocity = 16m/s

Final velocity = 0m/s

Accelaeration = 9.8m/s2

Using first equation of motion

V=u+at

0 = 16 + 9.8t

-16/-9.8 = t

Time = 1.63 seconds

Time calculation for person 2

While the ball is going up

Height of the building = 40meters

Initial velocity = 16m/s

Final velocity = 0m/s

Accelaeration = -9.8m/s2

Using second equation of motion

v2 – u2 = 2as

0-256 = -19.6s

S = -256/-19.6 = 13.06m

Total distance. = 13.06 + 40 = 53.06 meters

Using third equation of motion

S = ut + ½ *a *t*t

S = 0 + ½ *9.8*t*t

T2 = 53.06/4.9

T2 = 10.83

T = 10.83 = 3.3 sec

Diffenrece of time = 3.3 – 1.63 = 1.67 sec

M1 descending
−m1g + T = m1a 

m2 ascending
m2g − T = m2a

this gives :
(m2 − m1)g = (m1 + m2)a 

a = (m2 − m1)g/m1 + m2

In the metric system, the appropriate unit for weight is the _____. gram newton newton/cm2 gram/cm3
Archy [21]

Answer:

Newton

Explanation:

The earth attracts every body towards its centre. The force with which the earth attracts any body towards its centre, is called its weight.

It is a vector quantity.

It always acts towards the centre of earth.

The SI unit of Newton.

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 120 m

Let a be the acceleration of motion

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

0 = 20 x 20 + 2 x a x 120

a = - 1.67 m/s²

Let F be the force

Force, F  mass x acceleration

F = - 1000 x 1.67

F = - 1666.67 N

The direction of force is towards south and the magnitude of force is 1666.67 N.

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>
