A ball is thrown nearly vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall building. It just misses the cornice on the wa

y down, and passes a point 160 ft below its starting point 5 sec after it leaves the thrower’s hand. (a) What was the initial velocity of the ball? (b) How high did it rise above its starting point? (c) What was the magnitude of its velocity as it passed a point 64 ft below the starting point?

Answer:

a) 48.5 ft/s

b) 36.5 ft

c) -80.3 ft/s

Explanation:

a)

The equation of motion of the ball is :

y(t) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * t^2 + Vo*t

Where Vo is the initial velocity

If y(5s) = - 160 ft:

-160 ft = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (5 s)^2 + Vo*(5s)

Solving for Vo

Vo = (16.1*25- 160) ft / 5s = 48.5 ft/s

b)

To answer this question we must first know when the velocity became zero, at this time is when the ball was at its highest point.

v(t) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * t + Vo

t = Vo/32.2ft/s^2 = 1.5 s

And now, the highest point which the ball reached is given by:

y(1.5s) = -16.1 ft/s^2 * (1.5)^2 + Vo*(1.5s)

y(1.5s) = 36.52 ft

c)

We now need the time at which y(t') = -64 ft

-64 = -16.1*t'^2 + 48.5*t'

By means of the quadratic formula, we find that

t' = 4.00498 s ≈ 4 s

And the velocity at t = 4s is:

v(4s) = -32.2 ft/s^2 * 4s +48.5 ft/s = -80.3 ft/s

A ball of mass m is found to have a weight Wx on Planet X. Which of the following is a correct expression for the gravitational

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Then if the weight is:

Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:

Wx = m*a

Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.

Then, isolating a in that equation we get:

Wx/m = a

Then the correct option is:

B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.

An infinite charged wire with charge per unit length lambda lies along the central axis of a cylindrical surface of radius r and

serg [7]

<h2>The flux through the infinite charged wire along the central axis of a cylindrical surface of radius r and length l is ∅E = E x 2πrl </h2>

Explanation:

let us consider a thin infinitely long straight wire having a uniform charge density λ Cm⁻¹.To determine the field at a distance r from the line charge , we have cylindrical gaussian surface of radius r, length l,and with its axis along the line charge. it has curved surface S₁ , and flat circular ends S₂ and S₃. Obviously, dS₁//E, dS₂ ⊥E , and dS₃ ⊥ E , so, only the curved surface contributes towards the total flux.

∅E = ∫ E.dS = ∫E.dS₁ +∫E.dS₂ +∫E.dS₃

= ∫EdS₁ cos0⁰ +∫EdS₂ cos 90⁰ +∫Eds₃ cos 90⁰

= E∫ds₁₁ +0+0

= E x area of curved surface

∅E = E x 2πrl

You are called as an expert witness to analyze the following auto accident: Car B, of mass 2000 kg, was stopped at a red light w

OLga [1]

Answer:

a). va=17.23 $\frac{m}{s}$ or 38.54 mph

b). v=38.54 mph and limit is 35 mph

c). Completely inelastic

d). Eka=192.967 kJ

Ekt=76.071 kJ

Explanation:

$m_{a}=1300kg\\m_{b}=2000kg\\x_{f}=7.25m\\u_{k}=0.65$

The motion is an inelastic collision so

$m_{a}*v_{a}+m_{b}*v_{b}=(m_{a}+m_{b})*v_{f}$

The force of the motion is contrarest by the force of friction so

$F-F_{uk} =0\\F=F_{uk}\\F_{uk}=u_{k}*m*g\\F=m*a\\a=\frac{F}{m}\\ a=\frac{F_{uk}}{m}\\a=\frac{u_{k}*m*g}{m}\\a=u_{k}*g\\a=0.65*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} \\a=6.39\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now with the acceleration can find the time and the velocity final that make the distance 7.25m being united

$x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+2*a*t^{2}\\x_{o}=0\\v_{o}=0\\x_{f}=2*a*t^{2}\\t^{2}=\frac{x_{f}}{2*a}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{7.25m}{6.37\frac{m}{s^{2} } } } \\t=1.06s$

So the velocity final can be find using this time

$v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\v_{o}=0\\v_{f}=6.37\frac{m}{s^{2} } *1.06s\\v_{f}=6.79 \frac{m}{s}$

a).

Replacing in the first equation the final velocity can find the initial velocity

$m_{a}*v_{a}+m_{b}*v_{b}=(m_{a}+m_{b})*v_{f}$

$v_{b}=0$

$v_{a}= \frac{(m_{a}+m_{b)*v_{f}}}{m_{a}}\\v_{a}= \frac{(1300+2000)*6.37}{1300}\\v_{a}=17.23 \frac{m}{s}$

b).

$35mph*\frac{1m}{0.000621371mi} *\frac{1h}{3600s}=15.646\frac{m}{s}$

Velocity limit in m/s is 15.646 m/s and the initial velocity is 17.23 m/s

so is exceeding the speed limit in about 1.58 m/s

or in miles per hour

3.5 mph

c).

The collision is complete inelastic because any mass can be returned to the original mass, so even they are no the same mass however in the moment they move the distance 7.25m as a same mass the motion is considered completely inelastic

d).

$Ek=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}\\ Eka=\frac{1}{2}*1300kg*(17.23\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\Eka=192.967 kJ\\Ekt=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}\\Ekt=\frac{1}{2}*3300kg*(6.79\frac{m}{s})^{2}\\Ekt=76.071 kJ$
