Answer:
x₂ / x₁ = √2
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we can use the projectile launch ratios, let's find the time it takes for the second book to reach the ground
y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²
as the book is thrown horizontally v_{oy} = 0, when it reaches the ground its height is zero y= 0
0 = y₀ - ½ g t²
t = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{ g} }[/tex]
t = \sqrt{ \frac{2 \ 2h}{ g} }
with this time we calculate the horizontal distance traveled
x = v₀ t
x₂ = v₀ [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{4h}{g} }[/tex]
now let's calculate the time it takes him to get to the floor when he leaves from the first floor
t =\sqrt{ \frac{2y_o}{ g} }
the horizontal distance traveled is
x₁ = v₀ [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }[/tex]
therefore the difference in distance between the two runs is
Δx = x₂-x₁
Δx = v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{4h}{g} } - v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }
Δx = v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} } √2
Δx =√2 x₁
the relationship between the two distances is
x₂ / x₁ = √2
A solid sphere of radius R = 5 cm is made of non-conducting material and carries a total negative charge Q = -12 C. The charge is uniformly distributed throughout the interior of the sphere.
What is the magnitude of the electric potential V at a distance r = 30 cm from the center of the sphere, given that the potential is zero at r = [infinity] ?
Answer:
V= -3.6*10⁻¹¹ V
Explanation:
Since the charge is uniformly distributed, outside the sphere, the electric field is radial (due to symmetry), so applying Gauss' Law to a spherical surface at r= 30 cm, we can write the following expression:[tex]E* A = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{0} } (1)[/tex]
At r= 0.3 m the spherical surface can be written as follows:[tex]A = 4*\pi *r^{2} = 4*\pi *(0.3m)^{2} (2)[/tex]
Replacing (2) in (1) and solving for E, we have:[tex]E = \frac{Q}{4*\pi *\epsilon_{0}*r^{2} } = \frac{(9e9N*m2/C2)*(-12C)}{(0.3m)^{2} y} (3)[/tex]
Since V is the work done on the charge by the field, per unit charge, in this case, V is simply:V = E. r (4)Replacing (3) in (4), we get:[tex]V =E*r = E*(0.3m) = \frac{(9e9N*m2/C2)*(-12C)}{(0.3m)} = -3.6e11 V (5)[/tex]
V = -3.6*10¹¹ Volts.The electrical potential module will be [tex]-3.6*10^-^1^1 V[/tex]
We can arrive at this answer as follows:
To answer this, we owe Gauss's law. This is because the charge is evenly distributed across the sphere. This will be done as follows:[tex]E*A=\frac{Q}{^E0} \\\\\\A=4*\pi*r^2[/tex]
Solving these equations will have:[tex]E=\frac{Q}{4*\pi*^E0*r^2} \\E= \frac{(9e9N*m2/c2)*(-12C)}{(0.3m)^2y}[/tex]
As we can see, the electric potential is carried out on the field charge. In this case, using the previous equations, we can calculate the value of V as follows:[tex]V=E*r\\V=E*0.3m= \frac{(9e9N*m^2/C2)*(-12C)}{0.3m} \\V= -3.6*10^-^1^1 V.[/tex]

Find an expression for the volume flow rate through the hole. A 4.0-mm-diameter hole is 1.0 m below the surface of a 2.0-m-diameter tank of water. What is the rate, in mm/min, at which the water level will initially drop if the water is not replenished?
Answer:
a)[tex]V=\pi *r^2 * \sqrt{2gd}[/tex]
b)[tex]dh / dt = 0.2658 mm / min[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Diameter of hole [tex]d_h=4mm=>0.004m[/tex]
Depth of hole [tex]D=0mm=>0.001m[/tex]
Diameter of tank [tex]d_t=2mm=>0.002m[/tex]
Generally the equation for pressure is mathematically given as
[tex]Pressure P= \rho*g*d[/tex]
[tex]P= 1/2*\rho *v^2[/tex]
Where
[tex]v = \sqrt {2gd}[/tex]
[tex]V = Area*v[/tex]
[tex]V=\pi *r^2 * \sqrt{2gd}[/tex]
Generally the level at which the water level will initially drop if the water is not replenished is mathematically given by
[tex]dh / dt = (r/R)^2 *sqrt{2gd}\\dh / dt = (2/2000)^2 *sqrt(2*9.81*1) \\dh / dt = 4.429*10^-3 mm/s \\[/tex]
Therefore the level at which the water level will initially drop if the water is not replenished
[tex]dh / dt = 0.2658 mm / min[/tex]
The rate, in mm/min, at which the water level will initially drop will be 1.0625 mm/min.
Given data:
The diameter of hole is, d = 4.0 mm = 0.004 m.
The depth of hole is, h = 1.0 m.
The diameter of tank is, d' = 2.0 m.
The given problem is based on the flow rate, which is defined as the flow of liquid through a given section per unit time.
Let us first obtain the equation of pressure as,
[tex]P=\dfrac{1}{2} \times \rho \times v^{2}[/tex]
Here, v is the velocity of efflux and its value is,
[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v^{2}=2gh[/tex]
And the level at which the water level will initially drop if the water is not replenished is mathematically given by,
[tex]\dfrac{dH}{dt}=(r/R)^{2} \times v[/tex]
Here,
r is the radius of hole.
R is the radius of tank.
Solving as,
[tex]\dfrac{dH}{dt}=((d/2) /(d'/2))^{2} \times \sqrt{2gh} \\\\\dfrac{dH}{dt}=((0.004/2) /(2/2))^{2} \times \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 1}\\\\\dfrac{dH}{dt}=1.77 \times 10^{-5} \;\rm m/s\\\\\dfrac{dH}{dt}=1.77 \times 10^{-5} \times 6 \times 10^{4} \;\rm mm/min\\\\\dfrac{dH}{dt}=1.0625 \;\rm mm/min[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the rate, in mm/min, at which the water level will initially drop will be 1.0625 mm/min.

Two steamrollers begin 105 mm apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. At the same instant, a fly that travels at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s starts from the front roller of the southbound steamroller and flies to the front roller of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front roller of the southbound once again, and continues in this way until it is crushed between the steamrollers in a collision.
Required:
What distance does the fly travel?
Answer: 109.4 mm
Explanation: Distance is a scalar quantity and it is the measure of how much path there are between two locations. It can be calculated as the product of velocity and time: d = vt
The separation between the two steamrollers is 105 mm or 0.105 m. They collide to each other at the middle of the separation:
location of collision = [tex]\frac{0.105}{2}[/tex] = 0.0525 m
To reach that point, both steamrollers will have spent
[tex]v=\frac{\Delta x}{t}[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{\Delta x}{v}[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{0.0525}{1.2}[/tex]
t = 0.04375 s
The fly is travelling with speed of 2.5 m/s. So, at t = 0.04375 s:
d = 2.5*0.04375
d = 0.109375 m
Until it is crushed, the fly will have traveled 109.4 mm.

Explain the movement of a roller coaster in terms of potential and kinetic energy? When are these energies thegreatest? Smallest? Are they ever the same?
Answer:
Potential energy: Greatest at the top of the hill
Kinetic energy: Greatest at the bottom of the hill
The two meet at some point on the way down!
Explanation:
Potential energy is energy that represents an object's potential for motion. Kinetic energy is that object's energy during motion. They're two sides of the same coin, and in fact, their sum gets a special name: mechanical energy. Potential energy builds up in reaction to working against certain forces - in the case of the roller coaster, that primary force is gravity. Gravity exerts a downward force on the roller coaster, and it takes work to pull it up the hill.
When it reaches the peak, the coasters potential energy is at its highest, and the moment it crests over the hill and begins its descent, that gravitational potential energy starts converting into kinetic energy: the coaster starts accelarating down the track, and the potential energy decreases at the same rate that the kinetic energy increases.
At the bottom of the hill, all of that potential energy has become kinetic energy, and the coaster zooms along the track, hopefully not giving too many riders nausea

The 49-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.45 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins the block, they swing up so that they are 0.44 m higher than the block's starting point.
Required:
How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?
Answer:
the initial speed of the arrow before joining the block is 89.85 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the arrow, m₁ = 49 g = 0.049 kg
mass of block, m₂ = 1.45 kg
height reached by the arrow and the block, h = 0.44 m
The gravitational potential energy of the block and arrow system;
P.E = mgh
P.E = (1.45 + 0.049) x 9.8 x 0.44
P.E = 6.464 J
The final velocity of the system after collision is calculated as;
K.E = ¹/₂mv²
6.464 = ¹/₂(1.45 + 0.049)v²
6.464 = 0.7495v²
v² = 6.464 / 0.7495
v² = 8.6244
v = √8.6244
v = 2.937 m/s
Apply principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the initial speed of the arrow;
[tex]P_{initial} = P_{final}\\\\mv_{arrow} + mv_{block} = (m_1 + m_2)V\\\\0.049(v) + 1.45(0) = (0.049 + 1.45)2.937\\\\0.049v = 4.4026\\\\v = \frac{4.4026}{0.049} \\\\v = 89.85 \ m/s[/tex]
Therefore, the initial speed of the arrow before joining the block is 89.85 m/s
The arrow moving as the speed of "76.36 m/s".
According to the question,
By using the conservation of energy, we have
→ [tex]K.E=P.E[/tex]
→ [tex]\frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_2^2= (m_1+m_2)gh[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]v_2 = \sqrt{2mgh}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we have
→ [tex]= \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.44}[/tex]
→ [tex]=2.469 \ m/s[/tex]
Now,
By using the conservation of momentum, we get
→ [tex]m_1 v_1 = (m_1+m_2) v_2[/tex]
or,
→ [tex]v_1 = \frac{(m_1+m_2)v_2}{m_1}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{1.45+0.049}{0.049}\times 2.469[/tex]
[tex]= 30.6\times 2.496[/tex]
[tex]= 76.36 \ m/s[/tex]

A car is traveling on a straight road at a constant 35 m/sm/s, which is faster than the speed limit. Just as the car passes a police motorcycle that is stopped at the side of the road, the motorcycle accelerates forward in pursuit. The motorcycle passes the car 13.5 ss after starting from rest. What is the acceleration of the motorcycle (assumed to be constant)
Answer:
2.59m/s
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion
v = u+at
v is the final velocity = 35ms
u is the initially velocity = 9m/s
t is the time = 13.5s
a is the acceleration
Substitute into the formula
35 = 0+13.5a
a = 35/13.5
a = 2.59m/s²
Hence the acceleration of the motorcycle is 2.59m/s

When a ball of mass m makes a head-on elastic collision with a second ball (at rest) and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed equal to one-fourth its original speed, then mass of the second ball having v/3 is velocity after collision is 9m/4.
What is momentum ?Momentum is defined as mass times velocity of body. it is denoted by p and its SI unit is Kg.m/s. It has both magnitude and direction. it is a vector quantity. it tells about the moment of the body. it is denoted by p and expressed in kg.m/s. mathematically it is written as p = mv. A body having zero velocity or zero mass has zero momentum. its dimensions is [M¹ L¹ T⁻¹]. Momentum is conserved throughout the motion.
initial momentum = final momentum
Given,
mass of first body m₁ = m
initial velocity of first body = v₁' = v
final velocity of first body = v₁'' =v/4
mass of second body m₂ = ?
initial velocity of second body = v₂' = 0
final velocity of second body = v₂'' = v/3
According to conservation of momentum,
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁' + m₂v₂' = m₁v₁'' + m₂v₂''
putting al above values
m₁v + 0 = m₁v/4 + m₂v/3
m₁v - m₁v/4 = m₂v/3
m (1 - 1/4)v = m₂v/3
3m/4 = m₂/3
m₂ = 9m/4
Hence mass of the second body is 9m/4.

When a moving object collides with an object that isn't moving, what happens to the kinetic energy of each object?
All the objects are motionless, so kinetic energy of each object is zero after the collision.
What is Kinetic Energy?The kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy which is possesses due to its motion. It is the work required to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. This energy is gained during its acceleration, the body maintains the kinetic energy as long as its momentum does not change.
Kinetic Energy can be expressed as
[tex]K.E.=[/tex] [tex]1/2 mv^2[/tex]
Where, m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity.
It is expressed in joules (J).
After the collision all the objects are at rest, therefore, the final kinetic energy is also zero which shows maximum loss of kinetic energy. Such collisions are called perfectly inelastic.
Thus, all the objects are motionless, so kinetic energy of each object is zero after the collision.

The time it takes the bricks to reach the ground will be:________.
a. less but not necessarily half as long for the heavier brick
b. about half as long for the lighter brick
c. less but not necessarily half as long for the lighter brick
d. about half as long for the heavier brick
e. about the same time for both bricks
Answer:
e.
Explanation:
Assuming that the air resistance is neglectable, both bricks are only accelerated by gravity, which produces a constant acceleration on both bricks, which is the same, according Newton's 2nd Law, as we can see below:[tex]F_{g} = m*g = m*a (1)[/tex]⇒a = g = 9.8m/s² (pointing downward)Since acceleration is constant, if both fall from the same height, we can apply the following kinematic equation:[tex]\Delta y = v_{o} * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (2)[/tex]
Since both bricks are held off the edge, the initial speed is zero, so (2) reduces to the following equation:[tex]h =\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (3)[/tex]
Since h (the height of the balcony) is the same, we conclude that both bricks hit ground at exactly the same time.If the air resistance is not negligible, due both bricks have zero initial speed, and have the same shape, they will be affected by the drag force in similar way, so they will reach the ground at approximately the same time.What Coulombs discovered almost 300

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0N, the second child exerts a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the most of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kga)what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated
Answer:
Explanation:
75 N and 90 N are acting in opposite direction so net force = 90 - 75 = 15 N .
Friction force will act in the direction opposite to the direction of net force .
So friction force will act in the direction in which 75 N is acting .
Total force acting in the direction of 75 = 75 + 12 = 87 N
Net force acing on the third child = 90 - 87 = 3 N
Its direction will be that in the direction of 90 N .
Which is larger: 65 mph (miles per hour) or 120 kph (kilometers per hour)? As a percentage, how much faster is one than the other?
To Find :
Which is larger: 65 mph (miles per hour) or 120 kph (kilometers per hour).
Solution :
We know, 1 mph = 1.61 kph
So, 65 mph = 1.61 × 65 kph
65 mph = 104.65 kph
Since, 65 mph is 104.65 kph which is smaller than 120 kph.
Therefore, 120 kph is faster than 65 mph by ( 120 - 104.65 ) = 15.35 kph.

why do players choose to follow the unconventional route of kicking down the middle
Answer:
My biggest reason is to make it a habit. Even if the ball goes into the endzone it is a live ball and the offensive players must down the ball. Don't leave any room for "I thought he downed it" or "I thought I heard the whistle" just run to the ball always.
If the players slow down and the returner takes it out of the end zone it could be a big return. Players are on a full sprint for 40+ yards sometimes and instead of breaking down, they choose to contine through the goal line to slow down at a decreased rate (possibly limiting a muscle pull injury).

WEATHERING is represented by the scenario (As waves crash into rock along the shoreline, particles of sand, shell, and other materials in the ocean water loosen tiny bits of sediment from the rock).
Erosion is represented by the scenario (As the waves recede, they carry the sediment away).
Explanation:
A wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another. When wind blows over a water body like the ocean, ocean waves are formed. As the generated energy from the wind is transported through the water by the waves, the can hit against rocks on the shores leading to its break down with time. WEATHERING occurs when tiny bit of sediments from rocks are loosened due to the impact of ocean waves.
Erosion can be described as the wearing away of the earth's surface due to the impact of wind, rainfall ( water) or waves. There are different types of erosion which is classified according it's cause of formation.
Wave erosion occurs when sediments such as sand, shell and other materials are carried to the shoreline by ocean waves. This erodes the shore over time as the sediments act like sandpapers.
