A water balloon is thrown horizontally from a tower that is 45 m high. It strikes the shoes of an unsuspecting passerby who is 45 meters east of
the tower. With what magnitude was the balloon's horizontal velocity?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14.85 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.8 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

45 = u × 3.03

Divide both side by 3.03

u = 45/3.03

u = 14.85 m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s

CUAL DE LAS SIGUIENTES LEYES NO PERTENECEN A LOS 3 PRINCIPIOS DE NEWTON? 1.LEY DE LA ATRACCION 2.LEY FUNDAMENTAL DE LA DINAMICA 3.LEY DE ACCION Y REACCION 4.LEY DE LA INERCIA

Answers

Answer:

La Ley de atracción no pertenece a los tres principios de Newton.

Explanation:

Las leyes de Newton son tres principios que sirven para describir el movimiento de los cuerpos, basados en un sistema de referencias inerciales (es aquél que está en reposo o se mueve con velocidad constante, es decir, no tiene aceleración).

Las 3 leyes de Newton son:

Primera Ley o Ley de Inercia : Esta ley enuncia que todo cuerpo permanece en su estado de reposo o de movimiento rectilíneo uniforme a menos que otros cuerpos actúen sobre él. Explica que para modificar el estado de movimiento de un cuerpo es necesario actuar sobre él. Segunda ley o Principio Fundamental de la Dinámica : Esta ley dice que la fuerza que actúa sobre un cuerpo es directamente proporcional a su aceleración.  Es decir, si sobre un cuerpo actúa una fuerza, dicho cuerpo modificará su velocidad, es decir, adquirirá una aceleración. Dicha fuerza y su aceleración generada son proporcionales y están relacionadas mediante:  F=m*a donde F es la fuerza aplicada, m es la masa del cuerpo sobre el que se aplica la fuerza y a es la aceleración adquirida por dicho cuerpo.Tercera ley o Principio de acción-reacción : Esta ley expresa que cuando un cuerpo ejerce una fuerza sobre otro, éste ejerce sobre el primero una fuerza igual y de sentido opuesto.

Entonces, la Ley de atracción no pertenece a los tres principios de Newton.

A car increases velocity from 30 m/s to 60 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate the average acceleration of the car over this time.
0.3 m/s2
7.5 m/s2
0.6 m/s2
4.8 m/s2

Answers

Answer:

B.7.5m/s2

Explanation:

average acceleration=change invelocity/time taken

a=(60-30)/4

=7.5m/s2

The average acceleration of the car 7.5 m/s²

The parameters given in the question are;

initial velocity= 30 m/s

final velocity= 60 m/s

time= 4 seconds

The formula that can be used to calculate the average acceleration is

= final velocity-initial velocity/time

= 60-30/2

= 30/2

= 7.5

Hence the average acceleration is 7.5 m/s²

How many times more gravitational potential energy would the same lander have on top of a 350-m hill on Earth? It would have times more gravitational potential energy

Answers

Answer:

6

Explanation:

Just did it.

The gravitational potential energy would the same lander have on top of a 350-m hill on Earth is 6.

What is gravitational potential energy?

If an object is lifted, work is done against gravitational force. The object gains energy.

The equation for calculating gravitational potential energy is

GPE =mgh

where, GPE is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass, h is the change in height and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The heavier the particle and the higher it is over the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increments as weight and level increments.

Given is the height of hill h = 350m.

Thus, the same lander will have the the potential energy 6 times more.

A ball is thrown horizontally with an initial

60 m high. What is the initial vertical
velocity of the ball?
a. O m/s
b. 20 m/s
c. 3.5 m/s
d. 9.81 m/s

Answers

It’s B I’m not sure it the right one

The initial vertical velocity of a ball thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of 20 m/s from the top of a 60 m high tower is 0 m/s (option a).  

The ball is thrown horizontally, so its velocity will have only components in the x-direction (horizontal). The components of the initial velocity in the y-direction (vertical) will be zero.    

For a ball's velocity to have components in the vertical and horizontal direction, the ball must be thrown at a certain angle to the ground, describing a parabolic movement.

In a parabolic movement, the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity would be:

[tex] v_{x} = v_{i}cos(\theta) [/tex]

[tex] v_{y} = v_{i}sin(\theta) [/tex]

Where:

[tex] v_{i} [/tex]: is the initial velocity

θ: is the angle

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the ball is zero (option a).

A cube of wood exerts a pressure of 2 pa. When it is placed on a floor. What is the force by the cube if its surface is 5 cm²​

Answers

Pressure exerted by the wooden cube = 2 Pa

Surface area of cube = 5 cm² = 0.0005 m²

P → Pressure

F → Force

A → Surface Area

By substituting values in the formula, we get:

Ceres is a large asteroid that orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres has a mass of 9.4 x 1020 kg and a radius of about 4.7 x 10° m.

If a spacecraft attempts to land on the asteroid, what acceleration due to gravity will it experience near the surface?

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Ceres is approximately 0.284 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Ceres = 9.4 × 10²⁰ kg

The radius of Ceres, r = 4.7 × 10⁶ m

By Newton's law of gravitation, we have;

[tex]Gravitational \ force\ on \ the \ spacecraft \ near \ Ceres, \ F =G\dfrac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]Acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity \ g =G\dfrac{m_{1}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where;

m₁ = The mass of Ceres = 9.4 × 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = The mass of the spacecraft

G = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

Substituting the values, we get;

[tex]g \ near \ the \ surface \ of \ Ceres = \dfrac{ 6.6743 \times 10^{-11} \times 9.4 \times 10 ^{20}}{(4.7 \times 10^5)^{2}} \approx 0.284 \ m/s^2[/tex]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of Ceres ≈ 0.284 m/s²

a) When does the ball hit the ground? (time)
b) How far away from the base of the table does the ball travel?
c) With what vertical speed does the ball hit the floor?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

for vertical displacement h = 1.6 , let time taken be t , initial vertical velocity = 0

h = ut + 1/2 g t²

= 1/2 g t²

1.6 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t² = .3265

t = .57 s

b )

velocity in horizontal direction = 3.2 m /s

horizontal displacement

= 3.2 x .57 = 1.82 m

c )

for vertical movement

v = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x .57

= 5.58 m /s

What is resistance?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).

Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Ohm's Law is a formula used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electrical circuit.

To students of electronics, Ohm's Law (E = IR) is as fundamentally important as Einstein's Relativity equation (E = mc²) is to physicists.

E = I x R

Start with the formula V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.

The voltage is 3 volts, so V = 3 volts

The resistance is 68 ohms, so R = 68 ohms

Plug in what we know into the ohms law formula:

3 volts = I * 68 ohms

I = 3/68 = 0.044 Amps
