A student kicks a football vertically upwards, causing the football to reach a maximum height of 40.0m before falling back to the ground. Determine all unknowns and answer the following questions. Neglect drag and the initial height and horizontal motion of the football.A) With what speed was the football kicked?
B) What was the football's total flight time?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A. 28 m/s

B. 5.72 s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Maximum height (h) = 40 m

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

A. Determination of the initial velocity.

Maximum height (h) = 40 m

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

Velocity at maximum height (v) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity (u) =.?

v² = u² – 2gh (Ball is going against gravity)

0² = u² – (2 × 9.8 × 40)

0 = u² – 784

Collect like terms

0 + 784 = u²

784 = u²

Take the square root of both side

u = √784

u = 28 m/s

Thus, the ball was kicked with a velocity of 28 m/s

B. Determination of the time of flight.

We'll begin by calculating the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity at maximum height (v) = 0 m/s

Initial velocity (u) = 28 m/s

Time taken to reach the maximum height (t) =?

v = u – gt (Ball is going against gravity)

0 = 28 – 9.8t

Rearrange

0 + 9.8t = 28

9.8t = 28

Divide both side by 9.8

t = 28/9.8

t = 2.86 s

Finally, we shall determine the the time of flight as follow:

Time taken to reach the maximum height (t) = 2.86 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 2.86

T = 5.72 s

Therefore, the time of flight for the ball is 5.72 s

B) mass
C) size
D) direction

Answers

C) size and D) direction
Vector quantities possess both size and direction while scalars possess only size.

Answer:The correct options are (C)and (D) are correct.

Explanation:

A vector is defined as quantity which have magnitude and direction. it is represented by the arrow whose direction is same as that of the quantity.Fro example : velocity, force, acceleration , work done etc.

Magnitude is a term which means size or extent or importance of something.

From this we can conclude that vectors always consists of direction and size(magnitude). Hence options(C)and (D) are correct.

A car traveling at 10 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

a= 0.5 m/s^(2)

Explanation:

Your initial velocity (V_(o)) is 10 m/s, your time is 20 seconds. Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the problem, since you know the car comes to a stop, your final velocity (V_(f)) is 0 m/s.

The equation you can use to solve for acceleration (a) is V_(f) = V_(o) +at

1. Plug in the numbers you do have, so your equation will look like this:

0=10+a(20)

2. Solve for a.

-10= 20a

-10/20=a

-0.5= a

a = -0.5 m/s^(2)

8. A 740 kg car traveling 19 m/s comes to a complete stop in 2.0 s. What is the force exerted on the car during this stop?

Answers

Answer:

Force exerted on the car is 7030 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 740 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 19 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 0

Time taken, t = 2 s

Let F is the force exerted on the car during this stop. We know that it is equal to the product of force and acceleration. Mathematically, it is given as :

F=m* (v-u)/(t)

F=740* (0-19)/(2)

F = -7030 N

So, the force exerted on the car during this stop is 7030 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

force = mass * acceleration 

acceleration = change_in_velocity / time

so:

force = 740 kg * (19 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2.0 s
= 740 * 19 / 2 kg m per second^{2}
= 7030 kg m per second^{2}
= 7030 newtons of force
