Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the same instant, the other student throws a ball, b2, vertically upward at the same speed. The second ball just misses the balcony on the way down.

(a) What is the difference in the time the balls spend in the air? s
(b) What is the velocity of each ball as it strikes the ground?
ball thrown downward m/s
ball thrown upward m/s
(c) How far apart are the balls 0.800 s after they are thrown?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part a)

[tex]t = 2.83 s[/tex]

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards =[tex]v_f = 23.8 m/s[/tex]

Ball thrown upwards =[tex]v_f = 23.8 m/s[/tex]

Part c)

[tex]d = 22.24 m[/tex]

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

[tex]\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

[tex]0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.83 s[/tex]

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y[/tex]

[tex]v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)[/tex]

[tex]v_f^2 = 567.9[/tex]

[tex]v_f = 23.8 m/s[/tex]

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

[tex]v_{12} = v_1 - v_2[/tex]

[tex]v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s[/tex]

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

[tex]d = v_{12} t[/tex]

[tex]d = 27.8 \times 0.8[/tex]

[tex]d = 22.24 m[/tex]
