Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence

In summary, the conversation involves solving three different physics problems, each involving different equations and variables. The first problem deals with a ball being kicked towards a fence, and requires determining the average net force exerted on the ball, the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence, and whether it will hit the fence and at what distance. The second problem involves a monkey hanging from two vines and swinging on one of them, and requires calculating the tension in the vine and the speed and tension at the lowest point of the swing. The third problem involves a vertical circle and the use of basic formulas to calculate acceleration, velocity, and distance.

Thanks for any help in advance.
QUESTION 1
A ball of mass 0.5 kg, initially at rest, is kicked directly towards a fence from a point 32 meters away. The velocity of the ball as it leaves the kicker's foot is 20 meters per second at an angle of 37 degrees above the horizontal. The top of the fence is 2.5 meteres high. The kicker's foot is in contact with the ball for 0.05 second. The ball hits nothing while in flight and air resistance is negligible.

a) Determine the magnitude of the average net force exerted on the ball during the kick.

b) Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence.

c) Will the ball hit the fence? If so, how far below the top of the fence will it hit? If not, how far above the top of the fence will it pass?

QUESTION 2
A 5.0 kg monkey hangs initially at rest from two vines A and B. Each of the vines has a length of 10 meters and negligible mass. Vine A is 30 degrees above horizontal then a 90 degree angle, and 60 degree of vine B.

a) Determine the tension in vine B while the monkey is at rest.

The monkey releases vine A and swings on vine B. Neglect air resistance.

b) Determine the speed of the monkey as it passes through the lowest point of its swing.

c) Determine the tension in vine B as the monkey passes through the lowest point of its first swing.

These are relatively straight-forward applications of the basic formulas connecting acceleration, velocity, and distance. Show us what you have done so far and where you are stuck.

I try my best to offer some assistance

part A is simply a problem dealing with impulse. We know that momentum=mass*velocity and that a change in mometum = impulse.


The momentum of this ball is (20 m/s) * 0.5 kg = 10 kg * m/s

Impulse = force * time

Ft = mv
Ft = 10
F(0.05) = 10
F = 200 Newtons

Part B)

time = distance/velocity

time = 32 m / horizontal velocity
time = 32 m / ((cos 37) * 20) m/s
time = 32 m / ((4/5) * 20) m/s
time = 2 seconds

c) d = vt + .5at^2

plug in your values for that, with a being -9.8 m/s^2 to get d
if d is greater than 2.5 m, then the ball has crossed the fence
 

What does "Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence" mean?

This phrase refers to a physics problem in which you are asked to calculate the amount of time it takes for a ball to travel from a starting point to a fence located at a certain distance away.

What information do I need to know in order to solve this problem?

To determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence, you will need to know the initial velocity of the ball, the distance between the starting point and the fence, and the acceleration due to gravity.

How can I calculate the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence?

You can use the equation t = (2d/g)^(1/2), where t represents time, d represents distance, and g represents acceleration due to gravity. Plug in the known values and solve for t to find the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence.

Does air resistance affect the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence?

Yes, air resistance can have an effect on the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence. However, this effect is usually minimal and can be ignored for most basic physics problems.

What other factors may affect the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence?

Some other factors that may affect the time it takes for the ball to reach the fence include the angle at which the ball is thrown, the density of the air, and any external forces acting upon the ball. These factors may need to be taken into consideration for more complex physics problems.
