Displacement of Thrown Ball: Solve in 15min

Thread starter Derby4Life
Start date Jan 21, 2009

AI Thread Summary

The problem involves a ball thrown to a height of 10 meters and then caught back at the starting point. The displacement is calculated as the difference between the initial and final positions. Since the ball returns to the original position, the displacement is zero. Therefore, the answer is that the displacement of the ball is 0 meters. This conclusion highlights the importance of understanding displacement as a vector quantity that considers initial and final positions.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Understanding Forces and their Vector Components'

I was told forces are vectors so they can be divided into x and y components, but what about the normal force or the force of static friction? do you divide those into x and y components if say you had a block that was lying on an angled surface?
