A boy 12.0 m above the ground in a tree throws a ball for his dog, who is standing right below the tree and starts running the instant the ball is thrown. If the boy throws the ball horizontally at 8.50m/s, (a) how fast must the dog run to catch the ball just as it reaches the ground, and (b) how far from the tree will the dog catch the ball?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The speed of the dog will be 8.50m/s.

(b) The horizontal distance travel by the dog is 13.3m.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The velocity contains two components, one is horizontal component and another one is vertical.

According to the newton鈥檚 laws of motion,

s=ut+12at2

Where, s, u, t, a, are displacement, initial velocity, time and acceleration.

02

Given data

Vertical distance of the boy from the ground is 12.0m.

The speed of the ball is 8.50m/s.

03

The speed of dog

(a)

The boy will have to travel with the same speed to reach the same horizontal distance as ball, so the speed also be the same that is 8.50m/s.

04

Distance of the ball from the tree

(b)

For the vertical motion, initial velocity is zero

s=ut+12at2

Substitute 12m for s, 0m/s foru and9.8m/s2 forg in the above equation.

12=0t+129.8t2t=1.56s

For the horizontal motion, gravity is zero

s=ut+12at2

Substitute 8.50 s for u, 1.56s for t,0m/s2 forg in the above equation.

s=8.501.56+1201.562s=13.3m

Therefore the horizontal distance travel by the dog is 13.3 m.

Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD179949 (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only3.09days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
