A block is given an initial speed of 4.8 m/sm/s up the 29 ∘
1) How far up the plane will it go?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
2)How much time elapses before it returns to its starting point? Ignore friction. Caption: Block on inclined plane.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
Two kids decided to play with their toys, balls. The first kid is on the ground (0.00 meter), whereas the second kid is on top of a 10.00-meter tall building. The second kid threw his ball at the same time that the first kid throws another ball upward. At the time that the first kid’s ball reaches its maximum height, the two balls will collide.
iii) If the two balls experienced inelastic collision, compute for the time it will take for the two balls to reach the ground (given that their starting speed is 1/2√g(10.00m) ).
