Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 49 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

49 m/s = (9.8 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 5 s

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.

A baseball player leads off the game and hits a long home run. The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 70.0 from the horizontal w

professor190 [17]

Answer: 211.059 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\theta=70\°$ The angle at which the ball leaves the bat

$V_{o}=55 m/s$ The initial velocity of the ball

$g=-9.8 m/s^{2}$ The acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: $x$

Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:

<u>Horizontally:</u>

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos \theta$ (1)

$V_{ox}=55 m/s cos(70\°)=18.811 m/s$ (2)

<u>Vertically:</u>

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin \theta$ (3)

$V_{oy}=55 m/s sin(70\°)=51.683 m/s$ (4)

On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when $V=0$ and the time $t$ is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.

So, if we use the following equation, we will find $t$ :

$V=V_{o}+gt=0$ (5)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{-V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

$t=\frac{-55 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^{2}}$ (7)

$t=5.61 s$ (8)

Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time $T$ it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice $t$ :

$T=2t=2(5.61 s)=11.22 s$ (9)

With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:

$x=V_{ox}T$ (10)

Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):

$x=(18.811 m/s)(11.22 s)$ (11)

Finally:

$x=211.059 m$

If a car increases its velocity from zero to 60 m/s in 10 seconds, its acceleration is

andrezito [222]

We know that a=vf_vi/t equals equation "a" . Where a is the acceleration of the body , vf is the final velocity , vi is the initial velocity and t is equal to time . Since vi equals o m/s , vf equals to 60 m/s and t equals 10 s. Put in equation "a". a=60-0/10 =6m/s2
