I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.
I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith.
Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.
When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is S cos(60) = 0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is S sin(60) = S√3/2 = 0.866 S . (rounded)
-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.
-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change.
-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally.
That's E/4 .
Answer:
8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1
9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.
Explanation:
8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...
1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)
ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ
-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1
___
9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...
6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344
half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
Answer:
Explanation:
F = kQq/r²
r = √(kQq/F)
a) r = √(8.899(10⁹)(8)(4) / 18(10¹³)) = 0.0397749... m
r = 40 mm
b) r = √(8.899(10⁹)(12)(3) / 18(10¹³)) = 0.0421876... m
r = 42 mm
Answer:
the initial velocity of the ball is 104.67 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
angle of projection, θ = 60⁰
time of flight, T = 18.5 s
let the initial velocity of the ball, = u
The time of flight is given as;
Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 104.67 m/s.
