The final velocity of the projectile when it strikes the ground below is 198.51 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the projectile</h3>

The time taken for the projectile to fall to the ground is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • h is height of the cliff
  • v is velocity
  • t is time of motion

265 = (185 x sin45)t + (0.5)(9.8)t²

265 = 130.8t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 130.8t - 265 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method,

t = 1.89 s

<h3>Final velocity of the projectile</h3>

vyf = vyi + gt

where;

  • vyf is the final vertical velocity
  • vyi is initial vertical velocity

vyf = (185 x sin45) + (9.8 x 1.89)

vyf = 149.322 m/s

vxf = vxi

where;

  • vxf is the final horizontal velocity
  • vxi is the initial horizontal velocity

vxf = 185 x cos(45)

vxf = 130.8 m/s

vf = √(vyf² + vxf²)

where;

  • vf is the speed of the projectile when it strikes the ground below

vf = √(149.322²  +  130.8²)

vf = 198.51 m/s

A block slides on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a speed of 1.32 m/s. The block encounters an unstretched spring and co
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given time is 1 / 4 of the time period

So Time period  of oscillation.

= 4 x .4 =1.6 s

When the block reaches back its original position when it came in contact with the spring for the first time , the block and the spring will have maximum

velocity. After that spring starts unstretching , reducing its speed , so block loses contact as its velocity is not reduced .

So required velocity is the maximum velocity of the block while remaining in contact with the spring.

v ( max ) = w A = 1.32  m /s.

Which is true about carbon-12 compared with carbon-13
creativ13 [48]
E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.

What is the relationship between balancing equations and the law of conservation of matter
harkovskaia [24]
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
