The launch velocity of the projectile is 13.28 m/s.

What is projectile motion?

The motion of an object thrown in the air under the force of gravity is known as projectile motion.

Since the object is launched horizontally, its initial velocity along the vertical direction is zero. From the second kinematic equation,

s=u*t+(1/2)at^2.

where s is the displacement, t is the time, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. Since the height is decreasing, so it will be taken negative.

For the vertical motion, s=-19.3 m, a=-9.8 m/s^2 and u=0. Put the values in the above equation and solve it.

-19.3 = (0)*t+(1/2)*(-9.8)*t^2

19.3 = (1/2)*(9.8)*t^2

t=1.98 s

Since the velocity along the horizontal direction is constant, the displacement along the horizontal direction is given by the formula,

X=vt

where X is the horizontal displacement, v is the initial horizontal velocity and t is the time.

For the horizontal motion, X=26.3 m and t=1.98 s. Put the values in this equation and solve it.

26.3=v*(1.98)

v=13.28 m/s

The launch velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity, so it is equal to 13.28 m/s.

A push or a pull on an object is known as a(n)
balu736 [363]
Force is a push or a pull of an object that causes the object to speed up, slow down, or stay in one place. In other words, a force is what causes an object to move. Friction and gravity are two types of forces that influence how an object moves.

What are the units of Mass and Weight in the English System? Explain.
Andru [333]

Answer:

I tried...

Explanation:

Assuming the English system of mass and weight is the same as the Imperial system, the measurements are:

• 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)

• 2,000 pounds (lbs) = 1 ton (T)

I think that's everything?

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion :

The Force acting on an Object is equal to Product of Mass of the Object and Acceleration produced due to the Force.

:\implies  Force acting = Mass of the Object × Acceleration

Given : Force = 50 newton and Mass of the Object = 10 kg

Substituting the respective values in the Formula, we get :

:\implies  50 N = 10 kg × Acceleration

:\implies \mathsf{Acceleration = \dfrac{50\;N}{10\;kg}}

:\implies Acceleration of the Object = 5 m/s²
