Answer:

122.17 m/s

Explanation:

x cos 40 = horizontal velocity

1500 m / x cos 40 = time in the air = 1958.11 / x

x sin 40 = vertical velocity

find when shell vertical velocity = 0 (this is max height....1/2 way through its flight) , the time when it hits the ground will be twice this...

0 = x sin 40 - 9.8 t

t = x sin40 / 9.8 time in the air is twice this = .13118 x

Equate the two times from above to solve for x

1958.11/ x = .13118 x

x = 122.17 m/s

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 43.0 vibrations

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

0.218

Explanation:

Given that

Total vibrations completed by the wave is 43 vibrations

Time taken to complete the vibrations is 33 seconds

Length of the wave is 424 cm = 4.24 m

to solve this problem, we first find the frequency.

Frequency, F = 43 / 33 hz

Frequency, F = 1.3 hz

Also, we find the wave velocity. Which is gotten using the relation,

Wave velocity = 4.24 / 15

Wave velocity = 0.283 m/s

Now, to get our answer, we use the formula.

Frequency * Wavelength = Wave Velocity

Wavelength = Wave Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = 0.283 / 1.3

Wavelength = 0.218

A box with a mass of 2 kg accelerates in a straight line

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: 16N

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of box M= 2 kg

Initial speed V1 = 4 m/s

Final speed V2 = 8 m/s

Time taken T= 0.5 s

Average strength of this force F = ?

Now, recall that Force is the rate of change of momentum per unit time

i.e Force = momentum / time

Hence, F = M x (V2 - V1)/T

F = 2kg x (8 m/s - 4 m/s) / 0.5s

F = 2kg x (4 m/s / 0.5s)

F = 2kg x 8 m/s/s)

F = 16N

Thus, the average strength of this

force is 16 newton.

a grape and apple and a watermelon are arranged at the corners of a triangle so that each piece of fruit is three meters away fr

777dan777 [17]

-- There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.

-- The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.

-- The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational
force is the product of the masses.

-- The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,
so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.
