Projectile Motion—A tennis ball is thrown out a window 28 m above the ground at an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s and 20.0° below
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The distance will be x = 41.7 [m]

Explanation:

We must first find the components in the x & y axes of the initial velocity.

(v_{o})_{x} = 15*cos(20)= 14.09[m/s]\\(v_{o})_{y} = 15*sin(20)= 5.13[m/s]

The acceleration is the gravity acceleration therefore.

g = 9.81 [m/s^2]

Now we can calculate how long it takes to fall.

y=(v_{o})_{y}*t-0.5*g*t^2\\-28 = 5.13*t-0.5*9.81*t^2\\-28=-4.905*t^2+5.13*t\\4.905*t^2-5.13*t=28\\t = 2.96[s]

With this time we can find the horizontal distance that runs the projectile.

x=(v_{o})_{x}*t\\x=14.09*2.96\\x=41.7[m]

A sailboat weighing 980 lb with its occupants is running downwind at 8 mi/h when its spinnaker is raised to increase its speed.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

78.498N

Explanation:

The Net force provided by the spinnaker can be obtained from Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}................(1)

where m is the mass, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and t is the time interval for which the force acted.

Given;

m =980lb

v = 12mi/h

u =8mi/hr

t = 10s.

It is important to convert all quantities to their SI units where necessary, so we do that as follows;

1lb = 0.45kg,

hence 980lb = 980 x 0.45kg = 441kg.

1mile = 1609.34m

1hour = 3600s,

therefore;

8mi/h=\frac{8*1609.34m}{3600s}=3.58m/s

12mi/h=\frac{12*1609.34m}{3600s}=5.36m/s

Substituting all values into equation (1), we obtain the following;

F=\frac{441(5.36-3.58)}{10}\\F=\frac{441*1.78}{10}\\F=\frac{784.98}{10}\\F=78.498N

If 2.2 lbs = 1.0 kg, and Megan Progress weighs 130 lbs, what is her weight in newtons?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Force = 2802.8 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 130 lbs

But, 2.2 lbs = 1.0 kg

130 lbs to kg = 130 * 2.2 = 286 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

To find the force in Newton;

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 286 * 9.8

Force = 2802.8 Newton

If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006, what is the velocity of the wave?
lana66690 [7]

<u>Answer</u>

D. 1,500 m/s

<u>Explanation</u>

the wave equation states that,

V = λf

Where V ⇒ Velocity

λ ⇒ wavelength

f ⇒ Frequency

F = 1/T

Where T ⇒ period

F = 1/0.006

= 166.667

∴ V = 9 × 166.667

= 1,500 m/s

Living organisms increase in complexity as they grow, resulting in a decrease in the entropy of an organism. How does this relat
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

C: As a consequence of growing, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth.

Explanation:

Particularly, whole organisms on the earth obtain the energy from sunlight, and the sun is undertake an vast increase in entropy that simply compensates for the reducing entropy of living things on this small planet.
