Select the statement that best describes gravity.
1 answer:
Explanation:
Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects. It depends upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects. Mathematically, the force of gravity is given by :
Where
G is the universal gravitational constant
are masses
d is the distance between two masses
So, statement (2) describes gravity "Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects; it is dependent upon the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects".

Answer:
Apply the following formulae horizontally And get A value for time
Remember horizontal acceleration is zero
and then to find the height apply the same above equation vertically...remember vertical initial velocity is zero
Answer:
a) x = v₀² sin 2θ / g
b) t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g
c) x = 16.7 m
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity
sin θ = / vo
cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo
v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ
v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s
v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s
a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant
v₀ₓ = x / t
x = v₀ₓ t
the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero
v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt
0 = v₀ sin θ - gt
t = v_{o} sin θ / g
we substitute
x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)
x = v₀² /g 2 cos θ sin θ
x = v₀² sin 2θ / g
at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,
b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time
at the highest point the vertical speed is zero
v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt
v_{y} = 0
t = v_{oy} / g
t = v₀ sin θ / g
as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is
t_total = 2 t
t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g
c) we calculate
x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8
x = 16.7 m
