The figure of the problem is missing: find in attachment.

(a) 1.64 s

The ball follows a projectile motion path. The horizontal displacement is given by

x(t) = v_0 cos \theta t

where

v_0 is the initial speed

t is the time

\theta=32.0^{\circ} is the angle below the horizontal

We can rewrite this equation as

t=\frac{x(t)}{v_0 cos \theta} (1)

The vertical displacement instead is given by

y(t) = -v_0 sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (2)

where

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting (1) into (2),

y(t) = -x(t) tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

We know that for t = time of flight, the horizontal displacement is

x(t) =50.8 m

We also know that the vertical displacement is

y(t) = -45 m

Substituting everything into the equation, we can find the time of flight:

\frac{1}{2}gt^2=-y -x tan \theta\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(-y-xtan \theta)}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-(-45)-50.8 tan 32.0^{\circ})}{9.8}}=1.64 s

(b) 36.5 m/s

We can now find the initial speed directly by using the equation for the horizontal displacement:

x(t) = v_0 cos \theta t

where we have

x = 50.8 m

\theta=32.0^{\circ}

Substituting the time of flight,

t = 1.64 s

We find:

v_0 = \frac{x}{t cos \theta}=\frac{50.8}{(1.64)(cos 32.0^{\circ})}=36.5 m/s

(c) 47.1 m/s at 48.8 degrees below the horizontal

As the ball follows a projectile motion, its horizontal velocity does not change, so its value remains equal to

v_x = v_0 cos \theta = (36.5)(cos 32.0^{\circ})=31.0 m/s

The initial vertical velocity is instead

u_y = -v_0 sin \theta = -(36.5)(sin 32.0^{\circ})=-19.3 m/s

And it changes according to the equation

v_y = u_y -gt

So at t = 1.64 s (when the ball hits the ground),

v_y = -19.3 - (9.8)(1.64)=-35.4 m/s

So the impact speed is:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(31.0)^2+(-35.4)^2}=47.1 m/s

While the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-35.4}{31.0})=-48.8^{\circ}

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon
Anit [1.1K]

A,  C,  and  D  all happen at different stages
of a total lunar eclipse.

I'll describe the stages of the eclipse, but before I do, I just need
to clarify:  The Earth doesn't have an umbra or a penumbra, but
its shadow does.
 

-- the eclipse begins when the first edge of the moon
   moves into the penumbra of Earth's shadow; ( C )
   this part of the moon grows steadily.

-- After a while, the first edge of the moon begins to move
   into the umbra of Earth's shadow ( A ), and gets very dark.

-- The total phase of the eclipse begins when the ENTIRE
    moon is in the umbra of Earth's shadow.

Then everything happens in reverse.

--  Eventually, the leading edge of the moon moves out
     of the shadow's umbra, into the penumbra.  This part
     steadily grows.  

-- After a while, none of the moon is in the umbra, and
   the whole thing is in the penumbra.  The moon is
   fully illuminated, but not quite as bright as it should be.

--  Soon, the leading edge of the moon leaves the penumbra
    of Earth's shadow, and gets brighter.  This portion of the moon
    steadily grows, until ...

--  the moon completely leaves the penumbra, all of it is as bright
    as it's supposed to be.  The eclipse is completely over.  ( B )


==>  The whole process lasts several hours.

==>  Everybody on the night side of the Earth sees the same thing
         at the same time.  It doesn't matter WHERE you are on the night
         side ... if you can see the moon in the sky, you see the present
         phase of the eclipse.

==>  The lunar eclipse can only happen at the Full Moon.  In fact, the
         mid-point of the total phase is the exact moment of Full Moon.

Which other type of electromagnetic wave will strip away electrons from the zinc plate? And why?
garik1379 [7]
In short, when light illuminates a piece of metal, the light kicks off electrons from the metal’s surface and these electrons can be detected as a change in the electric charge of the metal or as an electric current. Hence the name: photo for light and electric for the current. The explanation behind this simple phenomenon opened the door to revolutionary modern physics concepts regarding the composition of light, quantum mechanics, and what is now referred to as the “wave-particle duality” of nature. The wave-particle duality of nature is perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of our universe and a very interesting philosophical subject! Your goal in this lab is to reproduce the photoelectric effect for yourselves and to understand how it demonstrates the particle behavior of light.

Oysters are filter feeders. They get their food by moving large amounts of water through their bodies and filtering out whatever
Lynna [10]

A. Oysters, clams, and other shellfish are efficient filter feeders that help remove excess nitrogen from waters by incorporating it into their shells and tissue as they grow. ... Adult oysters reportedly can filter up to 50 gallons a day, while large quahogs (hard clams) can clean about 24 gallons of water a day

How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 2g of water 3 C?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The number of calories needed is 6c.

Explanation:

The amount of energy Q needed to raise the temperature \Delta T of water of mass m is

Q = mC\Delta T

where C = 1cal/g\cdot C is the specific heat capacity of water.

Putting in numbers into equation (1), we get:

Q = (2g)(1)(3^oC )\\

\boxed{Q = 6\:cal }

which is the number of calories needed.
