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}

An automobile with 0.500 m radius tires travels 80,000 km before wearing them out. How many revolutions do the tires make, negle
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of tires r = 0.5 m

Total distance travelled d = 80,000 km = 80,000,000 m

1 revolution = 2πr

Total distance d = number of revolutions n × 2πr

d = n×2πr

d = 2πnr

Making n the subject of formula;

n = d/2πr

Substituting the given values;

n = (80,000,000)/(2×π×0.5)

n = 25,464,790.89470 revolutions

n = 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The tires have made 25,464,790.89 revolutions

The mercalli scale is a scale from ________.
Mashcka [7]
<h2>Answer: 1 to 12. </h2>

<u>The Mercalli seismological scale is a scale of 12 degrees</u>, where 1 is very weak and 12 catastrophic.

This scale owes its name to the Italian physicist Giuseppe Mercalli and was developed to assess the intensity of earthquakes through the effects and damages caused to different structures.

This means the <u>Mercalli scale measures how strong a earthquake has been by </u><u>its consequences and not by its magnitude</u><u>, therefore it is based on </u><u>empirical observations.</u>

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

F = qE

so here the force is tension force on it

F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N

Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C

now we have

6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

VELOCITY, SPEED, DISTANCE ETC..
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Velocity  = displacement / time

So ,

Speed = 50 km / 0.5 hr = 100 km/h

Velocity  = 40 km / 0.5hr = 80 km/h
