A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 55 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistan

ce, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the top of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw.

Answer:

a) t =3.349 s

b) V_x,i = 44.8 m/s

c) V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

d)  V = 55.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Total throw in x direction x(f) = 150 m

- Total distance traveled down y(f) = 55 m

Find:

a) How long is the rock in the air in seconds.  

b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second?

c) What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the rock hits the ground, in meters per second?

d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?

Solution:

- Use the second equation of motion in y direction:

                                 y(f) = y(0) + V_y,i*t + 0.5*g*t^2

- V_y,i = 0 (horizontal throw)

                                 55 = 0 + 0 + 0.5*(9.81)*t^2

                                 t = sqrt ( 55 * 2 / 9.81 )

                                 t =3.349 s

- Use the second equation of motion in x direction:

                                 x(f) = x(0) + V_x,i*t

                                 150 = 0 + V_x,i*3.349

                                  V_x,i = 150 / 3.349 = 44.8 m/s

- Use the first equation of motion in y direction:

                                 V_y,f = V_y,i + g*t

                                 V_y,f = 0 + 9.81*3.349

                                 V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

- The magnitude of velocity of ball when it hits the ground is:

                                 V^2 = V_y,f^2 + V_x,i^2

                                 V = sqrt (32.85^2 + 44.8^2)

                                 V = 55.55 m/s

A spherical Christmas tree ornament is 8.00 cm in diameter. What is the magnification of an object placed 12.0 cm away from the
LiRa [457]

The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

To calculate the magnification of the ornament, first, we need to find the image distance.

Formula:

  • 1/f = u⁻¹+v⁻¹.................... Equation 1

Where:

  • f = Focal length of the ornament
  • u = image distance
  • v = object distance.

make u the subject of the equation

  • u = fv/(f+v)................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 8/2 = 4 cm
  • v = 12 cm

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • u = (12×4)/(12+4)
  • u = 48/16
  • u = 3 cm.

Finally, to get the magnification of the ornament, we use the formula below.

  • M = u/v.................. Equation 3

Where

  • M = magnification of the ornament.

Substitute these values above into equation 3

  • M = 3/12
  • M = 0.25.

Hence, The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

1. A mass is on a level plane, it has a weight of 20N. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction if an applied force
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

F-Fr=ma where F is applied force, Fr is friction, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Since the mass is moving with a constant velocity, there's no acceleration hence

F=Fr=\mu N where N is the weight of object and \mu is coefficient of kinetic friction.

F=\mu N and making [tex]\mu the subject

\mu=\frac {F}{N}

Substituting F for 8 N and N for 20 N

\mu=\frac {8}{20}=0.4

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po
kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

           Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

         Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82
