Answer: 37.981 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the ball has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$x=52 m$ is the point where the ball strikes ground horizontally

$V_{o}$ is the ball's initial speed

$\theta=0$ because we are told the ball is thrown horizontally

$t$ is the time since the ball is thrown until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=120m$ is the initial height of the ball

$y=0$ is the final height of the ball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's start by finding $t$ from (2):

$0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin(0\°) t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$0=y_{o}+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (4)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 (120 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}$ (5)

$t=4.948 s$ (6)

Then, we have to substitute (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos(0\°) t$ (7)

And find $V_{o}$ :

$V_{o}=\frac{x}{t}$ (8)

$V_{o}=\frac{52 m}{4.948 s}$ (9)

$V_{o}=10.509 m/s$ (10)

On the other hand, since we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity) we can use the following equation to find the value of the ball's final velocity $V$ :

$V=V_{o} + gt$ (11)

$V=10.509 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^{2})(4.948 s)$ (12)

$V=-37.981 m/s$ (13) This is the ball's final velocity, and the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards.

However, we were asked to find the ball's final speed, which is the module of the ball's final vleocity vector. This module is always positive, hence the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 37.981 m/s (positive).

A body of mass 2 kg at O has an initial velocity of 3m/s along OE and it is subjected to a force of 4N perpendicular to OE the d

timofeeve [1]

Perpendicular acceleration:
F = ma
a = 4 / 2 = 2 m/s²

Perpendicular distance:

s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = 0 x 4 + 1/2 x 2 x 4²
s = 16 m

Horizontal distance:
s = ut
= 3 x 4
= 12 m

Total distance = √(12² + 16²)
= 20 m.
