why does the velocity in the horizontal direction remain constant while the velocity in the vertical direction changes?

1 answer:

8 0

The horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant (a never changing in value), There is a verticalacceleration caused by gravity; its value is 9.8 m/s/s, down, The vertical velocity of a projectile changes by 9.8 m/s each second, The horizontal motion of a projectile is independent of its vertical motion.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the rocket is

$y_{max} = 308 m$

total time of the motion of rocket is given as

$T = 16.44 s$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket is given as

$v_i = 50 m/s$

acceleration of the rocket is given as

$a = 2 m/s^2$

engine stops at height h = 150 m

so the final speed of the rocket at this height is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_f^2 - 50^2 = 2(2)(150)$

$v_f = 55.68 m/s$

so maximum height reached by the rocket is given as the height where its final speed becomes zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 55.68^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 150)$

$y_{max} = 308 m$

Now the total time of the motion of rocket is given as

1) time to reach the height of 150 m

$v_f - v_i = at$

$55.68 - 50 = 2 t$

$t_1 = 2.84 s$

2) time to reach ground from this height

$\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$-150 = 55.68 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t_2 = 13.6 s$

so total time of the motion of rocket is given as

$T = 13.6 + 2.84 = 16.44 s$

A proton is placed in an electric field of intensity 700 N/C. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of this p

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of proton will be $a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given a proton is placed in an electric field of intensity of 700 N/C

So electric field E = 700 N/C

Mass of proton $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}kg$

Charge on proton $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So electric force on the proton $F=qE=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 700=1.120\times 10^{-16}N$

This force will be equal to force due to acceleration of the proton

According to newton's law force is given by F = ma

So $1.67\times 10^{-27}\times a=1.120\times 10^{-16}$

$a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

So acceleration of proton will be $a=0.67\times 10^{11}m/sec^2$

An object is placed between two plain mirrors which make angle 45 degree with each other. Distance between all adjacent images a

marysya [2.9K]

I have a formula here that might just help you solve the problem on your own:

The number of images depends on the angle between the two mirrors. The number of images formed in two plane mirrors inclined at an angle A to each other is given by the formula:

Number of images = 360/A - 1.

I hope my guide has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
