You buy a plastic dart gun, and being a clever physics student you decide to do a quick calculation to find its maximum horizont

al range. You shoot the gun straight up, and it takes 4.4 ss for the dart to land back at the barrel.What is the maximum horizontal range of your gun (in meters)?

Answer:

47.48 m

Explanation:

The horizontal range of an object can be estimated using the equation below:

S_{x} =\frac{v^{2}*sin (2\alpha)}{g}

For the maximum horizontal range to occur, the angle \alpha is 45°. Then, the horizontal range will be:

S_{x} = \frac{v^{2}*sin 90}{g} = \frac{v^{2}}{g}

In addition, the velocity (v) can be estimated using the equation below:

v = gt/2

Therefore, the maximum horizontal range is:

S_{x} =  \frac{(gt/2)^{2}}{g} = (9.81*4.4/2)^2 / 9.81 = 47.48 m

maksim [4K]

Answer:

0.42 meters/second

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by Mary is: 80 m + 125 m + 45 m = 250 m  

We want the speed in meters/second, so we have to convert the 10 minutes elapsed during the trip into seconds. Then we need a conversion factor, 1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.

time = 10 minutes * (60 seconds/1 minute) = 600 seconds (notice that minute is cancelled because is multiplying and dividing)

Now, we can compute the average speed is as follows:

Average speed = total distance/time = 250 m/600 s =  0.42 m/s

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an individual charge:​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an induced charge is known as POLARIZATION

Explanation:

Polarization is a characteristic of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specific way.

There are four types of Polarization which include

Electronic Polarization

Ionic Polarization

Orientation Polarization

Space Charge Polarization

dusya [7]
<span>When t=0, v=0, d=0 When t=tf, v=41m/s, d=3.5m We have 2 formulas – the ones corresponding to uniformly accelerated linear movement: vf=a*t+vo d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t Let’s put the data in the formulas: 41m/s=a*t+0=a*t 3.5m=(1/2)*a*t^2+0*t=1/2*a*t^2 You can use a variety of methods to find t and a. I will choose substitution. t=(41m/s)/a 3.5m=(1/2)*a*((41m/s)/a)^2=(1/2)*a*(41m/s)^2/a^2=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/a a=(1/2)*(41m/s)^2/(3.5m)=(1/2)*41^2(m^2/s^2)/(3.5m) a=41^2(m/s^2)/( 2*3.5)=240m/s^2</span>

hockey puck slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 7.2 m/s. It has a deceleration of 1.1 m/s2 and is traveling toward
dimulka [17.4K]

For this use the formula:

d = Vo * t - (at^2) / 2

Clearing t:

t = d/(v + 0.5*a)

Replacing:

t = 5 m / (7.2 m/s + 0.5 * (-1.1 m/s²)

Resolving:

t = 5 m / (7.2 m/s + (-0.55 m/s²)

t = 5 m / 6.65 m/s

t = 0.75 s

Result:

The time will be <u>0.75 seconds.</u>
