A golf ball is given an initial speed of 20. meters

In calculus, neglecting air resistance, the formula for range is R = v(0)^2 sin 2A/g, where v(0) is the initial speed, A is the angle, and g is the acceleration of gravity. Here v(0) = 20 m/s, and g is a constant.

R = 400 sin 2A 

For maximum range, sin 2A = 1, so 2A= 90°, and A= 45

45 degrees is my answer.

Neglecting air resistance, the greatest horizontal distance
always results from a launch angle of 45° above the horizon,
no matter what the initial speed is. This is a handy thing to know.
You'll use it many times, and you should carry it in your toolbox
(i.e. memorize it).

Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found

fredd [130]

Answer: Genetic information responsible for physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color, and skin color can be found in an organism's DNA.

Explanation:

Our genetic information is stored in DNA. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule is a double helix structure which carries information which used in development and growth of body and determines physical characteristics such as eye color, height, hair color and skin color.

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

$m_{1}v_{1}$

where $m_{1}$ is the initial mass of the train, and $v_{1}$ the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

$m_{2}v_{2}$

where $m_{2}$ is mass of the train after the rain, and $v_{2}$ the speed of the train after the rain

the equality must be fulfilled:

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

We know that if water is added to the train, $m_{2}$ that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than $m_{1}$ which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: $m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}$

the speed after the water is added ( $v_{2}$ ) must be smaller than the initial train speed ( $v_{1}$ ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T Subscript C Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline EndFraction times 100. Efficiency equals T Subscript c Baseline minus T Subscript h Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline all times 100.
