Answer:

l= 4 mi   : width of the park

w= 1 mi  : length of the park

Explanation:

Formula to find the area of ​​the rectangle:

A= w*l       Formula(1)

Where,

A is the area of the  rectangle in mi²

w is the  width of the rectangle in mi

l is the  width of the rectangle in mi

Known data

A =  4 mi²

l = (w+3)mi    Equation (1)

Problem development

We replace the data in the formula (1)

A= w*l  

4 = w* (w+3)

4= w²+3w

w²+3w-4= 0

We factor the equation:

We look for two numbers whose sum is 3 and whose multiplication is -4

(w-1)(w+4) = 0 Equation (2)

The values ​​of w for which the equation (2) is zero are:

w = 1 and w = -4

We take the positive value w = 1 because w is a dimension and cannot be negative.

w  = 1 mi  :width of the park

We replace w  = 1 mi  in the equation (1) to calculate the length of the park:

l=  (w+3) mi

l= ( 1+3) mi

l= 4 mi

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit
Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

\Delta KE = \Delta PE

\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 = mgh_2-mgh_1

Where,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:

\frac{1}{2}v_f^2-\frac{1}{2} v_0^2 = gh_2

\frac{1}{2} (v_f^2-v_0^2) = gh_2

(v_f^2-v_0^2) = 2gh_2

v_f = \sqrt{2gh_2+v_0^2}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(23.5)+13.6^2}

v_f = 25.4m/s

Which of the following statements is TRUE about impulse? (Consider the Impulse-Momentum Theorem: F▲t = m ▲v )
kotykmax [81]

The statement “Impulse is a vector quantity” is true about Impulse.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

The object’s action by applied force in a particular time interval, there happens changing in momentum called impulse. It is denoted by a symbol ‘J’ or ‘imp’ and expressed in a unit ‘Ns’. As impulse depends on the acted force, when a collision arises from front, behind or side, the force’s direction would be differed.

                   \text {Impulse }=\text {Force } \times \text {time}=\vec{F} \Delta t

So, from this option A is false as impulse is not a force but changing momentum. The unit is not Newton, it is Newton second (Ns). The force direction differs (impulse direction) for each cases of collision, so option D also false. Hence, option B seems to be correct. Vector quantity deals with both direction and magnitude and important in motion study.

If the range of a projectile's trajectory is six times larger than the height of the trajectory, then what was the angle of laun
zvonat [6]

Answer:

H = 1/2 g t^2    where t is time to fall a height H

H = 1/8 g T^2   where T is total time in air  (2 t  = T)

R = V T cos θ       horizontal range

3/4 g T^2 = V T cos θ       6 H = R    given in problem

cos θ = 3 g T / (4 V)           (I)

Now t = V sin θ / g     time for projectile to fall from max height

T = 2 V sin θ / g

T / V = 2 sin θ / g

cos θ = 3 g / 4 (T / V)     from (I)

cos θ = 3 g / 4 * 2 sin V / g = 6 / 4 sin θ

tan θ = 2/3      

θ = 33.7 deg

As a check- let V = 100 m/s

Vx = 100 cos 33.7 = 83,2

Vy = 100 sin 33,7 = 55.5

T = 2 * 55.5 / 9.8 = 11.3 sec

H = 1/2 * 9.8 * (11.3 / 2)^2 = 156

R = 83.2 * 11.3 = 932

R / H = 932 / 156 = 5.97        6 within rounding
