The initial velocity in the horizontal direction will be positive.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the ball threw off the building, the ball will follow a projectile path with free fall. So the velocity components will split as horizontal and the vertical velocity. The horizontal components of velocity remain same but the vertical velocities vary at rate of 9.8 m/s (approx. 10 m/s) as the ball will be reaching the ground due to free fall.

So gravity will act upon the ball leading to exhibit acceleration due to gravity will falling. Thus with the help of second equation of motion, we can determine the time taken by the ball to reach the ground from a height of 150 m. As the second equation of motion is

                      s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

As the initial velocity of the ball before thrown is zero, u = 0 and as the ball is exhibiting a free fall, so acceleration a will be equal to acceleration due to gravity g. And the displacement performed by the ball will equal to height of the building.

Thus,

                    150=(0 \times t)+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times g \times t^{2}\right)

                    150=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times t^{2}\right)

                    t^{2}=\frac{150 \times 2}{10}=30

Thus, the time taken for crossing the cliff is t = 5.5 s.

Now the distance at which the ball falls far from the base of the building is given as 200 m. So the horizontal velocity with which the ball is thrown can be found as,

                    \text {Horizontal velocity}=\frac{\text {Distance}}{\text {Time}}=36.36 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Thus, the horizontal velocity is positive.

If the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force, what net force acts upon the object?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The weight is acting downwards where as the buoyant force acting upwards (opposite) direction with equal amount of force. so the opposite forces cancel out each other (because of the force amount being equal) and no net force is acting on the object.

Hope i have helped you

Thanks.

State Pascal's principle of pressure . please help due tomorrow​
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container.

Explanation:

The pressure at any point in the fluid is equal in all directions.

A 3600 kg rocket traveling at 2900 m/s is moving freely through space on a journey to the moon. The ground controllers find that
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

m=417.24 kg

Explanation:  

Given Data

Initial mass of rocket  M = 3600 Kg

Initial velocity of rocket vi = 2900 m/s  

velocity of gas vg = 4300  m/s

Θ = 11° angle in degrees

To find

m = mass of gas  

Solution

Let m = mass of gas    

first to find Initial speed with angle given

So

Vi=vi×tanΘ...............tan angle

Vi= 2900m/s × tan (11°)

Vi=563.7 m/s

Now to find mass

m = (M ×vi ×tanΘ)/( vg + vi tanΘ)

put the values as we have already solve vi ×tanΘ

m = (3600 kg ×563.7m/s)/(4300 m/s + 563.7 m/s)

m=417.24 kg
