Answer:

The initial velocity is 38.46 m/s.

Explanation:

The horizontal distance travel by the tennis ball = 13 m

The height at which the tennis ball dropped = 56 cm

Now calculate the initial speed of tennis ball.

The vertical velocity is zero.

Below is the calculation. Here, first convert centimetre into kilometre. So, height at which ball dropped is 0.56 km.

$v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.56} = 3.32 m/s \\$

$t = \frac{3.32}{9.8} = 0.338s \\$

$Ux \times t = 13 \\$

$Ux = \frac{13}{0.338} = 38.46 m/s = Initial velocity.$

What is the instantaneous speed of the monkey at time t=5s?

bezimeni [28]

I’m assuming we’re suppose to get some kind of graph but, Instantaneous speed is the speed that is happening right now. Like driving a car at 15k/h. The instantaneous speed of the car 15k/h. On the graph, at 5s. Wherever the line is, will tell you what the speed is.

What force causes weight? How is weight affected as an object moves farther away from the center of the earth?

stich3 [128]

Gravity affects weight of an object

Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away

katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$
