Answer: 3.5 seconds

EXPLANATION:

Using the formula:
v = u + at
And taking the upwards direction as positive, we have the following information:

u = 35 m/s
a = -10m/s^2 (this is acceleration due to gravity)

At the top of its path, the apple will have a velocity of 0 m/s, therefore:

v = 0m/s

Once you substitute everything into the formula, you get:

0 = 35 + (-10)t

Therefore, t = 35/10 = 3.5 seconds

Lori’s family is on a road trip. They split their drive into the five legs listed in the table. Find the average velocity for ea

NARA [144]

It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip.

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing.
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion. If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E:
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !

The horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, so it consists of two independent motions:

A uniform motion along the horizontal (x) direction
A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical (y) direction

We start by calculating the time of flight of the ball. This can be done by analyzing the vertical motion. We can use the following suvat equation:

$s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where:

s = -16.5 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (it is negative because we take upward as positive direction)

$u_y$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball, which is given by

$u_y = u sin \theta$

where

u = 23.5 m/s is the initial velocity

$\theta=33.5^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

Substituting,

$u_y=(23.5)(sin 33.5^{\circ})=13.0 m/s$

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, downward

Substituting everything into the equation we get:

$-16.5=13.0t-4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-13.0t-16.5=0$

Solving the equation for t, we find the time of flight of the ball:

t = -0.94 s

t = 3.59 s

We ignore the 1st solution since it is negative, so the ball reaches the water after 3.59 seconds.

Now we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. The horizontal velocity is constant and it is:

$v_x=u cos \theta=(23.5)(cos 33.5^{\circ})=19.6 m/s$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

And substituting t = 3.59 s, we find

$d=(19.6)(3.59)=70.4 m$

So, the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m.

Two forces F1 and F2 act on an object at a point P in the indicated directions. The magnitude of F1 is 15 lb and the magnitude o

adoni [48]

Answer

given,

F₁ = 15 lb

F₂ = 8 lb

θ₁ = 45°

θ₂ = 25°

Assuming the question's diagram is attached below.

now,

computing the horizontal component of the forces.

F_h = F₁ cos θ₁ - F₂ cos θ₂

F_h = 15 cos 45° - 8 cos 25°

F_h = 3.36 lb

now, vertical component of the forces

F_v = F₁ sin θ₁ + F₂ sin θ₂

F_v = 15 sin 45° + 8 sin 25°

F_v = 13.98 lb

resultant force would be equal to

$F = \sqrt{F_h^2+F_v^2}$

$F = \sqrt{3.36^2+13.98^2}$

F = 14.38 lb

the magnitude of resultant force is equal to 14.38 lb

direction of forces

$\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{F_v}{F_h})$

$\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{13.98}{3.36})$

θ = 76.48°
