Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.

That was FOUR half-lifes.

X = 4 .

A football kicked in front of a goal post at an angle of 45 degree to the ground just clear the top by of the post 3m high. Calc
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A. 10.84 m/s

B. 1.56 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

A. Determination of the velocity of projection.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

H = u²Sine²θ / 2g

3 = u²(Sine 45)² / 2 × 9.8

3 = u²(0.7071)² / 19.6

Cross multiply

3 × 19.6 = u²(0.7071)²

58.8 = u²(0.7071)²

Divide both side by (0.7071)²

u² = 58.8 / (0.7071)²

u² = 117.60

Take the square root of both side

u = √117.60

u = 10.84 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of projection is 10.84 m/s.

B. Determination of the time taken to hit the ground again.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Velocity of projection (u) = 10.84 m/s

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

T = 2uSine θ /g

T = 2 × 10.84 × Sine 45 / 9.8

T = 21.68 × 0.7071 / 9.8

T = 1.56 s

Therefore, the time taken to hit the ground again is 1.56 s.

A projectile is launched at an angle above the
gtnhenbr [62]
The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.

The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.

v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s

Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.

The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.

Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s
