We know that the ball traveled with an initial velocity of 40m/s at a 30° angle above the horizontal. The image below shows how much of this velocity was upward velocity and how much was horizontal velocity. Upward velocity was 20 m/s and horizontal velocity was √(40) m/s, or 2√(10) m/s. We get these numbers from the ratios of the 30-60-90 triangle. 

a) What is the flight time of the cannonball?
The flight time of the cannonball can be found by finding the time at which the upward velocity equals zero (the top of the ball's trajectory) and then finding how long it took to hit the ground after that point.

To find where upward velocity equals zero:
V = Vi - a(t) ,  where V equals vertical velocity, Vi equals initial vertical velocity, and a equals acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s²)
V = 20 - 9.8(t)          Set V equal to zero, because we want to find the moment when the ball reached the peak of its travel path
0 = 20 -9.8t         Add 20 to both sides, then divide by 9.8
t = 2.041
This is the point where the ball was at the top of its trajectory.

At this point, How high was the ball?
d = Vi x t + (1/2) (a) (t²) , where d is distance traveled
d = 20(2.041) + (1/2) (-9.8) (2.041²)
d = 20.388
Remember that the ball was launched from 25 m above the ground, so add 25 to the height that the ball traveled from this point:
25 + 20.388 = 45.388
This was the height the ball reached before it started to come down. Plug this into the distance formula to see how long it took to hit the ground. Remember that this is similar to the ball being dropped from rest from this height, since vertical velocity was zero.
45.388 = (0)(t) - (1/2) (-9.8) (t²)    Multiply both sides by (-2/-9.8)
9.26 = t²
t = 3.043
We know that it took 2.041 seconds to reach the peak height, and 3.043 seconds to come down. 
Total flight time = 2.041 + 3.043 = 5.084 seconds

Remember that, neglecting air resistance, the ball will maintain the same horizontal velocity the entire time. This means the horizontal velocity was 10√2 during the entire flight time.
distance = velocity * time = 5.084 * 10√2 = 32.154

Which best describes how the current scientific model of the atom was developed?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A. The model was the result of hundreds of years of experiments.

Explanation:

Since it is not possible to visualize an atom in isolation, scientists have spent hundreds of years experimenting and creating atomic models, that is, images that serve to explain the constitution, properties and behavior of atoms.

The earliest who imagined the existence of the atoms were the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus in about 450 BCE. According to them, everything would be formed by tiny indivisible particles. Hence the origin of the name "atom", which comes from the Greek a (no) and tome (parts).

But in the nineteenth century, some scientists began to conduct experimental tests increasingly accurate thanks to technological advances. Not only was it discovered that everything was actually made up of tiny particles, but it was also possible to understand more and more about the atomic structure.

Scientists used the information discovered by other scholars to develop the atomic model. In this way, the discoveries of one scientist were replaced by those of others. The concepts that were correct remained, but those that proved to be non-real were now abandoned. Thus, new atomic models were created. This series of discoveries of the atomic structure until arriving at the accepted models today was known like the evolution of the atomic model.

The overhang beam is subjected to the uniform distributed load having an intensity of w = 50 kn/m. determine the maximum shear s
alex41 [277]
Given:

Uniform distributed load with an intensity of W = 50 kN / m on an overhang beam.

We need to determine the maximum shear stress developed in the beam:

τ = F/A

Assuming the area of the beam is 100 m^2 with a length of 10 m.

τ = F/A
τ = W/l
τ = 50kN/m / 10 m
τ = 5kN/m^2
τ = 5000 N/ m^2<span />
