A motorcyclist is trying to leap across a canyon by driving horizontally off the higher side of the canyon at a speed of 78.0 m/

s. If air resistance is neglected and the difference in height on two sides of the canyon is 252 m, what is the speed of the motorcycle as it reaches the lower side of the canyon?

Answer:

v = (78.0 i ^ - 70.27 j ^) m/s,      v = 105 m / s ,    θ = 318º

Explanation:

We have a projectile launch problem, let's start by calculating the time it takes to get through the canyon

        y = v_{oy} t - ½ gt2

As the motorcyclist comes out horizontally, the speed he has is the horizontal speed (vox) and the initial vertical speed is zero (I go = 0)

       y = 0 - ½ g t2

       t = √ 2y / g

       t = √ (2 252 /9.8)

       t = 7.17 s

Let's calculate the vertical speed for this time

        v_{y}  =  v_{oy}  - gt

        v_{y}  = 0 - gt

       v_{oy}  = - 9.8 7.17

       v_{oy}  = - 70.27 m / s

We can give the result in two ways

First:

    v = (78.0 i ^ - 70.27 j ^) m / s

Second:

using the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry

   v² = vₓ² +  v_{oy} ²

   v = √ [(78.0)² + (-70.42)²] = √ (11042.98)

   v = 105 m / s

   tan θ₁ =  v_{y} y / vₓ

   tan θ₁ = -70.42 / 78.0

   θ₁ = 42º

If we measure this angle from the positive direction of the x-axis counterclockwise

    θ = 360 - θ₁

    θ = 360 - 42

    θ = 318º

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds, what is the baseball’s velocity?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

33.33 m/sec

Explanation:

A baseball travels 200 metes in 6 seconds,

what is the baseball’s velocity?

use the formula: velocity = distance over time

where (d) distance = 200 m

and (t) time = 6 sec.

plugin values into the formula:

v = d / t

  = 200 m / 6 sec

  = 33.33 m/sec.

therefore, the baseball's velocity is 33.33 m/sec

At a distance r from a charge e on a particle of mass m the electric field value is
mel-nik [20]

At a distance r from a charge e on a particle of mass m the electric field value is  8.9876 × 10⁹ N·m²/C². Divide the magnitude of the charge by the square of the distance of the charge from the point. Multiply the value from step 1 with Coulomb's constant.

<h3>what is magnitude ?</h3>

Magnitude can be defined as the maximum extent of size and the direction of an object.

It is used as a common factor in vector and scalar quantities, as we know scalar quantities are those quantities that have magnitude only and vector quantities are those quantities have both magnitude and direction.

There are different ways where magnitude is used Magnitude of earthquake,  charge on an electron, force, displacement, Magnitude of gravitational force

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.
