<h2>Answer:</h2>

24m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Consider one of the equations of motion as follows;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at²            ----------------------------(i)

Where;

s = vertical/horizontal displacement of the body in motion

u = initial vertical/horizontal displacement of the body

t = time taken for the displacement

a = vertical/horizontal acceleration of the body.

Now, since the particle being considered moves in an xy-coordinate system, then equation (i) above can be resolved into the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) components as follows;

<u>Horizontal (x-coordinate) component</u>

s_{x} = u_{x} t + \frac{1}{2} a_{x}t²     ------------------(ii)

Where;

s_{x} = horizontal displacement (x-coordinate) of the particle in motion

u_{x} = initial horizontal displacement of the particle

t = time taken for the displacement

a_{x} = horizontal (x-direction) acceleration of the body.

<u>Vertical (y-coordinate) component</u>

s_{y} = u_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} a_{y}t²      -------------------(iii)

Where;

s_{y} = vertical displacement (y-coordinate) of the particle in motion

u_{y} = initial vertical displacement of the particle

t = time taken for the displacement

a_{y} = vertical (y-direction) acceleration of the body.

(A) Now, using equation (iii), from the question;

u_{y} = 0              [since the particle starts from rest, initial velocity is zero]

a_{y} = 1m/s²        [acceleration in the y-direction]

s_{y} = 12m           [y-coordinate value]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

12 = 0 t +  \frac{1}{2} (1) t²

12 =   \frac{1}{2} t²          [Multiply through by 2]

24 = t²              [Solve for t]

t = \sqrt{24} seconds

(B) Also, using equation (ii), from the question;

u_{x} = 0              [since the particle starts from rest, initial velocity is zero]

a_{x} = 2m/s²       [acceleration in the x-direction]

s_{x} = ?               [x-coordinate value]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

s_{x} = 0 t +  \frac{1}{2} (2) t²

s_{x} =  t²             -------------------(iv)

But t = \sqrt{24} seconds as calculated above, substitute this value into equation (iv)

s_{x} = (\sqrt{24})²              [Solve for s_{x}]

s_{x} = 24

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the particle when the y-coordinate is 12m is 24m

Answer:

When the y-coordinate is 12m, the x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m

Explanation:

Given;

y - component of acceleration = 1 m/s²

X - component of acceleration = 2 m/s²

distance traveled in y - direction, Dy = 12 m

To determine the distance traveled in X- direction, we obtain the duration of the displacement in y- direction.

Applying equation of motion;

Dy = ¹/₂ x at²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{a}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*12}{1}} = 4.9 s

For distance traveled in x -direction;

Dx = ¹/₂ x at²

Dx = ¹/₂ x 2 x (4.9)² = 24.01 m ≅ 24m

Therefore, when the y-coordinate is 12m, the x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m

3. A football is kicked with a speed of 35 m/s at an angle of 40°.
jarptica [38.1K]

a) 22.5 m/s

The initial vertical velocity is given by:

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 35 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

u_y = (35)(sin 40)=22.5 m/s

b) 26.8 m/s

The initial horizontal velocity is given by:

u_x = u cos \theta

where

u = 35 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle of projection of the ball

Substituting into the equation, we find

u_x = (35)(cos 40)=26.8 m/s

c) 2.30 s

The time it takes for the ball to reach the maximum heigth can be found by considering the vertical motion only. This is a uniformly accelerated motion (free-fall), so we can use the suvat equation

v_y = u_y + at

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y = 22.5 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

At the maximum height, the vertical velocity becomes zero, v_y =0; substituting, we find the time t at which this happens:

0=u_y + gt\\t=-\frac{u_y}{g}=-\frac{22.5}{-9.8}=2.30 s

d) 25.8 m

The maximum height can also be found by considering the vertical motion only. We can use the following suvat equation:

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

where

s is the vertical displacement at time t

u_y = 22.5 m/s

g=-9.8 m/s^2

Substituting t = 2.30 s, we find the displacement at maximum height, so the maximum height:

s=(22.5)(2.30)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(2.30)^2=25.8 m

e) 123.3 m

In order to find how far does the ball lands, we have to consider the horizontal motion.

First of all, the time it takes for the ball to go back to the ground is twice the time needed for reaching the maximum height:

t=2(2.30 s)=4.60 s

Then, we consider the horizontal motion. There is no acceleration along this direction, so the horizontal velocity is constant:

v_x = 26.8 m/s

Therefore, the horizontal distance travelled during the whole motion is

d=v_x t = (26.8)(4.60)=123.3 m

So, the ball lands 123.3 m far from the initial point.

What are the similarities between strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force
Artemon [7]
Alike because they both act on the quarks making up the nucleons and they have very short ranges. The Strong Nuclear Force is an attractive force between protons and neutrons that keep the nucleus together and the Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for the radioactive decay of certain nuclei. Which also makes them very different

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
podryga [215]

Answer: critical angle, sin^-1 (n2/n1)

Explanation: the angle of incidence at which the retracted ray makes an angle of 90° with the normal is known as the critical angle.

Snell's law defined refraction mathematically as shown below

n1 sin θi = n2 sin θr

n1 = refractive index of the first medium

n2 = refractive index of the second medium

θi = angle of incidence

θr = angle of refraction

When the refrafted ray is perpendicular to the normal, the angle of refraction (θr) is 90° hence making the angle of incidence (θi) the critical angle θc

By substituting these conditions into the Snell's law, we have that

n1 sin θc = n2 sin 90

According to trigonometry, the value of sin 90 is 1, hence we have that

n1 sin θc =n2

sin θc = n2/n1

θc = sin^-1 (n2/n1)
