The answers are:

(i) 6.35m

(ii) 20.2 m/s


It seems like you already have the answer, but let me show you how to get it:


You have two givens:

Vi = 19.5m/s

Θ = 30°

dy = 1.50m (This is not the maximum height, just to be clear)


When working with these types of equations, you just need to know your kinematics equations. For projectiles launched at an angle, you will need to first break down the initial velocity (Vi) into its horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components.


*<em>Now remember this, if you are solving for something in the horizontal movement always use only x-components. When solving for vertical movements, always use y-components. </em>


Let's move on to breaking down the initial velocity into both y and x components.


Viy = SinΘVi = (Sin30°)(19.5m/s) = <em>9.75 m/s</em>

Vix = CosΘVi = (Cos30°)(19.5m/s) = <em>16.89 m/s</em>


Okay, so we have that down now. The next step is to decide which kinematics equation you will use. Because you have no time, you need to use the kinematic equation that is not time dependent.


(i) Maximum height above the ground


Remember that the object was thrown 1.50m above the ground. So we save that for later. First we need to solve for the maximum height above the horizontal, or the point where it was thrown.


The kinematics equation you will use is:

Vf^{2} = Vi^{2}+2ad


Where:

Vf = final velocity

Vi = inital velocity

a = 9.8m/s²

d = displacement


We will derive our displacement from this equation. And you will come up with this:

d = \dfrac{Vf^{2}-Vi^{2}}{2a}


Again, remember that we are looking for a vertical component or y-component because we are looking for HEIGHT. So we use this plugging in vertical values only.


Vf at maximum height is always 0m/s because at maximum height, objects stop. Also because gravity is a downwards force you will use -9.8m/s².

Vfy = 0 m/s a = -9.8m/s² Viy = 9.75m/s

dy = \dfrac{Vfy^{2}-Viy^{2}}{2a}

dy = \dfrac{0^{2}-(9.75m/s)^{2}}{2(-9.8m/s^{2})}

dy = \dfrac{0^{2}-(9.75m/s)^{2}}{2(-9.8m/s^{2})}

dy = \dfrac{-95.0625m^{2}/s^{2}}{-19.6m/s^{2}}

dy = 4.85m


So from the point it was thrown, it reached a height of 4.85m. Now we add that to the height it was thrown to get the MAXIMUM HEIGHT <em>ABOVE THE GROUND.</em>


4.85m + 1.50m = 6.35m


(ii) Speed before it strikes the ground. (Vf=resultant velocity)

Okay, so here we need to consider a couple of things. To get the VF we need to first figure out the final velocities of both the x and y components. We are combining them to get the resultant velocity.


Vfx = horizontal velocity = Initial horizontal velocity (Vix). This is because gravity is not acting upon the horizontal movement so it remains constant.


Vfy = ?

VF =?


We need to solve this, again, using the same formula, but this time, you need to consider we are moving downwards now. So this time, instead of Vfy being 0 m/s, Viy is now 0 m/s. This is because it started moving from rest.


Vfy^{2} = Viy^{2}+2ad

Vfy^{2} = 0m/s^{2}+2(9.8m/s^{2}(6.35m)

\sqrt{Vfy^{2}} = \sqrt{124.46m^{2}/s^{2}}

Vfy= 11.16m/s


OKAY! We are at our last step. Now to get the resultant velocity, we apply the Pythagorean theorem.


Vf^{2} = Vfx^{2} + Vfy^{2}

\sqrt{Vf^{2}} = \sqrt{(16.89m/s)^{2}+(11.16m/s)^{2}}

Vf =20.2m/s


The ball was falling at 20.2m/s before it hit the ground.

An electron is confined to a one dimensional region, bounded by an infinite potential. If the energy of the electron in its firs
OLga [1]

Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

Some birds migrate 20,000 miles. If 1 mile equals 1.6 kilometers, calculate the distance these birds fly in kilometers.
faust18 [17]
Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers

How balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: The balance of oxygen and carbondioxide is made due to respreration and photosinthesis. As we leave carbon dioxide and take in oxygen the ballance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made. And during the photosinthesis of plants the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen is made.
