A man hits a 50 grams golf ball such that it leaves the tee at an angle of 40o with the horizontal and strikes the ground at the

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Range of projectile R = 20 m

formula of range

R = u² sin2θ / g

u is initial velocity , θ is angle of projectile

putting the values

20 = u² sin2x 40 / 9.8

u² = 199

u = 14.10 m /s

At the initial point

vertical component of u

= u sin40 = 14.1 x sin 40

= 9.06 m/s

Horizontal component

= u cos 30

At the final point where the ball strikes the ground after falling , its speed remains the same as that in the beginning .

Horizontal component of velocity

u cos 30

Vertical component

= - u sin 30

= - 9.06 m /s

So its horizontal component remains unchanged .

change in vertical component = 9.06 - ( - 9.06 )

= 18.12 m /s

change in momentum

mass x change in velocity

= .050 x 18.12

= .906 N.s

Impulse = change in momentum

= .906 N.s .

Why are metals good conductors of both heat and electricity?

serious [3.7K]

They are both good conductors if both heat and electricity due to the sea of delocalized electrons that is floating around without getting bonded to an atom.

Such electrons can flow around freely to conduct heat and electricity.

A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 20.0 m/ s. A I.O-kg stone is thrown

nadya68 [22]

(a) 296.6 m

The motion of the stone is the motion of a projectile, thrown with a horizontal speed of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

and with an initial vertical velocity of

$v_{y0} = -20.0 m/s$

where we have put a negative sign to indicate that the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the stone at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_{0y} t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (1)

where

h is the initial height

g = -9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The stone hits the ground after a time t = 6.00 s, so at this time the vertical position is zero:

y(6.00 s) = 0

Substituting into eq.(1), we can solve to find the initial height of the stone, h:

$0 = h + v_{0y} y + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\h = -v_{0y} y - \frac{1}{2}gt^2=-(-20.0 m/s)(6.00 s) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(6.00 s)^2=296.6 m$

(b) 176.6 m

The balloon is moving downward with a constant vertical speed of

$v_y = -20 m/s$

So the vertical position of the balloon after a time t is

$y(t) = h + v_y t$

and substituting t = 6.0 s and h = 296.6 m, we find the height of the balloon when the rock hits the ground:

$y(t) = 296.6 m + (-20.0 m)(6.00 s)=176.6 m$

(c) 198.2 m

In order to find how far is the rock from the balloon when it hits the ground, we need to find the horizontal distance covered by the rock during the time of the fall.

The horizontal speed of the rock is

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled in t = 6.00 s is

$d_x = v_x t = (15.0 m/s)(6.00 s)=90 m$

Considering also that the vertical height of the balloon after t=6.00 s is

$d_y = 176.6 m$

The distance between the balloon and the rock can be found by using Pythagorean theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(90 m)^2+(176.6 m)^2}=198.2 m$

(di) 15.0 m/s, -58.8 m/s

For an observer at rest in the basket, the rock is moving horizontally with a velocity of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer at rest in the basket is

$v_y (t) = gt$

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

$v_y = (-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-58.8 m/s$

(dii) 15.0 m/s, -78.8 m/s

For an observer at rest on the ground, the rock is still moving horizontally with a velocity of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer on the ground is now given by

$v_y (t) = v_{0y} + gt$

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

$v_y = (-20.0 m/s)+(-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-78.8 m/s$

A pilot heads his jet due east. The jet has a speed of 475 mi/h relative to the air. The wind is blowing due north with a speed

oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

a. The velocity of the wind as a vector in component form will be represented as v vector:

$v=30j$

b.The velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form will be represented as u vector

$u=475i$

c. The true velocity of the jet as a vector will be represented as w:

$w=u+v$

$w=475i+30j$

d. The true speed of the jet will be calculated as:

$IwI=\sqrt{(475)^2+(30)^2}$

$IwI=\sqrt{225625+900}$

$IwI=\sqrt{226525}$

$IwI=476 mi/h$

e. The direction of the jet will be:

$tita=tan^{-1}\frac{30}{475}$

$tita=tan^{-1}(0.0632)$

$tita=3.62degrees,or,N86.38degreesS$
