Now, let's see what happens when the cannon is high above the ground. Click on the cannon, and drag it upward as far as it goes

(15 m above the ground). Set the initial velocity to 14 m/s, and fire several pumpkins while varying the angle. For what angle is the range the greatest?
choices:


A. 45∘

B. 20∘

C. 30∘

D. 40∘

Answer:

<h2>B. 20°</h2>

Explanation:

Range in projectile is defined as the distance covered in the horizontal direction. It is expressed as R = U²sin2Ф/g

U is the initial velocity of the body (in m/s)

Ф is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given U = 14m/s, g = 9.8m/s and range R = 15 m

we will substitute this value into the formula to get the projection angle Ф as shown;

15 = 15²sin2Ф/9.8

15*9.8 = 15²sin2Ф

147 = 225sin2Ф

sin2Ф = 147/225

sin2Ф = 0.6533

2Ф = sin⁻¹0.6533

2Ф = 40.79°

Ф = 40.79°/2

Ф = 20.39° ≈ 20°

Hence, the range is greatest at angle 20°

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

When a sound wave moves through a medium such as air, the motion of the molecules of the medium is in what direction (with respe
Alchen [17]

<span>A sound wave is a pressure wave that results from the vibration of the particles o the medium from the source. The motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the energy transport. The type of wave formed by a sound wave is the longitudinal wave. </span>A longitudinal wave is characterized by rarefactions. A longitudinal wave is a wave motion wherein the particles in the wave medium are displaced parallel to transport. When motion is detected from the source, the particle next to it vibrates from its rest position and a progressive change in phase vibration is observed at each particle within that wave. The result is that the energy is transported from one region to the other. These combined motions result in the movement of alternating regions of rarefaction in the direction of propagation.

A baseball is hit so that it travels straight upward after being struck by the bat. A fan observes that it takes 2.90 seconds fo
Natasha_Volkova [10]
We'll assume that the whole scene takes place on Earth.
So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.

a).  Gravity makes anything fall 9.8 m/s faster every second.
That's the same thing as rising 9.8 m/s slower every second.

If it takes 2.9 seconds to reach its maximum height, then
it must have started out rising at (9.8 x 2.9) = 28.4 m/s.

b).  The ball left the bat at 28.4 m/s.
After 2.9 seconds, its speed was zero. (That's why it started falling.)
It's average speed during the climb was

                 1/2 (28.4 + 0)  =  14.2 m/s .

It rose straight up at an average speed of 14.2 m/s for 2.9 seconds,
so it reached a maximum  height of

                 (14.2 x 2.9)  =   41.2 meters    .
