A ball is hit 1 meter above the ground with an initial speed of 40 m/s. If the ball is hit at an angle of 30 above the horizonta

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$t_t=4.131\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

height above the horizontal form where the ball is hit, $y=1\ m$

angle of projectile above the horizontal, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

initial speed of the projectile, $u=40\ m.s^{-1}$

Firstly we find the vertical component of the initial velocity:

$u_y=u.\sin\theta$

$u_y=40\times \sin30^{\circ}$

$u_y=20\ m.s^{-1}$

During the course of ascend in height of the ball when it reaches the maximum height then its vertical component of the velocity becomes zero.

So final vertical velocity during the course of ascend:

$v_y=0\ m.s^{-1}$

Using eq. of motion:

$v_y^2=u_y^2-2g.h$ (-ve sign means that the direction of velocity is opposite to the direction of acceleration)

$0^2=20^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

$h=20.4082\ m$ (from the height where it is thrown)

Now we find the time taken to ascend to this height:

$v_y=u_y-g.t$

$0=20-9.8t$

$t=2.041\ s$

Time taken to descent the total height:

we've total height, $h'=h+y$ $=20.4082+1$

$h'=u_y'.t'+\frac{1}{2} g.t'^2$

during the course of descend its initial vertical velocity is zero because it is at the top height, so $u_y'=0\ m.s^{-1}$

$21.4082=0+4.9t'^2$

$t'=2.09\ s$

Now the total time taken by the ball to hit the ground:

$t_t=t'+t$

$t_t=2.09+2.041$

$t_t=4.131\ s$

Give an example of a theory scientists believed for a long time that was eventually proved false

jolli1 [7]

There are so many to choose from, I'll give you two. One is a big one. The other so/so. People used to believe the earth was flat and you would fall off, until Christopher Columbus sailed across. And another interesting one is the vulcan planet theory, which is that there was an extra planet between Mercury and T sun. however it turned out to be false. So there, need anymore just tell me.

Una mochila tiene una masa de 5.9 Kg y se mueve con una aceleración de: 0.53 m/ seg2. ¿ Cuál es la fuerza que debe aplicar ?.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

3,13 N

Explanation:

Del enunciado de la segunda ley del movimiento de Newton;

F = ma

Dónde;

F = Fuerza aplicada

m = masa del cuerpo

a = aceleración del cuerpo

Sustitución de valores;

F = 5,9 kg * 0,53 m / seg2 = 3,13 N

Por tanto, la fuerza aplicada es 3,13 N
