Answer: 1.289 m
Explanation:
The path the cobra's venom follows since it is spitted until it hits the ground, is described by a parabola. Hence, the equations for parabolic motion (which has two components) can be applied to solve this problem:
<u>x-component:
</u>
(1)
Where:
is the horizontal distance traveled by the venom
is the venom's initial speed
is the angle
is the time since the venom is spitted until it hits the ground
<u>y-component:
</u>
(2)
Where:
is the initial height of the venom
is the final height of the venom (when it finally hits the ground)
is the acceleration due gravity
Let's begin with (2) to find the time it takes the complete path:
(3)
Rewritting (3):
(4)
This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form
, which can be solved with the following formula:
(5)
Where:
Substituting the known values:
(6)
Solving (6) we find the positive result is:
(7)
Substituting (7) in (1):
(8)
We finally find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom:
Answer:
Clockwise
Explanation:
All of the planets rotate the same way around the sun.
Answer:
0.47 N
Explanation:
Here we have a ball in motion along a circular track.
For an object in circular motion, there is a force that "pulls" the object towards the centre of the circle, and this force is responsible for keeping the object in circular motion.
This force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by:

where
m is the mass of the object
is the angular velocity
r is the radius of the circle
For the ball in this problem we have:
m = 40 g = 0.04 kg is the mass of the ball
is the angular velocity
r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is the radius of the circle
Substituting, we find the force:

<span>1. It must be an object which independently orbits the Sun (this means moons can't be considered planets, since they orbit planets)
2. It must have enough mass that its own gravity pulls it into a spheroidal shape.
3. </span><span>It must be large enough to "dominate" its orbit (i.e. its mass must be much larger than anything else which crosses its orbit).</span>
