Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

Artemon [7]

Answer:

1.   3 m/s^{2}

2.   1.5 m/s^{2}

3.   3 seconds

4.   0 m/s^{2}

5.   2.2 seconds

Explanation:

(1)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=0 since it’s at rest, v=30m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {30-0}{10}=3 m/s^{2}

(2)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=10m/s, v=22m/s and t=8 seconds

a = \frac {22-10}{8}=1.5 m/s^{2}

(3)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=0m/s since at rest, v=15m/s and a=5 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {15-0}{5}=3s

(4)

When initial and final velocity are constant, there’s no acceleration as proven below

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=20 since it’s at rest, v=20m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {20-20}{10}=0 m/s^{2}

(5)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=9m/s since at rest, v=0m/s and a=-4.1 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {0-9}{-4.1}=2.2s

If the lily pads are spaced 2.4 m apart and Ferdinand jumps with a speed of 5 m/s taking 0.6 s to go from lily pad to lily pad,
Zina [86]

Answer:

36.87^{\circ}

Explanation:

v = Velocity of Ferdinand = 5 m/s

\theta = Angle of jump

T = Time taken = 0.6 s

R = Distance between lily pads = 2.4 m

Horizontal range is given by

R=v_xT\\\Rightarrow R=vcos\theta T\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{R}{vT}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\dfrac{2.4}{5\times 0.6}\\\Rightarrow \theta=36.87^{\circ}

The angle at which Ferdinand make each of his jumps is 36.87^{\circ}

A swimmer is swimming to the left with a speed of 1.0 m/s when she starts to speed up with constant acceleration. The swimmer re
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Correct answer: t = 2.86 seconds

Explanation:

We first use this formula

V² - V₀² = 2 a d    

where V is the final velocity (speed), V₀ the initial velocity (speed),

a the acceleration and d the distance.

We will calculate the acceleration from this formula

a = (V² - V₀²) / (2 d) = (2.5² - 1²) / (2 · 5) = (6.25 - 1) / 10 = 5.25 / 10

a = 0.525 m/s²

then we use this formula

V = V₀ + a t  => t = (V - V₀) / a = (2.5 - 1) / 0.525 = 1.5 / 0.525 = 2.86 seconds

t = 2.86 seconds
