If a projectile was launched at an angle of 13 degrees above the ground and hit its target 14.3 m away, what was the projectile'

Answer:

18 m/s

Explanation:

Range of a projectile on level ground is:

R = v₀² sin(2θ) / g

14.3 m = v₀² sin(2×13°) / 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = 17.9 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the launch speed was 18 m/s.

The bending of waves as they pass between media is called .?

Rufina [12.5K]

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. Refraction is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

Alex

Answer:

A) The speed of the water must be 8.30 m/s.

B) Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver is 70.12 Joules.

Explanation:

A) Mass of squid with water = 6.50 kg

Mass of water in squid cavuty = 1.55 kg

Mass of squid = $m_1=6.50 kg- 1.55 kg=4.95 kg$

Velocity achieved by squid = $v_1=2.60 m/s$

Momentum gained by squid = $P=m_1v_1$

Mass of water = $m_2=1.55 kg$

Velocity by which water was released by squid = $v_2$

Momentum gained by water but in opposite direction = $P'=m_2v_2$

P = P'

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$v_2=\frac{m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{4.95 kg\times 2.60 m/s}{1.55 kg}=8.30 m/s$

B) Kinetic energy does the squid create by this maneuver:

Kinetic energy of squid = K.E = $\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}$

Kinetic energy of water = K.E' = $\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

Total kinetic energy created by this maneuver:

$K.E+K.E'=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.95 kg\times (2.60 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.55 kg\times (8.30 m/s)^2=70.12 Joules$

If the vertical component of velocity for a projectile is 7.3 meters/second, what is its hang time?

Kamila [148]

A projectile motion is characterized by motion moving in a direction of an arc. It is acted upon by two component vectors: the horizontal and vertical. These two vectors are independent of each other when it comes to time of flight. The horizontal direction travels at constant speed, while the vertical direction travels at constant acceleration due to gravity, The time for an object to reach the ground would be equal, whether dropped from the sampe point or thrown in a projectile motion. Of course, this is assuming ideality wherein there is no air resistance.

So, the hang up time, or the time the object stayed on air is calculated using this equation:

a = Δv/t
Δv is the change in velocity which is the initial velocity when it was dropped to when it reaches zero velocity when it hits the ground.
9.81 m/s² = |(0 - 7.3)|/t
t = 0.744 seconds

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= $10+1.50$

= $11.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{11.5}$

$=26.08 \ s$

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= $10-1.50$

= $8.5 \ m/s$

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ $v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t$

$=\frac{d}{v}$

On putting the values, we get

$=\frac{300}{8.5}$

$=35.29 \ s$

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= $26.08+35.29$

= $61.37 \ s$
