Answer:

The football must be launched whit an angle of 20,487 degrees to reach a maximum height of 10 meters.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the parabolic motion equations:

We define:

v_{i}: total initial speed  =40\frac{m}{s}

v_{iy}:initial speed component in vertical direction (y) =v_{i} sin\alpha

v_{y}: vertical speed at any point on the parabolic path

g= acceleration of gravity= 9,8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

\alpha= angle that forms the total initial velocity with the ground

Equation of the speed of the football in the vertical direction :

(v_{y} )^{2}=(v_{iy} )^{2} -2*g*y  Equation (1)  

We replacev_{iy} =40*sin\alpha, g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }  in the equation (1):

(v_{y} )^{2} =(40*sin\alpha )^{2} -2*9.8*y Equation(2)

Angle calculation

The speed of the football in the vertical direction gradually decreases until its value is zero when it reaches the maximum height.

We replacev_{y} =0 , y=10 in the equation (2)

0=(40*sin\alpha )^{2} -2*9.8*10

0=1600*(sin\alpha )^{2} -196

\frac{196}{1600} =(sen\alpha )^{2}

0.1225=(sin\alpha )^{2}

\sqrt{0.1225} =sin\alpha

0.35=sin\alpha

\alpha =20.487 °

Answer:The football must be launched whit an angle of 20,487 degrees to reach a maximum height of 10 meters.

If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

Projectiles that strike objects are good examples of inelastic collisions. A 0.1 kg nail driven by a gas powered nail driver col
Ratling [72]
In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find v_f, the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}=  0.48 m/s

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
p_i = mv_i = p_f
Rearranging the formula, we can find v_i, the velocity of the nail before the collision:
v_i =  \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s
