The diagram shows the parabolic path of a projectile that leaves the foot of a kicker with a horizontal velocity of 15 m/s and a

vertical velocity of 19.6 m/s. You are asked to analyze the game film for the kicker’s attempt at the extra point. You notice that the ball fell approximately 10 m short of the goal so the team did not receive the three points for the field goal. Neglecting air resistance, use Claims, Evidence, and Reasoning to describe what factor(s) you would change to make the ball go the extra distance to cross the goal line.

Answer:

I would increase the horizontal velocity or the vertical velocity or both to make the ball go the extra distance to cross the goal line.

Explanation:

In order to increase the horizontal distance covered by the ball, we need to examine the variables involved in the formula of range of projectile. The formula for the range of projectile is given as follows:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where, g is a constant on earth (acceleration due to gravity) and θ is the angle of ball with ground at the time of launching. The value of θ should be 45° for maximum range. In this case we do not know the angle so, we can not tell if we should change it or not.

The only parameter here which we can increase to increase the range is launch velocity (V₀). The formula for V₀ in terms of horizontal and vertical components is as follows:

V₀ = √(V₀ₓ² + V₀y²)

where,

V₀ₓ = Horizontal Velocity

V₀y = Vertical Velocity

Hence, it is clear from the formula that we can increase both the horizontal and vertical velocity to increase the initial speed which in turn increases the horizontal distance covered by the ball.

<u>Therefore, I would increase the horizontal velocity or the vertical velocity or both to make the ball go the extra distance to cross the goal line.</u>

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

1. 6.672 kPa

2. 49.05 mm of mercury

Explanation:

h = 6400 m

Absolute pressure, p = 46 kPa = 46000 Pa

density of air, d = 0.823 kg/m^3

density of mercury, D = 13600 kg/m^3

(a) Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + pressure due to height

46000 = Atmospheric pressure + h x d x g

Atmospheric pressure = 46000 - 6400 x 0.823 x 10 = 6672 Pa = 6.672 kPa

(b) To convert the pressure into mercury pressure

Atmospheric pressure = H x D x g

Where, H is the height of mercury, D be the density of mercury, g be the acceleration due to gravity

6672 = H x 13600 x 10

H = 0.04905 m

H = 49.05 mm of mercury
