In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.42 m. The mug

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) $V_{x}=3.72m/s$ , b) ∠=-54.83°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start with a drawing of the situation, this will help us visualize the problem better. (See picture attached).

Now, the idea is that the beer mug has a horizontal speed and no vertical speed at initial conditions. So knowing this, we can start finding the initial velocity of the mug.

In order to do so, we need to find the time it takes for the mug to reach the ground. We can find it by using the following equation:

$y=y_{0}+V_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

We can see from the drawing that y and the initial velocity in y are zero, so we can simplify our formula:

$0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

so we can solve for t, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)y_{0}}{a}}$

so now we can substitute the known values, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)(1.42)}{-9.8}}$

which yields:

t=0.538s

So we can use this value to find the velocity in x:

$V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}$

When substituting we get:

$V_{x}=\frac{2m}{0.538s}$

which yields:

$V_{x}=3.72m/s$

In order to solve part b, we need to find the y-component of the velocity, for which we can use the following formula:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{f}^{2}-V_{0}^{2}}{2a}$

We know that $V_{0}$ is zero, so we can simplify the expression:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{yf}^{2}}{2a}$

So we can solve the equation for $V_{yf}^{2}$ so we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2\Delta y a}$

and when substituting the known values we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2(-1.42m)(-9.8m/s^{2})}$

which yields:

$V_{yf}=-5.28m/s$

Once we got the final velocity in y, we can use it together with the velocity in x to find the angle.

So we can use the following formula:

$tan \theta =\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}}$

when solving for theta we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})$

We can substitute so we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.28m/s}{3.72m/s})$

which yields:

$\theta = -54.83^{o}$

The number of single covalent bonds that most non metallics can form

Veronika [31]

Nonmetals will readily form covalent bonds with other nonmetals in order to obtain stability, and can form anywhere between one to three covalent bonds with other nonmetals depending on how many valence electrons they posses.

A circular pizza into 3 equal parts, one piece of pizza is taken out. Estimate the degree measure of the single piece of pizza a

seropon [69]

Answer:

A circular pizza has a angle of 360 degrees. When you cut it into 3 equal pieces you divide 360 by 3,you get 120 degrees. And following the conversion of 120 degree into radian you get 2pie/3 radians.

A bomb is dropped from a bomber traveling at the speed of 120 km / h, destroying a military objective located at a distance of 2

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

18 km

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

120 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 33.3 m/s

The time it takes the bomb to travel the 2000 meters is:

2000 m / (33.3 m/s) = 60 s

So it takes 60 seconds for the bomb to fall. The distance it fell is therefore:

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (10 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 18,000 m

Δy = 18 km
