A quarterback claims that he can throw the football a horizontal distance of 167 m. Furthermore, he claims that he can do this b

y launching the ball at the relatively low angle of 33.1 ° above the horizontal. To evaluate this claim, determine the speed with which this quarterback must throw the ball. Assume that the ball is launched and caught at the same vertical level and that air resistance can be ignored. For comparison a baseball pitcher who can accurately throw a fastball at 45 m/s (100 mph) would be considered exceptional.

Answer:u=42.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal distance=167 m

launch angle $=33.1^{\circ}$

Let u be the initial speed of ball

Range $=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

$167=\frac{u^2\sin (66.2)}{9.8}$

$u^2=1788.71$

$u=\sqrt{1788.71}$

$u=42.29 m/s$

Kay [80]

Answer:

333.3 m

Explanation:

Given

$m =100g\ =\ 0.1kg\\v = 100 m/s\\g = 10 m/s ^2$

Potential energy = $\frac{2}{3}\ of\ Kinetic\ energy$ ......Equation(1)

We know that

Potential energy=mgh

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

Now From the Equation(1)

$mgh=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}\\ gh=\frac{v^{2} }{3} \\10 * h=\ \frac{10000}{3}\\ h=\ \frac{1000}{3} \\h=333.3\ m$

2 resistors of resistance 1000 ohm and 2000 ohm are joined in series with a 100V supply. A voltmeter of internal resistance 4000

Vadim26 [7]

<h2>The voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt </h2>

Explanation:

The resistor 1000 ohm and 4000 ohm are connected in parallel .

Their combined resistance is supposed R₁

Thus $\frac{1}{R_1}$ = $\frac{1}{1000}$ + $\frac{1}{4000}$

or R₁ = 800 ohm

Therefore the total resistance in circuit is = 2000 + 800 = 2800 ohm

Because these are in series .

We can find current flowing through the circuit I = $\frac{V}{R}$ = $\frac{100}{2800}$ = $\frac{1}{28}$

here R is total resistance .

The potential difference across 1000 ohm = $\frac{1}{28}$ x 1000 = 35.7 volt

Thus voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by $F=mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
$F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N$

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different: $g=3.7 m/s^2$ . The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: $F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N$

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
$g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2$

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2$

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2$

Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement co

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Its acceleration is positive

Explanation:

As the car is moving in the negative x-direction than after applying brake then there will be a decrease in the acceleration but in the opposite direction.

As decreasing acceleration consider to be negative but the car is moving in negative direction which means increasing acceleration is negative by sign convention but by applying brake acceleration decrease but in opposite direction than it will give positive value of acceleration.
