<h2>Option C is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 18 m/s to east

Final velocity, v = 19 m/s to east

Acceleration, a = ?

Time, t = 5 s

Substituting

             v = u + at

             19 = 18 + a x 5

              1 = 5a

               a = 0.2 m/s²

Since the velocity direction is towards east, direction of acceleration is also towards east.

So acceleration is 0.2 m/s² towards east.

Option C is the correct answer.

When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the earth's surface of 2.60 times the earth's radius, what is its acceleration d
Mice21 [21]

The gravitational acceleration at any distance r is given by

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass and r is the distance measured from the center of the Earth.

The Earth's radius is r_e=6.37 \cdot 10^6 m, so the meteoroid is located at a distance of:

r=r_e+2.60 r_e =3.60 r_e =  2.29 \cdot 10^7 m

And by substituting this value into the previous formula, we can find the value of g at that altitude:

g=  \frac{GM}{r^2} =  \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(2.29 \cdot 10^7 m)^2} =0.75 m/s^2

2.) The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his/her he
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball is approximately 5.79 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the ball are;

The initial speed of the ball = 15 m/s

The direction in which the ball is launched = 50° above the horizontal

The location of the other tennis player when the ball is launched = 10 m from the ball

The time at which the other tennis player begins to run = 0.3 seconds after the ball is launched

The height at which the ball is hit back = 2.1 m above the height from which the ball is launched

The vertical position, 'y', at time, 't', of a projectile motion is given as follows;

y = (u·sinθ)·t - 1/2·g·t²

When y = 2.1 m, we have;

2.1 = (15·sin(50°))·t - 1/2·9.8·t²

∴ 4.9·t² - (15·sin(50°))·t + 2.1 = 0

Solving with the aid of a graphing calculator function, we get;

t = 0.199776187257 s or t = 2.14525782198 s

Therefore, the ball is at 2.1 m above the start point on the other side of the court at t ≈ 2.145 seconds

The horizontal distance, 'x', the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds is given as follows;

x = u × cos(50°) × t = 15 × cos(50°) × 2.145 ≈ 20.682 m

The horizontal distance the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds, x ≈ 20.682 m

Therefore, we have;

The time the other player has to reach the ball, t₂ =2.145 s - 0.3 s ≈ 1.845 s

The distance the other player has to run, d = 20.682 m - 10 m = 10.682 m

The minimum average speed the other player has to move with, v_s = d/t₂

∴ v_s = 10.682 m/(1.845 s) ≈ 5.78970189702 m/s ≈ 5.79 m/s

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball, v_s ≈ 5.79 m/s.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

θ=19.877⁰

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity Va=34.0 km/h

Velocity Va=100 km/h

To find

Angle θ

Solution  

We want the bird to fly with velocity Vb=100 km/h with an angle θ relative to the ground so that the bird fly due south relative to the ground.From figure which is attached we got

Sinθ=(Va/Vb)

Sinθ=(34.0/100)

θ=Sin⁻¹(34.0/100)

θ=19.877⁰
