Answer:

R = 9.52 m

Explanation:

When an object is thrown horizontally from a certain height into the air under the effect of the gravitational force, the movement of the projectile is observed. Projectile motion has two component, Horizontal component and vertical component.

Initially, Projectile motion has only horizontal component and vertical component is equal to zero. Gradually vertical component of velocity increases due to the influence of gravity.

As the ball followed the projectile path, and we know that in projectile motion the horizontal component of the velocity remains constant throughout its motion. So there is no acceleration along horizontal path.

Given data :

Initial velocity = v_{i} = v_{i_{x}} = 8 m/s

Height = h = 7 m

Horizontal range = R = ?

According to 2nd equation of motion

h = v_{i_{y}}t + 0.5gt²

7 = 0.5*9.8*t²

t = 1.19 s

Using R = v_{i_{x}}t

R = 8*1.19

R = 9.52 m

Step2247 [10]

One of the concepts to be used to solve this problem is that of thermal efficiency, that is, that coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced and the energy supplied to the machine.

From the temperature the value is given as

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

Where,

T_L = Cold focus temperature

T_H = Hot spot temperature

Our values are given as,

T_L = 20\° C = (20+273) K = 293 K

T_H = 440\° C = (440+273) K = 713 K

Replacing we have,

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1-\frac{293}{713}

\eta = 0.589

Therefore the maximum possible efficiency the car can have is 58.9%

Would time travel mean that parallel universes would be created off our linear time sequence to ensure the universe doesn't coll
MatroZZZ [7]
In theroy, yes. But time travel has yet to happen and thus, we dont know. I would assume that that if an alternate universe were NOT created, it would cause a rip in the fabic of time creating a worm hole and allowing all entitys to pass through simultaneously,and that would cause great stress on it, possibly causing it to rip large enough to encase the whole universe and it would implode.

Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work does she do? *
babunello [35]

She does 200J .

We know she uses 20N of force and 10m is the distance. We multiply both numbers and we are given our answer of 200J. Hope this was helpful. :)
