Answer: 37.981 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the ball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component.</u> Being their main equations as follows:

<u>x-component: </u>

x=V_{o}cos\theta t   (1)

Where:

x=52 m is the point where the ball strikes ground horizontally

V_{o} is the ball's initial speed

\theta=0 because we are told the ball is thrown horizontally

t is the time since the ball is thrown until it hits the ground

<u>y-component: </u>

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (2)

Where:

y_{o}=120m  is the initial height of the ball

y=0  is the final height of the ball (when it finally hits the ground)

g=-9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's start by finding t from (2):

<u></u>

0=y_{o}+V_{o}sin(0\°) t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (3)

0=y_{o}+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}  

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 y_{o}}{g}}   (4)

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2 (120 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}   (5)

t=4.948 s   (6)

Then, we have to substitute (6) in (1):

x=V_{o}cos(0\°) t   (7)

And find V_{o}:

V_{o}=\frac{x}{t}   (8)

V_{o}=\frac{52 m}{4.948 s}   (9)

V_{o}=10.509 m/s   (10)

On the other hand, since we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity) we can use the following equation to find the value of the ball's final velocity V:

V=V_{o} + gt (11)

V=10.509 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^{2})(4.948 s) (12)

V=-37.981 m/s (13) This is the ball's final velocity, and the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards.

However, we were asked to find the <u>ball's final speed</u>, which is the module of the ball's final vleocity vector. This module is always positive, hence the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground is 37.981 m/s (positive).

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere by a two-step reaction:
Sladkaya [172]
Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
 Cl + O3 = ClO + O2 
 step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2 
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer

A block of mass 4 kilograms is initially moving at 5m/s on a horizontal surface. There is friction between the block and the sur
emmasim [6.3K]

• Net vertical force on the block:

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

(<em>n</em> = magnitude of normal force, <em>w</em> = weight)

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em>

(<em>m</em> = mass, <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = (4 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N

• Net horizontal force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> = <em>m a</em>

(<em>f</em> = mag. of friction, <em>a</em> = acceleration)

We have <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (39.2 N) = 19.6 N, so

-19.6 N = (4 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4.9 m/s²

With this acceleration, the block comes to a rest from an initial speed of 5 m/s, so that it travels a distance ∆<em>x</em> in this time such that

0² - (5 m/s)² = 2 (-4.9 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (25 m²/s²) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.55 m ≈ 2.6 m

A clock moves past you at a speed of 0.9 c. How much time passes for you for each second that elapses on the moving clock?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time dilation formula is

T = T₀ / √ 1-v²/c²

T₀ is time elapsed in moving reference , T time elapsed in stationary reference.

Here T₀ = 1 second

T = 1/√ 1-0.9² = 1/.4358 = 2.3 second

So 2.3 second will pass for each second on moving reference.
