Answer:

a. The runner must run 15.35 m in the direction of the ball. b. 7.52 m/s

Explanation:

This is an example of projectile motion. We first calculate the range of the football to know where it is going to land.

Given,

initial speed of football,u = 20 m/s

Angle of projection, θ = 30°

a. We calculate the range R = u²sin2θ/g = 20²sin(2 × 30)/9.8 = 400sin60/9.8 = 400 × 0.8660/9.8 = 346.41/9.8 = 35.348 m ≅ 35.35 m

Since the receiver starts 20 m from the quarterback, the distance he runs in order to catch the ball is d = (35.35 - 20) m = 15.35 m.

So the runner must run 15.35 m in the direction of the ball.

b. The time it takes him to run the distance d = 15.35 m and catch the ball is the time it takes the projectile to land at the height he catches the ball which is given by t = 2usinθ/g = (2 × 20 × sin30)/9.8 = (40 × 0.5)/9.8 = 20/9.8 = 2.041 s ≅ 2.04 s

To find the constant speed at which the receiver must run in order to catch the ball at the same level of throw, we use s = vt + 1/2at²

since a = 0 (constant speed), s = vt ⇒ v = s/t

s = d = 15.35 m and t = 2.041 s

v = 15.35 m/2.041 s = 7.521 m/s ≅ 7.52 m/s

Answer:

a) In order to catch the ball at the level at which it is thrown in the direction of motion.

b)Speed of the receiver will be 7.52m/s

Explanation:

Calculating range,R= Vo^2Sin2theta/g

R= (20^2×Sin(2×30)/9.8 = 35.35m

Let receiver be(R-20) = 35.35-20= 15.35m

The horizontal component of the ball is:

Vox= Vocostheta= 20× cos30°

Vox= 17.32m/s

Time taken to coverR=35.35m with 17.32m/s will be:

t=R/Vox= 35.35/17.32

t= 2.04seconds

b)Speed required to cover 15.35m at 2.04seconds

Vxreciever= d/t = 15.35/2.04 = 7.52m/s

A stationary boat bobs up and down with a period of 2.4 s when it encounters the waves from a moving boat.
lapo4ka [179]
It seems like the question is asking for the frequency.
Given: 
Time period (T) = 2.4 sec

Frequency (f) =? 

We know that the formula for frequency is:

Frequency (f) = 1/time period (T) 

= 1 / 2.4 s 

= 0.42 Hz. is the frequency for this problem.

Consider a steel guitar string of initial length L=1.00 meter and cross-sectional area A=0.500 square millimeters. The Young's m
Reil [10]

Answer:

\Delta l=0.015m

Explanation:

We have given initial length of the steel guitar l = 1 m

Cross sectional area A=0.5mm^2=0.5\times 10^{-6}m^2

Young's modulus \gamma=2\times 10^{11}Pa

Force F = 1500 N

So stress =\frac{force}{area}=\frac{1500}{0.5\times 10^{-6}}=3000\times 10^{-6}=3\times 10^{9}Pa

We know that young's modulus =\frac{stress}{strain}

So 2\times 10^{11}=\frac{3\times 10^{9}}{strain}

strain=1.5\times 10^{-2}=0.015m

Now strain =\frac{\Delta l}{l}

0.015=\frac{\Delta l}{1}

\Delta l=0.015m

5. What is the density of 4.5 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 1.3 grams?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. 0.289g/mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for density which is d = m/v  or density = mass/volume, we input 1.3g/4.5mL and get 0.289g/mL.

According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about
NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

A heat engine does 200 j of work per cycle while exhausting 600 j of heat to the cold reservoir. what is the engine's thermal ef
AveGali [126]
The thermal efficiency of an engine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}
where
W is the work done by the engine
Q is the heat absorbed by the engine to do the work

In this problem, the work done by the engine is W=200 J, while the heat exhausted is Q=600 J, so the efficiency of the machine is
\eta= \frac{W}{Q}= \frac{200 J}{600 J}=0.33 = 33 \%
