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 ball is tied to a 1.3 m string and whirled in a circular motion with a force of 220 N. If its speed is 6 m/s, (a) what is it c
Studentka2010 [4]

The centripetal acceleration is 27.692 kg m / s^2.

The mass of the ball is 7.94 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The curved path of an object experience a force known as centripetal force. Its direction is always pointing to the motion of the body towards the center of curvature of the path.

            centripetal force Fc = (mass * square of velocity) / radius

where m represents mass in kg

          v represents  velocity

          r represents radius in a meter.

  • The acceleration experienced in uniform circular motion is called as centripetal acceleration.It always points toward the center of rotation and is perpendicular to the linear velocity.
  •                     centripetal acceleration = v^2 / r

                                                             = (6 * 6) / 1.3

                                                             = 27.692 kg m / s^2.

 The mass of the ball is found by using the centripetal force formula,

  •                               centripetal force Fc = m v^2 / r

                                                      m = (F * r) / v^2

                                                          =  (220 * 1.3) / 36

                           mass of the ball  m = 7.94 kg.

Which statement best describes how scientists and engineers work together
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Option D: Engineers come up with scientific questions when they are

developing their design, and scientists do research to answer

them.

Explanation:

Normally, scientists work involves study of how nature works while engineers work is to create new things, such as websites, products e.t.c. Now, the objectives of engineers and scientists are different because they follow different processes while working to achieve their results. Scientists perform experiments using the scientific method which involves processes such as constructing hypothesis and testing with an experiment while, engineers usually follow the creativity based design engineering processes which involves developing of prototype solutions and testing those solutions.

Thus, it's clear that engineers deal with design while scientists deal with research.

The correct answer will be option D

How are Classical and positivist theories similar and different?
ELEN [110]

Answer: PLease see Explanation

Explanation:The key idea behind this theory was to use scientific methods to understand criminality and crime. ... The major difference between the two theories are that classical school is mainly based on free will and suggests that crime as a choice, whereas positivism criminology argues that crime is not a choice.

Determine the gravitational force of attraction experienced by a two 5.00 kilogram masses separated by a distance of 2.5 meters.
drek231 [11]
The gravitational force between two objects may be calculated through the equation,
                                     F = Gm₁m₂ / d²
where G is 6.67 x 10^-11 m³/s²kg
Substituting the known values to the equation,
                        F = (6.67 x 10^-11 m³/s²kg)(5.0 kg)(5.0 kg) / (2.5 m)²
                                     F = 2.668 x 10^-10 N
