during a dodge ball game a student throw a ball at another player what forces act on the ball as it flie through the air

1 answer:

5 0

Gravity acts to accelerate the ball downward, and air resistance acts in a way to slow the ball along it's instantaneous velocity (no matter which way it's moving air applies a force in the opposite direction)

A projectile is launched on earth at an angle θ, relative to horizontal direction. At half of its maximum height the speed of th

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

the angle is about 67.79 degrees

Explanation:

We know that at its maximum height, the vertical component of the projectile's launching (initial) velocity (Vyi) is zero, so at that point it total velocity equals the horizontal component of the initial velocity (Vxi = 0.5 m/s)

We also know that the maximum height of the projectile is given by the square of its initial vertical component of the velocity (Vyi) divided by 2g, therefore half of such distance is :

$half\,\,max-height = \frac{v_{yi}^2}{4\,g}$

we can use this information to find the y component of the velocity at that height via the formula:

$v_{yf}^2-v_{yi}^2=-2\,g\,\Delta y\\\\v_{yf}^2-v_{yi}^2=-2\,g\,(\frac{v_{yi}^2}{4\,g} )\\v_{yf}^2=v_{yi}^2-\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} \\v_{yf}^2=\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2}$

Now we use the information that tells us the speed of the projectile at this height to be 1 m/s. That should be the result of the vector addition of the vertical and horizontal components:

$1=\sqrt{v_{yf}^2+0.5^2} \\1=\sqrt{\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} +0.5^2}\\1^2=\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} +0.5^2}\\1-0.5^2=\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} \\2(1-0.5^2)=v_{yi}^2\\1.5 = v_{yi}^2\\v_{yi}=\sqrt{1.5} \\$

Now we can use the arc-tangent to calculate the launching angle, since we know the two initial component of the velocity vector:

$tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{yi}}{v_{xi}} =\frac{\sqrt{1.5} }{0.5} \\\theta= arctan(\frac{\sqrt{1.5} }{0.5})=67.79^o$

The tip of a triangle is held 12.0 cm above the surface of a flat pool of water. A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: 9cm

Explanation:

Refractive index can also be defined as the ratio of the real depth to the apparent depth.

Given that the

Real depth = 12 m

Refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive index of air = 1.00

nair/nwater = real depth/apparent depth

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1.33/1 = 12/ apparent depth

Cross multiply

1.33 Apparent depth = 12

Apparent depth = 12/1.33

Apparent depth = 9.02 cm

Therefore, A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of the triangle at 9cm approximately distance above the water.

What is an electric circuit?

klemol [59]

<h3>Answer: any path that allows electrons to flow</h3>

An electrical circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. ... The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load".
