Answer:

t=0.47s

Explanation:

the ball has uniformly accelerated movement due to gravity

Vo=initial speed=4.6m/s

g=gravity=-9.8m/s^2

Vf=final speed=0, the player must wait for the ball to stop. so the final speed will be 0

we can use the following ecuation

T=(Vf-Vo)/g

T=(0-4.6)/-9.8m/s^2

T=0.47s

If a true heading of 135° results in a ground track of 130° and a true airspeed of 135 knots results in a groundspeed of 140 kno
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

245.1° and 13 knots

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The true heading = 135°

The resultant ground track = 130°

The true airspeed = 135 knots

The ground speed = 140 knots

Given that the true airspeed the ground speed and the wind direction and magnitude form a triangle, we have;

From cosine rule, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2×b×c×cos(A)

Where

a = The magnitude of the wind speed in knot

b = The true airspeed = 135 knots

c = The ground speed = 140 knots

A = The angle in between the true heading and the resultant ground track heading = 5°

Which gives;

a² = 135² + 140² - 2×135×140×cos(5 degrees) = 168.84 knots²

a = √168.84 = 12.9934 ≈ 13 knots

We have;

135 × sin(135 degrees) - 140× sin(130 degrees) = -11.7868

135 × cos(135 degrees) - 140× cos(130 degrees) = -5.469

Tan(θ) = -11.8/-5.5 = 2.155

θ = tan⁻¹(2.155) = 65.108°

Given that the wind is moving in opposite direction (slowing down the airplane, we add 180°, to get

Therefore, the angle direction = 180 + 65.108 = 245.1

Therefore, we have;

245.1° and 13 knots

A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is
avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

P=IV

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

E=Pt=VIt

Where

It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s

So the energy delivered is

E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h
