Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

$u_y = u sin \theta$

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

$\theta=33.5^{\circ}$ is the angle

Substituting,

$u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s$

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

$y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

$g = -9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

$0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2$

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

$u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s$

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

$d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m$

Vivian went on a bicycle trip through Germany with her family. One afternoon, she rode her bicycle along a long flat road at a c

natima [27]

d = distance traveled by her on her bicycle on a long flat road = 24 kilometer

t = time taken by her to travel distance "d" on her bicycle on a long flat road = 1.2 hours

v = average speed of vivian = ?

we know that average speed is given as

v = d/t

inserting the values in the above formula

v = 24 kilometer / 1.2 hour

v = 20 kilometer/hour

hence the correct choice is

C) 20 km/h

Describe the Compton Effect

Nana76 [90]

<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>

physics A river flows at a speed vr = 5.37 km/hr with respect to the shoreline. A boat needs to go perpendicular to the shorelin

vova2212 [387]

Answer: Vb is the vector (-5.37m/s, 8.59 m/s), with a module 10.13m/s

then the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9

Explanation:

We can use the notation (x, y) where the river flows in the x-axis and the pier is on the y-axis.

We have Vr = (5.37m/s, 0m/s)

Now, if the boat wants to move only along the y-axis (perpendicularly to the shore).

The velocity of the boat Vb will be:

Vb = (-c*sin(32). c*cos(32))

Then we should have that:

5.37 m/s - c*sin(32) = 0

c = (5.37/sin(32))m/s = 10.13 m/s

the velocity in the y-axis is:

10.13m/s*cos(32) = 8.59 m/s

So Vb = (-5.37m/s, 8.59 m/s)

the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9 where i used Vb as the module of the boat's velocity.
