Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.
