Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path

The initial force of the throw overcomes gravity quite easily. Then, gravity begins to bring it back down to earth, making a curved path.

A solid sphere has a radius of 0.200 m and a mass of 150.0 kg. how much work is required to get the sphere rolling with an angul
Allisa [31]

Here in this case we can use work energy theorem

As per work energy theorem

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object

Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.

Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^2 +\frac{1}{2} mv^2

also we know that

I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2

w= \frac{v}{R}

Now kinetic energy is given by

KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)w^2 +\frac{1}{2} m(Rw)^2

KE = \frac{1}{5}mR^2w^2 +\frac{1}{2} mR^2w^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}mR^2w^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}*150*(0.200)^2(50)^2

KE = 10500 J

Now by work energy theorem

Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J

So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav
uysha [10]
In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a
Elza [17]

Answer:

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

z^2=x^2+y^2

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

z^2=150^2+14^2

z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}

z=150.74 ft

z^2=x^2+y^2

By differentiating with respect to time t

2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Here x is constant that is why

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0

z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s

\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

A hair dryer draws a current of 10 A plugged into a 120 V outlet. What is the resistance of the hair dryer?
Ganezh [65]
<span>This problem can be solved by the formula used to find resistance. The formula is R=V/I which basically means divide the Voltage by the Current to find the Resistance in an object. Ohm's law.</span>
