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.

Sophie throws a tennis ball down from a height of 1.5 m at an angle of 450 with respect to vertical. She drops another tennis ba
Katena32 [7]

Given that,

Height =1.5 m

Angle = 45°

We need to find the greater speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

P.E_{i}+K.E_{f}=P.E_{f}+K.E_{f}

mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2

Here, initial velocity and final potential energy is zero.

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.5=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{f}^2

v_{f}^2=2\times9.8\times1.5

v_{f}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.5}

v_{f}=5.42\ m/s

Hence, the greater speed of the ball is 5.42 m/s.

The advantages and disadvantages of using copper, steel and aluminium in electrical cables.
katrin [286]
Advantages of copper cables are that copper is an extremely powerful conductor of electricity and much more stable over time. It can withstand higher temperatures than aluminum and is more resistant to damage. Disadvantages: Copper is more expensive and heavier and thus requires structural support. Advantages of aluminum cables are that it is less expensive, easier to work with and light weight and so does not need structural support when strung over long distance. Disadvantages: Aluminum is more susceptible to corrosion and requires periodic replacement. It needs much greater maintenance. Advantages of steel cables are that steel does not rust, is fairly cheap and readily available. It has a higher tensile strength too. Disadvantages: Steel cables are less ductile and are therefore more susceptible to fatigue.

If Vx= 9.5 units and Vy= -6.4 units, determine the magnitude of V
valkas [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity is approximately 11.45 units

Explanation:

Since they give us the x and y components of the vector velocity, we can find its magnitude via the Pythagorean theorem:

|v|=\sqrt{9.5^2+(-6.4)^2} \approx 11.45
