Answer:
pumpkin
Explanation:
watermelon and pumpkins are close to shape and size
Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².
Let
x = angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity
The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x) s
With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0
Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°
The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s
If t = 5.8096 s,
u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)
Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s
The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m
Answer: h = 110.4 m
The
sun is a ball of hot gases containing different kinds of elements at different
cores. It has a very high temperature that radiates all throughout the Milky
Way galaxy. The sun has three main parts; photosphere, chromospheres
and corona. The outer core of a star located at the chromospheres contains
mostly of hydrogen. Inside the hydrogen is helium then carbon, oxygen, neon,
magnesium silicon and the inert gas. The photosphere is scattered by the loose electrons in the corona’s plasma.
