The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle. 
                        x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°) 
                                                               = 25.39 m/s
Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.

Answer:

Horizontal component of the speed is given as

v_x = 25.4 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that if a vector is inclined at some angle with the horizontal then the component of the vector along and perpendicular to horizontal is given as

A_x = Acos\theta

A_y = Asin\theta

now here we need to find the component of velocity

so we know that

v = 31 m/s

\theta = 35^0

now we will have

v_x = 31cos35

v_x = 25.4 m/s

so horizontal component of the speed will be 25.4 m/s

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?
mote1985 [20]
We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.

Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J

Thus, the answer is C.

You are a crane operator using a wrecking ball to demolish an old building. You can choose to use a 100-kg ball or a 150-kg ball
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The two balls, although of different masses, could be made to have the same demolishing force by setting the velocity of the 100 kg ball to 1.5 times the velocity of the 150 kg ball.

That is if V₁ is the velocity of the 150 kg ball and  V₂ is the velocity of the 100 kg ball then V₂  = 1.5×V₁ for the demolishing effect of the two balls to be equal.

Explanation:

To answer the we are required to explain the meaning of momentum and state its properties

Momentum is a physical property of an object in motion. It indicates the amount of motion inherent in the object.  An object in motion is said to have momentum

The types of momentum possessed by an object can be classified into either

1, Linear momentum or

2. Angular momentum

An object moving with a velocity, v has linear momentum while a spinning object has an angular momentum

The momentum is given by the formula

P = m × V

Where m = mass and

V = velocity

Newtons second law of motion states that, the force acting on an object is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum produced and acting in the direction of the force

Properties of momentum

From the above statements it means that the two balls can be made equivalent by having the appropriate amount of speed. That iis the two balls can have the same momentum thus for equal momentum effect, we have

150 kg × V₁ = 100 kg × V₂

or V₂ = 1.5×V₁

A 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m,
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

3.6 KJ

Explanation: Given that a 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m, and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy

The workdone = the energy.

There are two different energies in the scenario - the potential energy (P.E ) and the kinetic energy ( K.E )

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 × 9.8 × 1.6

P.E = 1097.6 J

P.E = 1.098 KJ

K.E = 1/2mv^2

K.E = 1/2 × 70 × 8.5^2

K.E = 2528.75 J

K.E = 2.529 KJ

The non conservative workdone = K.E + P.E

Work done = 1.098 + 2.529

Work done = 3.63 KJ

Therefore, the non conservative workdone is 3.6 KJ approximately

The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:C.The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation: Power lines are mainly overhead power installation that transfer electric energy from one place to another. Electric power lines contains both Magnetic field and Electric field.

Potential difference is the change in the amount of energy carried by an electric circuit from one point to another. TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE END OF THE TUBE AND ANOTHER? THE TUBE SHOULD BE HELD VERTICALLY,PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND.
