A rock is thrown from the top of a 20-m building at an angle of 53° above the horizontal. If the horizontal range of the throw

is equal to the height of the building, with what speed was the rock thrown? What is the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground?

Answer:

28.5 m/s

18.22 m/s

Explanation:

h = 20 m, R = 20 m, theta = 53 degree

Let the speed of throwing is u and the speed with which it strikes the ground is v.

Horizontal distance, R = horizontal velocity x time

Let t be the time taken

20 = u Cos 53 x t

u t = 20/0.6 = 33.33 ..... (1)

Now use second equation of motion in vertical direction

h = u Sin 53 t - 1/2 g t^2

20 = 33.33 x 0.8 - 4.9 t^2     (ut = 33.33 from equation 1)

t = 1.17 s

Put in equation (1)

u = 33.33 / 1.17 = 28.5 m/s

Let v be the velocity just before striking the ground

vx = u Cos 53 = 28.5 x 0.6 = 17.15 m/s

vy = uSin 53 - 9.8 x 1.17

vy = 28.5 x 0.8 - 16.66

vy = 6.14 m/s

v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 = 17.15^2 + 6.14^2

v = 18.22 m/s

Art [367]
The answer is :  We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.  This is    because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot.  Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

Determine the thrust produced if 1.5 x 10^3 kg of gas exits the combustion chamber each second, with a speed of 4.00 x 10^3 m/s.
ozzi

Answer:

The thrust is 6\times 10^6\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of gas, m=1.5\times 10^3\ kg

The rate at which the gas is expelling, \dfrac{dv}{dt}=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s

We need to find the thrust produced by the gas.

We know that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. So,

F=\dfrac{p}{t}

Also, p = mv

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

So,

F=1.5\times 10^3\times 4\times 10^3\\\\F=6\times 10^6\ N

So, the thrust is 6\times 10^6\ N

Bingel [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

According to the second Newton's Law,

<em>✔ We have : F = m x a ⇔ m = F/a </em>

  • m = 3000/15
  • m = 200 kg

The mass of the object is therefore 200 kg.
