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

If an object has a mass of 4 kg and an acceleration of 8 m/s2, what is the force this object exerts?
Slav-nsk [51]

The force acting on the object will be 32 N.

Newton's second law of motion states that, "the force is equal to the change in momentum per change in the time". The mathematical form of the law is given below.

F = \frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=m\frac{dv}{dt}=ma

Where P = momentum, t = time, m =mass, v = velocity, a = acceleration and F = force.

The mass of the object is 4 kg and acceleration is 8 m/s^2. Substitute the values in the equation and we will get the force.

F = ma

F = 4 kg * 8 m/s^2

F = 32 kg.m/s^2

F = 32 N

If you calculate the thermal power radiated by typical objects at room temperature, you will find surprisingly large values, sev
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

best explanation of this is sentence B

Explanation:

The radiation emission of the bodies is given by the expression

     P = σ A e T⁴

Where P is the power emitted in watts, σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, A is the surface area of ​​the body, e is the emissivity for black body e = 1 and T is the absolute body temperature in degrees Kelvin.

When the values ​​are substituted the power is quite high 2.5 KW, but the medium surrounding the box also emits radiation

   T box ≈ T room

    P box ≈ P room

As the two powers are similar and the box can absorbed, since it has the ability to emit and absorb radiation, as the medium is also close of the temperature of the box, the amount emitted is very similar to that absorbed, so the net change in energy is very small.

   In the case that the box is much hotter or colder than the surrounding medium if there is a significant net transfer.

Consequently, the best explanation of this is sentence B

A hydraulic lift is made by sealing an ideal fluid inside a container with an input piston of cross-sectional area 0.004 m2 , an
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Maximum weight that can be lifted = 18,000 N

Explanation:

Given:

Cross-sectional area of input (A1) = 0.004 m²

Cross-sectional area of the output (A2) = 1.2 m ²

Force (F) = 60 N

Computation:

Pressure on input piston (P1) = F / A1

Assume,

Maximum weight lifted by piston = W

Pressure on output piston (P2) = W / A2

We, know that

P1 = P2

[F / A1]  = [W / A2]

[60 / 0.004] = [W / 1.2]

150,00 = W / 1.2

Weight = 18,000 N

Maximum weight that can be lifted = 18,000 N

Define Ordinary Thermometer​
deff fn [24]

Answer:

An ordinary thermometer is commonly referred to as a dry-bulb thermometer. Most people use this thermometer to measure other types of temperature, such as humidity levels or the outside temperature. This thermometer can show higher temperatures because it is built to withstand different temperature ranges.

A 2300 kg sailboat is moving west at 5.5 m/s when an eastward wind
pogonyaev

The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration <em>a</em> of

950 N = (2300 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (950 N) / (2300 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 0.413 m/s²

Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of

<em>v</em> = -5.5 m/s + <em>a</em> (11.5 s)

<em>v</em> = -0.75 m/s

which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.
