A soccer player kicks a ball with a speed of 30 m/s at an angle of 10. How long does the ball stay in the air?

1 answer:

4 0

"10" is not a very satisfying description of an angle.
I'll assume it's 10 degrees, and that it's the angle of the initial trajectory
above the horizontal.

The vertical component of the ball's speed is 30 sin(10°) = 5.209 meters per second.

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second² downward.

The ball continues to rise for 9.8/5.209 = 1.881 seconds after the kick.
At that time, it reaches the peak of its arc, and if nobody else has contacted it yet,
it begins to fall, and takes the same length of time to return to the ground whence
it was kicked.

So the time between the kick and return to the ground is (2 x 1.881) = <u>3.763 seconds</u>.

Note: As is customary and necessary at the high school level,
we assume no air resistance.

Which statement describes the process of subduction? Convection currents pull a plate into the mantle. One plate slides beneath

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Subduction is the geological process in which one plate moves under another due to gravitational pull. The regions where this process occurs called subduction zones.

A subduction is a tectonic plate which is made up of crust and upper layer of mantle. These two layers are called as lithosphere.

Example: South America, central America and cascade volcanoes. In which the oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo

attashe74 [19]

Absolutely ! If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other. Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war.
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
