Answer:

The horizontal distance traveled when the stone returns to its original height = 220.81 m

Explanation:

Considering vertical motion of catapult:-

At maximum height,

Initial velocity, u = 50 sin30 = 25 m/s

Acceleration , a = -9.81 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Substituting

v = u + at

0 = 25 - 9.81 x t

t = 2.55 s

Time of flight = 2 x Time to reach maximum height = 2 x 2.55 = 3.1 s

Considering horizontal motion of catapult:-

Initial velocity, u = 50 cos30 = 43.30 m/s

Acceleration , a = 0 m/s²

Time, t = 5.10 s

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

s= ut + 0.5 at²

s = 43.30 x 5.10 + 0.5 x 0 x 5.10²

s = 220.81 m

The horizontal distance traveled when the stone returns to its original height = 220.81 m

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

$v_1=\sqrt{2gh}$

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

$J=m(v_2-v_1)$

$J=2m\sqrt{2gh}$

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?

kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that total distance that man moved is

$d_1 = 200 km$

$d_2 = 100 km$

so total distance is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 200 km + 100 km$

$d = 300 km$

now here total time of the motion is

$t_1 = 6 hours$

$t_2 = 4 hours$

total time will be given as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

$t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours$

now by above formula

$v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 30 km/h$

so his average speed is 30 km/h

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn

77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}$

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

$m=\dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}$

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.
