Considering that the grasshopper starts on the ground and lands on the ground, there is no change in elevation. The range of the grasshopper is given by: <span>R=<span><span><span>v2</span>sin2θ</span>g</span></span> If we now take the information that this is a maximal distance, the maximum range is given when the angle of launch is 45 degrees. This yields the equation: <span><span>R<span>max</span></span>=<span><span>v2</span>g</span></span> We know R_max=0.4 m and g=9.8 m/s^2, so we can solve for v: <span>v=1.98m/s</span> We are asked for the horizontal component, which by trigonometry is: <span><span>vx</span>=vcosθ</span> We again take our angle of launch as 45 degrees and arrive at: <span><span><span>vx</span>=1.40m/s</span></span>

A girl is whirling a ball on a string around her head in a horizontal plane. She wants to let go at precisely the right time so
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

<u>The girl should leave the string a time when the ball is at a position tangent at that point of the circle passes through the location of target.</u>

Explanation:

The direction of an object moving in circular path changes endlessly with time. The direction of the object at some extent are within the direction of tangential drawn to the circle at that point,  

The  centripetal force on the ball becomes zero once the girl leaves the string. hence, the ball can go into the direction tangential to the circle at the point whenever she left the string.

The wavelength of light visible to the human eye is on the order of 5 x 10-7 m. if the speed of light in air is 3 x 108 m/s, fin
juin [17]

The frequency of light wave is 0.6*10^15 Hz.

The relation between the speed of light, frequency, and wavelength is given as

c=λν

Plugging the values in the above equation

3*10^8=5*10^(-7)*ν

ν=0.6*10^15 Hz.

Therefore the frequency of the light wave is 0.6*10^15 Hz.

In the aftermath of an intense earthquake, the earth as a whole "rings" with a period of 54 minutes.
lawyer [7]

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz

In the photo, a locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station. During the collision, what can be said about the forc
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Whether the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was larger

Than the force the locomotive could exert on the wall.

Explanation:

The Newton's third law of motion States that every force have it's equal and opposite reaction force, whose magnitude is the same as the applied force. Therefore the magnitude of these opposite forces will be equal.

So we have;

F12=-F21

F12 is the force in a direction

-F21 is the force in the opposite direction.

Therefore we see that the magnitude of the force the locomotive exerts on the wall is equal to the one the wall exerts on the locomotive. Both magnitudes are equal but in opposite directions.
