Answer:

The distance will be x = 41.7 [m]

Explanation:

We must first find the components in the x & y axes of the initial velocity.

(v_{o})_{x} = 15*cos(20)= 14.09[m/s]\\(v_{o})_{y} = 15*sin(20)= 5.13[m/s]

The acceleration is the gravity acceleration therefore.

g = 9.81 [m/s^2]

Now we can calculate how long it takes to fall.

y=(v_{o})_{y}*t-0.5*g*t^2\\-28 = 5.13*t-0.5*9.81*t^2\\-28=-4.905*t^2+5.13*t\\4.905*t^2-5.13*t=28\\t = 2.96[s]

With this time we can find the horizontal distance that runs the projectile.

x=(v_{o})_{x}*t\\x=14.09*2.96\\x=41.7[m]

atroni [7]

Point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

On the graph, A is the point where magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is greatest as compared to other positions on the graph because the height of point A is the largest as compared to other points of the graph.

The graph shows at which point acceleration of an object is higher and lower so we can conclude that point A has the largest magnitude of acceleration as compared to other points on the position verses time graph.

A 500 kg dragster accelerates from rest to a final speed of 100 m/s in 400 m (about a quarter of a mile) and encounters an avera
Fantom [35]
In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed v_f = 100 m/s, its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
W= K_f - K_i = K_f =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J

however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
W_f = F_f d = -(1200 N)(400 m)= -4.8 \cdot 10^5 J
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.

This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is -W_f:
W_t = W + (-W_f)=2.5 \cdot 10^6 J+4.8 \cdot 10^5 J=2.98 \cdot 10^6 J

So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{2.98 \cdot 10^6 J}{7.30 s}=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W

And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as
P=4.08 \cdot 10^6 W \cdot  \frac{1 hp}{746 W} =547 hp

An object is traveling with a constant velocity of 5 m/s. How far will it have gone after 7 s?
kozerog [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

35 meters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Data given;</u>

  • Velocity of an object = 5 m/s
  • Time taken = 7 s

We are required to calculate how far the object traveled.

  • We need to know that;

Velocity = Displacement ÷ time

  • Therefore;

Displacement = Velocity × time

                       = 5 m/s × 7 s

                      = 35 m

Therefore; the object traveled 35 meters
