In punting a football, the kicker tries to maximize both the distance of the kick and its "hang time"—the time that the ball is

in the air. A kicker gets off a great punt with a hang time of 5.0 s that lands 50 yards from the kicker. What is the speed of the ball as it leaves the kicker’s foot?

Answer:

v₀ = 26.17 m/s

Explanation:

If

R = Xmax = 50 yards = (50 yards)*(0.9144 m / 1 yard) = 45.72 m

t = 5 s  (Time of Flight)

we can apply the equation:

R = V₀x*t  ⇒   V₀x = R / t = 45.72 m / 5 s   ⇒   V₀x = 9.144 m/s

then we use the equation of Time of Flight:

t = 2*V₀y / g   ⇒    V₀y = g*t / 2 = (9.81 m/s²)*(5 s) / 2  ⇒    V₀y = 24.525 m/s

Finally we apply

v₀ = √(V₀x² + V₀y²)   ⇒   v₀ = √(9.144² + 24.525²) m/s

⇒   v₀ = 26.17 m/s

Two capacitors are connected in series and the combination is charged to 120V. There's 90.0V across one capacitor, whose capacit
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.84μF

Explanation:

Charge is same through both the capacitors since they are in series. Total voltage is the sum of the voltages of the individual capacitors.. So voltage across the 2nd capacitor is 120- 90 =30 V.

Charge across first capacitor is Q = C₁V₁ = 90 x0.28 = 25.2μC

Therefore capacitance of 2nd capacitor =

C₂ = Q÷V₂ = 25.2÷30 = 0.84 μF

Steelhead trout migrate up stream to spawn.Occasionally they need to leap up small waterfalls to continue their journey. Fortuna
Ainat [17]

Part a)

since steelhead jump under the influence of gravity

So we will use kinematic equations

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

here at the maximum position we know that final speed will be zero

v_f = 0

a = -9.8 m/s^2

v_i = 8m/s

now we will have

0 - 8^2 = 2(-9.8)d

d = 3.26 m

so the maximum height that it can reach will be 3.26 m

Part B)

now if it reaches to height 1.8 m with initial speed 8 m/s

so here we will have

y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

1.8 = 8 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

4.9 t^2 - 8t + 1.8 = 0

t = 0.27 s
