Answer:

The maximum range $R_{max}= 132. 72$ m

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 30 m/s

The height of the cliff, h = 50 m

Let the car drives off the cliff with a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s.

The formula for a projectile that is projected from a height h from the ground is given by the relation

$R_{max}= \frac{u}{g}\sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh }$ m

Where,

g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

$R_{max}= \frac{30}{9.8}\sqrt{30^{2} + 2X9.8X50 }$

= 132.72 m

Hence, the car lands at a distance, $R_{max}= 132. 72$ m

Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

$m = m_{1}=m_{2}$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Along X- axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i$

$v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s$

Along Y-axis

$0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{1}=-v_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s$

Then the final speed of the first ball

$v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}$

$v_{1}=1.95\ m/s$

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=-44.16^{\circ}$

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

A ball rolls horizontally off a table and a height of 1.4 m with a speed of 4 m/s. How long does it take the ball to reach the g

Hitman42 [59]

For vertical motion, use the following kinematics equation:

H(t) = X + Vt + 0.5At²

H(t) is the height of the ball at any point in time t for t ≥ 0s

X is the initial height

V is the initial vertical velocity

A is the constant vertical acceleration

Given values:

X = 1.4m

V = 0m/s (starting from free fall)

A = -9.81m/s² (downward acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface)

Plug in these values to get H(t):

H(t) = 1.4 + 0t - 4.905t²

H(t) = 1.4 - 4.905t²

We want to calculate when the ball hits the ground, i.e. find a time t when H(t) = 0m, so let us substitute H(t) = 0 into the equation and solve for t:

1.4 - 4.905t² = 0

4.905t² = 1.4

t² = 0.2854

t = ±0.5342s

Reject t = -0.5342s because this doesn't make sense within the context of the problem (we only let t ≥ 0s for the ball's motion H(t))

t = 0.53s

The equation for electrical power isP=VIwhere V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6(a). 6(b) can be solved with Ohm's LawV=IRor if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for IP=V2R For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same. We can find the resistance of each lamp fromP=V2RThen the equivalent resistance as1R∗=1R1+1R2Then the total power asPt=V2R∗However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra)Pt=P1+P2 For 8, again the resistance can be found asP=V2RThe energy usage is simplyE=P⋅t
