Answer:

Vi = 8.28 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to the projectile motion.

As we know there are two components of motion associated with this, the horizontal component and vertical component.

The horizontal distance covered by the ball is

Vx*t = x

Vx*t = 5.3

Vx = 5.3/t  eq. 1

Also we know that

Vx = Vicos(60)

Vx = Vi*0.5  eq. 2

equate eq. 1 and eq. 2

5.3/t = Vi*0.5

5.3/0.5 = Vi*t

Vi*t = 10.6  eq. 3

The vertical distance is

Vy = y1 + Vyi*t - 0.5gt²

also we know that

Vyi = Visin(60)

Vyi = Vi*0.866

It is given that V1 = 1.9 m and and Vy = 3 m is the vertical distance

3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5gt²

3 = 1.9 + Vi*0.866*t - 0.5(9.8)t²

3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²

3 = 1.9 + 0.866(Vi*t) - 0.5(9.8)t²

1.1 = 0.866(Vi*t) - 4.9t²

0.866(Vi*t) = 4.9t² + 1.1

substitute Vi*t = 10.6 in above equation

0.866(10.6) = 4.9t² + 1.1

9.18 = 4.9t² + 1.1

4.9t² = 8.08

t² = 8.08/4.9

t² = 1.648

t = 1.28 sec

Finally, initial speed can be found by substituting the value of t into eq. 3

Vi*t = 10.6

Vi = 10.6/t

Vi = 10.6/1.28

Vi = 8.28 m/s

Fluid pressure changes with depth are assumed to be linear. Which statement best explains why this does not hold true for atmosp
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure due to fluid is directly proportional to the depth of fluid, density of the fluid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

P = h d g

Where, h is the depth, d be the density and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

If we talk about teh atmospheric pressure, the density of air goes on decreasing as we go up and up. o we cannot say that it is directly depends only on the depth of air, it also depends on the changing density of air.

3. What are the challenges of looking for Dyson spheres?
S_A_V [24]

1. it is difficult to search for it . Because infrared rays will never penetrate through earth atmosphere.

2. we are unaware of how it looks like and we only know it is red and will glow . A damaged star also looks like this.

3. Dust also makes is hard to detect Dyson spheres . So we will get confused between Dyson sphere and a star surrounded by dust.

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density
Serjik [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine (\sf \eta)

Explanation:

\boxed{ \bold{v =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho -  \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho -  \sigma)g )}{v}

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2}  \times  (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times  \frac{145.6191}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times 64.7196

\sf \implies \eta =  2 \times 7.191

\sf \implies \eta =  14.382 \: poise

How does jet stream form
barxatty [35]
Even though the wind "tries" to flow from high pressure to low pressure, the turning of the Earth causes the air flow to turn to the right (in the Northern Hemisphere), so the jet stream flows around the air masses, rather than directly from one to the other.
