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

Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time (when they are not slee
user100 [1]

Answer:

I₁ = (7.78 i ^ - 6.71 j ^) 10⁻³ J s ,  I₂ = (-12.5 i ^ -14.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s ,  I₃ = (19.1i ^ + 18.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s  and I₄ = (-9.14i ^ + 7.24 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the variation of the moment, to apply this relationship to our case, we will assume that initially the mouse was at rest

    I = Δp = m v_{f} -m v₀

    I = m (v_{f}  -v₀)

Bold indicates vector quantities, let's calculate the momentum of each mouse in for the x and y axes

We recommend bringing all units to the SI system

Mouse 1.

It has a mass of 22.3 g = 22.3 10⁻³ kg, a final velocity of (v = 0.349 i ^ - 0.301 j ^) m / s with an initial velocity of zero

    Iₓ = m (v_{fx}  - v₀ₓ)

    Iₓ = 22.3 10⁻³ (0.349 -0)

    Iₓ = 7.78 10⁻³ J s

   I_{y} = m (v_{fy}  -v_{oy} )

   I_{y} = 22.3 10⁻³ (-0.301)

   I_{y} = -6.71 10⁻³ J s

   I₁ = (7.78 i ^ - 6.71 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 2

Mass 17.9 g = 17.9 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(-0.699 i ^ - 0.815 j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = m (v_{fx}  - v₀ₓ)

    Iₓ = 17.9 10⁻³ (-0.699 -0)

    Iₓ = -12.5 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 17.9 10⁻³ (-0.815 - 0)

    I_{y} = -14.6 10⁻³ J s

   I₂ = (-12.5 i ^ -14.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 3

Mass 19.1 g = 19.1 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(0.745i ^ + 0.975 j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = 19.1 10⁻³ (0.745 -0)

    Iₓ = 14.2 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 19.1 10⁻³(0.975 -0)

    I_{y} = 18.6 10⁻³ J s

    I₃ = (19.1i ^ + 18.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 4

Mass 10.1 g = 10.1 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(-0.905i ^ + 0.717j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = 10.1 10⁻³ (-0.905 -0)

    Iₓ = -9.14 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 10.1 10⁻³ (0.717 -0)

    I_{y} = 7.24 10⁻³ J s

   I₄ = (-9.14i ^ + 7.24 j ^) 10⁻³ J s
