it would be appropriate to round a number when you are talking about people or animals. Ex. it fits 10 1/2 people. it will most likely fit 9-11 people.

You it is not appropriate to round with money.

Ex. If you owe someone $9.43 you don't just give them $9

Assuming the ball's initial velocity was 51 ∘ above the horizontal and ignoring air resistance, what did the initial speed of th
Umnica [9.8K]

horizontal distance of home run is 400 ft = 122 m

height of the home run is 3 ft = 0.9 m

now the angle of the hit is 51 degree

now we have equation of trajectory of the motion

x = vcos\theta * t

y = v sin\theta * t - \frac{1}{2} gt^2

solving above two equations we have

y = xtan\theta - \frac{gx^2}{2v^2cos^2\theta}

now here we will plug in all data

0.9 = 122 tan51 - \frac{9.8 * 122^2}{2*v^2 * cos^251}

0.9 = 150.65 - \frac{184150.2}{v^2}

\frac{184150.2}{v^2} = 149.75

v = 35.1 m/s

<em>so the ball was hit with speed 35.1 m/s from the ground</em>

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 25.8 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t
zhannawk [14.2K]

The final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

So in this problem, the initial speed of the train is at 25.8 m/s before it comes to incline with constant slope. So the acceleration or the rate of change in velocity while moving on the incline is given as 1.66 m/s². So the final velocity need to be found after a time period of 8.3 s. According to the first equation of motion, v = u +at.

So we know the values for parameters u,a and t. Since, the train slows down on the slope, so the acceleration value will have negative sign with the magnitude of acceleration. Then

v = 25.8 + (-1.66×8.3)

v =12.022 m/s.

So the final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho
amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

How does the force of gravity exerted
givi [52]

The two forces of gravity are equal

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In this problem, we can identify the Sun as object A and the Earth as object B. This means that the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on the Earth is the action, while the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the Sun is the reaction: according to Newton's third law, these two forces are equal and opposite.

Therefore, the two forces of gravity are equal in magnitude, which is given by:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the Earth

r is the separation between the Earth and the Sun
