Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the following question. A ping-pong ball is shot straight north from a popgun at 4.0 m/s.

The wind is blowing to the west at 3.0 m/s. What is the actual velocity of the ping-pong ball?

Answer : The actual velocity of the ping-pong ball is, 5 m/s

Explanation :

Using Pythagorean theorem :

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2

The diagram is shown below.

From the diagram we conclude that,

AB = 4 m/s

BC = 3 m/s

AC = ?

(AC)^2=(BC)^2+(AB)^2

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

(AC)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2

AC=5m/s

Therefore, the actual velocity of the ping-pong ball is, 5 m/s

A 75-m-long train begins uniform acceleration from rest. the the train has a speed of 23 m/s when it passes a railway worker tan
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

acceleration a = 1.04 m/s2

Explanation:

Assume the train has a speed of 23m/s when the last car passes the railway workers. Once this happens the last car would have traveled a total distance of the 180m distance between the railway worker standing 180 m from where the front of the train started plus the 75m distance from the first car to the last car:

s = 75 + 180 = 255 m

We can use the following equation of motion to find out the distance traveled by the car:

v^2 - v_0^2 = 2aswhere v = 23 m/s is the velocity of the car when it passes the worker, v_0 = 0m/s is the initial velocity of the car when it starts, a m/s2 is the acceleration, which we are looking for.

23^2 - 0^2 = 2*a*255

510a = 529

a = 529 / 510 = 1.04 m/s^2

How long will it take a ball to roll 10 meters along the floor at a speed of 0.5 m/s?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

20 seconds.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

The speed of an object is simply defined as the distance travelled by the object per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can obtain the time taken for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m as shown below:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

Speed = Distance /time

0.5 = 10/time

Cross multiply

0.5 × time = 10

Divide both side by 0.5

Time = 10/0.5

Time = 20 secs.

Therefore, it will take 20 seconds for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m.

A source charge generates an electric field of 4286 N/C at a distance of 2. 5 m. What is the magnitude of the source charge? (Us
svp [43]

The magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC which generates 4286 N/C of the electric field. Option B is correct.

What does Gauss Law state?

It states that the electric flux across any closed surface is directly proportional to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.

Q = \dfrac {ER^2}k

Where,

E = electric force = 4286 N/C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99 \times  10^9 \rm\ N m ^2 /C ^2

Q\\&#10;     = charges = ?

r = distance of separation = 2.5 m

Put the values in the formula,

Q  = \dfrac {4286\times  2.5 ^2}{8.99 \times  10^9 }\\\\&#10;Q  = 3\rm \  \mu C

Therefore, the magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC.

A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kilograms, and a bowling ball has a mass of 6.8 kilograms. What is the gravitational force betwee
larisa [96]
We can use the equation for Newton's Law of Gravitation
Fg = (Gm₁m₂)/r²
Where gravitational constant = G = 6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ N · m²/kg²
mass m₁ = 0.145 kg
mass m₂ = 6.8 kg
distance between centers of masses = r = 0.5 m

Substitute these values into... 
Fg = (Gm₁m₂)/r²
Fg = ((6.674 x 10⁻¹¹)(0.145)(6.8)) / (0.5)²
Fg = 2.63 x 10⁻¹⁰ N 

Therefore, your answer should be

An airplane maintains a speed of 585 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a trip to a city 815 km away to t
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

a)   t = 1.47 h    b) t = 1.32 h

Explanation:

a)  In this problem the plane and the wind are in the same North-South direction, whereby the vector sum is reduced to the scalar sum (ordinary). Let's calculate the total speed

     v = v_{f}f - v_{w}

     v = 585 -32.1

     v = 552.9 km / h

We use the speed ratio in uniform motion

     v = x / t

     t = x / v

     t = 815 /552.9

     t = 1.47 h

b)  We repeat the calculation, but this time the wind is going in the direction of the plane

      v=  v_{f}f - v_{w}

      v 585 + 32.1

      v = 617.1 km / h

      t = 815 /617.1

      t = 1.32 h
