Using the following formulas for projectile motion:

Height, H = ( Vo^2 * sin theta^2 )/g

Range, R = ( Vo^2 * sin 2*theta )/g

Rearranging in terms of Vo^2:

Vo^2 = gH / sin theta^2

Vo^2 = gR / sin 2*theta

Equating the two formulas to each other to solve for the angle theta:

gR / sin 2*theta = <span>gH / sin theta^2
</span>
Substituting the given values:

(9.8)(111) / sin 2*theta = (9.8)(72.3)<span> / sin theta^2
</span>angle = 52.36 degrees

Therefore, the angle of launch is approximately 52.36 degrees.

Why would a soccer ball keep going forever without physics? Pls help and explain why

Pani-rosa [81]

A soccer ball would keep moving forever without physics, because without force to act upon the soccer ball, it could, or will not be able to stop the acceleration. And force is a factor in physics.

You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the eart

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

$v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

At some distance from the Earth the force of attraction due to moon is balanced by the force due to Moon

so we will have

$\frac{GM_em}{r^2} = \frac{GM_m}{(d-r)^2}$

now we have

$\frac{d - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e}}$

$\frac{3.844\times 10^8 - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{7.36 \times 10^{22}}{5.9742\times 10^{24}}}$

so we will have

$r = 3.46 \times 10^8 m$

Now by energy conservation

$-\frac{GM_e}{R_e} - \frac{GM_m}{d - (R_e + R_m)} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -\frac{GM_e}{r} - \frac{GM_m}{d - r}$

$-6.26 \times 10^{8} - 13046 + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -1.15 \times 10^6 - 1.28 \times 10^5$

$v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s$

The force of gravity on a 2-kg rock is twice as great as that on a 1-kg rock. why then doesn't the heavier rock fall faster?

katrin2010 [14]

It takes twice the force to produce the same acceleration in the 2kg rock.

16) A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back

finlep [7]

Answer:

The man's total displacement is equal to 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back to the starting line.

We need to find the total displacement of the man.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

Also,

Displacement = final position - initial position

As it reaches back to its starting line, it means, the displacement is equal to 0.

Hence, the man's total displacement is equal to 0.
