A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 6.2m above the street below. The vertical wall of the building is h=7.30m hig

h, forming a 1.1-m-high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of
θ
=53.0 degrees above the horizontal at a point d=24.0m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20s to reach a point vertically above the wall.

a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched. (Give your answer to two decimal places to reduce rounding errors in later parts.)
b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the wall.
c) Find the horizontal distance from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands.

Answer:

a. 18.13m/s

b. 0.84m

c. 2.4m

Explanation:

a. to find the speed at which the ball was lunched, we use the horizontal component.Since the point distance from the base of the ball is 24m and it takes 2.20 secs to reach the wall,we can say that

t=distance /speed

speed v_{x}=vcos\alpha=24/2.2=10.9m/s\\V=10.9/cos53^{0}\\V=18.13m/s

Hence the speed at which ball was lunched is 18.13m/s

b. from the equation

y=v_{y}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\ v_{y}=18.13sin53=14.48m/s\\\\y=(14.48*2.2)-\frac{1}{2}9.8*2.2^{2}\\y=8.14m\\

the vertical distance at which the ball clears the wall is

y=8.14-7.3=0.84m

c. the time it takes the ball to reach the 6.2m vertically

6.2=14.47t-4.8t^{2}\\\\14.47t-4.8t^{2}-6.2=0\\\using\\t=-b±\frac{\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}\\ where \\a=-4.8, b=14.47t, c=6.2\\hence t=2.4secs

the horizontal distance covered at this speed is

y+24=(18.13cos53)2.4\\y=26.186-24\\y=2.12m

Calculate the frequency of visible light having a wavelength of 410 nm
maria [59]
Given: Wavelength λ = 410 nm  convert to Meters m = 4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Required: Frequency  f = ?

Formula: c = λf 

               f = c/λ

               f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s/4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m

               f = 7.32 x 10¹⁴/s  or 732 Thz (Terahertz)

How does the function of the parts of the system contribute to its function as a whole
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer and explanation: Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.
