<span>What we need to first do is split the ball's velocity into vertical and horizontal components. To do that multiply by the sin or cos depending upon if you're looking for the horizontal or vertical component. If you're uncertain as to which is which, look at the angle in relationship to 45 degrees. If the angle is less than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the horizontal speed, if the angle is greater than 45 degrees, the larger value will be the vertical speed. So let's calculate the velocities sin(35)*18 m/s = 0.573576436 * 18 m/s = 10.32437585 m/s cos(35)*18 m/s = 0.819152044 * 18 m/s = 14.7447368 m/s Since our angle is less than 45 degrees, the higher velocity is our horizontal velocity which is 14.7447368 m/s. To get the x positions for each moment in time, simply multiply the time by the horizontal speed. So 0.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 7.372368399 m 1.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 14.7447368 m 1.50 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 22.1171052 m 2.00 s * 14.7447368 m/s = 29.48947359 m Rounding the results to 1 decimal place gives 0.50 s = 7.4 m 1.00 s = 14.7 m 1.50 s = 22.1 m 2.00 s = 29.5 m</span>

Your teacher (175kg) and the lab (15kg) are 2m apart. What is the gravitational force between them? Draw a FBD, and label
Pachacha [2.7K]
The gravitational force between two objects is given by
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2 }{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, m_1 = 175 kg, m_2 =15 kg and r=2 m, therefore the gravitational force between the two objects is
F=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}) \frac{(175 kg)(15 kg)}{(2m)^2}=4.38 \cdot10^{-8} N

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J
