Wile E. Coyote (Carnivorous hungribilous) is chasing the Roadrunner (Speedibus cantcatchmi) yet again. While running down the ro

ad, they come to a deep gorge, 15 m straight across and 100 m deep. The Roadrunner launches itself across the gorge at a launch angle of 15° above the horizontal, and lands with 1.5 m to spare.
(a) What was the Roadrunner's launch speed? Ignore air resistance.
(b) Wiley Coyote launches himself across the gorge with the same initial speed, but at a different launch angle. To his horror, he is short the other lip by 0.5 m. What was his launch angle? (Assume that it was lower than 15°.)

Answer:

(a) vo=17.98\frac{m}{s}

(b) \alpha =13.03779 centigrades

Explanation:

Let´s use the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile formula:

Xmax=\frac{v^{2} }{g} *sin(2\alpha ) (1)

So, we know that the maximum distance reached by the Roadrunner is:

Xmax=15+1.5=16.5m

if we assume that:

g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

replacing the values ​​in (1)

vo=\sqrt{\frac{16.5*9.8}{sin(30)} } =17.98\frac{m}{s}

Using the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a projectile formula again, let´s calculate the maximum distance reached by the Coyote:

Xmax=15-0.5=14.5m

Assuming

g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }

and replacing in (1)

sin(2\alpha )=\frac{14.5*9.8}{17.98^{2} } =0.4395564965\\\\arcsin(2\alpha)=arcsin(0.4395564965)\\\\2\alpha =26.07558729\\\\\alpha =13.03779centigrades

Answer:

current, only

Explanation:

current:I

voltage:U

resistance:R

formula: I=U/R

Increasing the battery cause the increasing in the voltage. Resistance does not normally change. And the current would increase.

Which runner has greater kinetic energy: a 45 kg runner moving at a speed of 7 m per second or a 93 kg runner moving at a
bagirrra123 [75]

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)

First runner:  KE = (1/2) (45kg) (49 m/s)  =  1,102.5 Joules  

Second runner:  KE = (1/2) (93kg) (9 m/s)  =  418.5 Joules

The <em>first runner </em><em>has 163</em>% more kinetic energy than the second runner has.

A balloon is ascending at 12.4m/s at a height of 81.3m above the ground when a package is dropped. a) How long did it take to re
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

3secs

Explanation:

Given the following parameters

height H= 81.3m

Velocity v = 12.4m/s

Required

Time it take to reach the ground

Using the equation of motion

H = ut+1/2gt²

81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²

81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0

Using the general formula to find t

t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)

t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8

t = -12.4+41.8/9.8

t = 29.4/9.8

t = 3secs

Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground

pashok25 [27]
I think the correct answer would be that the temperature of the clouds that made the very first stars where thought to be higher since the clouds are made up of hydrogen and helium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
