This is a non testable question because it cannot be answered by doing an experiment. But it could be modified for example Dogs are more obedient then cats.

A projectile is fired with a velocity of 22 m/s at an angle of 25°. What is the vertical component of the velocity?

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Vertical component of velocity is 9.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of projection of a projectile, v = 22 m/s

It is fired at an angle of 22°

The horizontal component of velocity is v cosθ

The vertical component of velocity is v sinθ

So, vertical component is given by :

$v_y=v\ sin(25)$

$v_y=22\ m/s\times\ sin(25)$

$v_y=9.29\ m/s$

Hence, the vertical component of the velocity is 9.29 m/s

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

$v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2} + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s$

Joan stirred a pot of hot soup with a metal spoon. after a minute or two, the handle of the spoon became too hot to hold. what k

natima [27]

When the metal spoon comes in contact with the hot soup, heat transfer from hot soup to the spoon because of difference in temperature of the two. The kind of heat transfer represented here is conduction. In conduction, heat is transferred from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature when there is a physical contact between the two.
