Answer:

yes

Explanation:

this is simple

the horizontal line is adjacent

the vertical line is opposite

recall that cos x=adj/hyp

adj=hyp(cos x)

while opp=hyp(sin x)

A projectile's horizontal range on level ground is r=v20sin2θ/g. at what launch angle or angles will the projectile land at half
Ksju [112]

As given the formula of range is

R = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}

now for the maximum range

\theta = 45

R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}

now for half of this maximum range we will have

\frac{R_{max}}{2} = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}

\frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}

now from above we have

sin2\theta = \frac{1}{2}

so two possible values for above is given as

\theta = 15 degree, 75 degree

so above two angle we will have half of maximum range

PHYSICS. <br> ……………………………………………….
belka [17]

Answer:

Work, W = F * d, and

Work = change in kinetic energy, so W=deltaKE.

Hence,

deltaKE=F * d

(1/2)*m*v^2 =F * d

d=[(1/2)*m*v^2]/F

d=[(1/2)*0.6*20^2]/5

d=24 m.

Explanation:

Work = change in kinetic energy, so W=deltaKE.

1The specific heat of substance (X) is greater than that for substance (Y). If equal amounts of heat are added to both these sub
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Substance Y

Explanation:

A substance with a high specific heat capacity can absorb a large quantity of heat before it will raise in temperature.  A substance with a low specific heat requires relatively little heat to raise its temperature. Thus, if the same amount of energy was added to both substances, substance Y will reach the higher temperature, while substance X would require more energy to reach high temperatures.

How fast a car goes is known as its
Dvinal [7]
How fast a car goes is known as its speed.

Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)

It has nothing to do with the direction the car is going.
______________________________________

The car's velocity is its speed AND the direction it's going.

30 miles per hour . . . speed

40 miles per hour north . . . velocity

20 miles per hour south
20 miles per hour west . . . . . same speed, different velocity

-- 'Velocity' is NOT a big word that you use when you mean
'speed' but you want to sound smarter.  It's a different thing.

-- If you don't know anything about the direction the car is going,
then you can't say anything about its velocity.

-- If the car is going around a curve, then its velocity is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.
