A ball is launched with an initial velocity of 3m/s, at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal, and from a height of 0.5m.

How far will it travel horizontally before it hits the ground?

Answer:

The ball travels <u>1.31 m horizontally</u> before hitting the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the ball is, u=3\ m/s

Angle of projection is, \theta=40\ degree

Initial height of the ball is, y_0=0.5\ m

Final height of the ball is, y=0\ m

Now, horizontal  and vertical components of initial velocity are given as:

u_x=u\cos\theta\\\\u_y=u\sin\theta

Plug in the given values and find u_x\ and\ u_y. This gives,

u_x=3\ m/s\times \cos(40)\\\\u_x=2.3\ m/s\\\\u_y=3\ m/s\times \sin(40)\\\\u_y=1.9\ m/s

Now, there is acceleration due to gravity acting in the vertical direction. The direction is downward. So, g=-9.8\ m/s^2.

Now, using equation of motion in the vertical direction, we have:

y-y_0=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}a_y t^2

Plug in the given values and solve for time 't'. This gives,

0-0.5=1.9t-0.5\times 9.8\times t^2\\\\-0.5=1.9t-4.9t^2\\\\4.9t^2-1.9t-0.5=0

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get:

t=0.57\ s\ or\ t=-0.18\ s

Ignoring the negative result as time can't be negative. So, time taken by the ball to reach the ground is 0.57 s.

Now, as the ball moves, there is no force acting on it in the horizontal direction. So, the acceleration in the horizontal direction is 0.

Now, we know that, when acceleration is zero, the body moves with a constant speed.

Hence, distance traveled in the horizontal direction is given as:

Horizontal distance = Horizontal component of initial velocity × Time

R=u_x\times t

Plug in the given values and solve for 'R'. This gives,

R=2.3\times 0.57\\\\R=1.31\ m

So, the ball travels 1.31 m horizontally before hitting the ground.

Sound waves are a longitudinal wave that have a speed of about 340 m/s when traveling through room temperature air. What is the
AlexFokin [52]

The wavelength of the wave is 0.055 m

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem we have

v = 340 m/s is the speed

f = 6,191 Hz is the frequency

Solving for \lambda, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{340}{6191}=0.055 m

How long does it take anya to cover the distance of 5.00 miles ?
sammy [17]
Here is the full information about the question. <span>Ilya and Anya each can run at a speed of 8.50mph and walk at a speed of 3.50 mph . They set off together on a route of length 5.00 miles . Anya walks half of the distance and runs the other half, while Ilya walks half of the time and runs the other half.
the calculation would be:
</span><span>
t = d / s </span>
<span>t = 2.5 (half of the total distance) / 8.5 (speed of running) </span>
<span>This is .294 hours which is about 1058s... </span>

<span>for the walking part... </span>

<span>t = d / s </span>
<span>t = 2.5 / 3.5 </span>
<span>t = 5/7hours = 2571 s. </span>
