Answer:

=9.72 m/s

Explanation:

From the Newton's laws of motion;

x=2(v²cos∅sin∅)/g

Using geometry we see that 2 cos∅sin∅ = sin 2∅

Therefore, x= (v²sin 2∅)g,  where v is the take off speed x the range and ∅ the launch angle.

Making v the subject of the formula we obtain the following equation.

v=√{xg /(sin 2∅)}

x=7.80

∅=27.0

v=√{7.8×9.8/sin(27×2)}

v=√94.485

v=9.72 m/s

When comparing two circuits, you note that circuit one has twice the resistance and double the voltage of circuit two. This mean
pochemuha

This means that there is same current flow in both the circuit, or the circuit one has twice the power of circuit two.

According to ohm's law, the resistance is given as

I=V/R

Since the circuit one has twice the voltage, and resistance

I1=I2

Suppose an object’s initial velocity is 10 m/s and its final velocity is 4 m/s. Mass is constant.
Ostrovityanka [42]

The correct answer is:

Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.

In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

W=\Delta K=K_f -K_i

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy \Delta K is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where w is angular speed, 2\pi is a constant, and T is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the 2\pi does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

w=\frac{2\pi}{T} will also be the same

Your friend says that the force that the sun exerts on earth is much larger than the force that earth exerts on the sun. part a
Verizon [17]
I disagree with that opinion, and I have solid Physics to back me up.

The forces of gravity are always equal in both directions. The sun pulls the Earth with exactly the same force with which the Earth pulls the sun.

It may seem weird, but your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you. For the same reason.
