Answer:

D. The hang time of a projectile is greatest for a vertical launch.

Explanation:

As we know that range of projectile is given by the formula

$R = \frac{v^2sin(2\theta)}{g}$

so here as we increase the angle till 45 degree then the range will decrease but if we increase the angle more than 45 degree then the range will start decreasing

Also we know that time of flight is given by the formula

$T = \frac{2vsin\theta}{g}$

since it depends on the vertical component of the motion so we can say that hang time can be determine by vertical components of the motion

So maximum hang time is possible only when angle of projection is 90 degree

so correct answer will be

D. The hang time of a projectile is greatest for a vertical launch.

You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$R_3 < R_1 < R_2$

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:

$R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

where

$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

1) The first wire has length L and cross-sectional area A. So, its resistance is:

$R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

2) The second wire has length twice the first one: 2L, and same thickness, A. So its resistance is

$R_2=\frac{2\rho L}{A}$

3) The third wire has length L (as the first one), but twice cross sectional area, 2A. So, its resistance is

$R_3=\frac{\rho L}{2A}$

By comparing the three expressions, we find

$R_3 < R_1 < R_2$

So, this is the ranking of the wire from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).

Two rocks are at the top of a building. Rock 1 is dropped from rest while Rock 2 is thrown horizontaly at a velocity of 5 ms.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the second rock is 5 m/s, so if we pretend air resistance doesn't exist, it will maintain that horizontal velocity, meaning that there is no horizontal acceleration.

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum

Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the jet plane, v = 600 m/s

acceleration of the jet plane, a = 4g = 4 x 9.8 m/s² = 39.2 m/s²

The radius of the curve is calculated from centripetal acceleration formula as given below;

$a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a} \\\\r = \frac{600^2}{39.2} \\\\r = 9,183.67 \ m$

Therefore, the radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.
