In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp

ike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height of 2.10 m with an initial speed of 21.0 m/s at a downward angle of 14.0°. How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead, 6.0°?

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta

V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})

V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s

V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta

V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})

V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

x_{A}=V_{Ax}t

x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)

x_{A}=6.46m

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s

V_{By}=-2.195 m/s

y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}

-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0

t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}

t= -0.9159s    or   t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

x_{B}=V_{Bx}t

x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)

x_{B}=9.77m

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Determine the acceleration that result when a 12-N net force is applied to a 3-kg object and then to a 6-kg object
user100 [1]

For 3 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{3kg} = 4\lpha m / s^{2}</em>

For 6 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{6kg} = 2\lpha m / s^{2}</em>


Hope this helped, have a great day!~

What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate
maxonik [38]

Answer:

It moderates the temperature of coastal areas. The cool waters brought into warm areas temper the climate as well as the warm waters that enter a cool area there by moderating temperatures and climates.

Explanation:

One way that the world’s ocean affects weather and climate is by playing an important role in keeping our planet warm. The majority of radiation from the sun is absorbed by the ocean, particularly in tropical waters around the equator, where the ocean acts like a massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Land areas also absorb some sunlight, and the atmosphere helps to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.

The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.

Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides. Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines.

Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents in the ocean, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
