Answer:

90°/-90°

Explanation:

assume we are measuring launch angles with respect to horizontal surface

assume +y direction to be positive

when object is launched with launch angle <90° but >0°

it has 2 components for velocity v

v_{x} in horizontal direction

v_{y} in vertical direction

the v_{x}  <u>component remains unchanged throughout the travel</u> as there is no force acting on it to change it (air resistance is ignored)

v_{y} this component is decreased till 0, as acceleration due to gravity is acting on it and<u> starts to increase in downward direction</u>.

when ball reaches the same height of the building while going down, this vertical component of ball is equal same as v_{y} but in opposite direction

so now vertical velocity = -v_{y}

this <u>component keeps on increasing until it hits the ground</u> as the gravity accelerates it to the ground

the horizontal component is unchanged throughout

So to have maximum speed when the ball reaches the ground,the vertical velocity component must be maximum at launch,so it will <u>just be accelerated until it hits the ground.</u>

⇒ In this case,the maximum vertical component can be v or -v

⇒v_{y}=v or v_{y}= -v

⇒ horizontal component is 0

this means  that ball is thrown directly up at 90° or directly down at 90° with respect to horizontal.

Each of 100 identical blocks siting on a frictionless surface is connected to the next bloc by a massless string. The first bloc
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A) 1 N

B) 50 N

Explanation:

Let us consider that the string does not deform.

To solve this problem lets consider the whole system as two parts. In the initial case, the first part will be de 100N being exterted to the whole system and in the second the 100 blocks system.

In this case we can imagine as the whole system being pulled by 100 N, and therefore its acceleration will be:

a = 100 N /(100 m)

where m stantds for the mass of one block

Now, the whole system and its individual parts must move with the same acceleration otherwise the string would stretch.

Now lets consider the first part of the system as the first block, and the second part as the other 99 blocks.

The Tension of the string pulling the 99 blocks must be so that it exterts the enough force to move that 99blocks-system at an acceleration a, since that sub-system has a mass of 99m

T1 = 99 m * a = (99 m) * (100 N/ 100 m) = 99 N

Now lets consider an intermidiate sub-system, where the first part is made of n blocks and the second susbsystem is made of (100 -n) blocks

Following the same logic, the tension of the corresponding string must be the acceleration of the whole systems times the mass of the second subsystem:

Tn = (100 -n)m * ( 100 N / 100 m ) = (100 -n) N

a)

Therefore the tension in the string connecting block 100 to block 99 must be

<u>T99 = 1 N</u>

<u />

b)

And

<u>T50 = 50 N</u>

What is the weight in newtons of a 10 kg mass on the earth's<br> surface?
juin [17]

Answer:

98 kg

Mass is given as 10 kg. Therefore, Weight = 10 kg * 9.8 m/s^2. Weight = 98 kg.m/s^2. = 98 Newtons.

Why doesn't a radio operating with two batteries function when one of the batteries is reversed? ​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

If you have two batteries and they have precisely the same voltage then placing one backwards will effectively cancel out the voltages and no current will flow. However, batteries aren't like that. The slightest difference in voltages mean that current will flow.
