First of all, let's write the equation of motions on both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. It's a uniform motion on the x-axis, with constant speed v_x=30 m/s, and an accelerated motion on the y-axis, with initial speed v_y=20 m/s and acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2:
S_x(t)=v_xt
S_y(t)=v_y t- \frac{1}{2} gt^2
where the negative sign in front of g means the acceleration points towards negative direction of y-axis (downward).

To find the distance from the landing point, we should find first the time at which the projectile hits the ground. This can be found by requiring
S_y(t)=0
Therefore:
v_y t -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0
which has two solutions:
t=0 is the time of the beginning of the motion,
t= \frac{2 v_y}{g} = \frac{2\cdot 20 m/s}{9.81 m/s^2}=4.08 s is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

Now, we can find the distance covered on the horizontal axis during this time, and this is the distance from launching to landing point:
S_x(4.08 s)=v_x t=(30 m/s)(4.08 s)=122.4 m

If someone throws a 3 gram fry accelerating at 5 meter/second2, what is the fry’s force?
Alex

Answer:

0.015 m/s2

Explanation:

Using Newtons 2nd law.

F = ma where F = Force applied, m = mass of the object and a = acceleration acquired.

So substitute the values in SI units.

m = \frac{3}{1000} kg

Therefore F = 0.003×5 = 0.015 m/s2

When a force of 20.0N is applied to a spring, it elongates 0.20m. Determine the period of oscillation of a 4.0kg object suspende
choli [55]
So what we can do is apply the<span> Hooke's law wich states that
F = -kx ( P.S the -ve sign means opposite in direction ) 
Also we will need to determine the spring's constant with the formula:
k = F / x 
Where F = the force ( = 20 N ) 
x = the displacement of the end of the spring from it's position ( = 0.20 m ) 
k = the spring's constant ( = unknown ) 
So this would be: k = 20 / 0.20 = 100 N/m 
The period of oscillation of 4 kg : T = 2 * pi * square root m / k 
T = 2 * pi * square root 4 / 100 
T = 1.256 seconds
Hope it helps</span>
