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

A wheel accelerates from rest to 34.7 rad/s at a rate of 47.0 rad/s^2. Through what angle (in radians) did the wheel turn while
dem82 [27]

12.8 rad

Explanation:

The angular displacement \theta through which the wheel turned can be determined from the equation below:

\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta (1)

where

\omega_0 = 0

\omega = 34.7\:\text{rad/s}

\alpha = 47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2

Using these values, we can solve for \theta from Eqn(1) as follows:

2\alpha\theta = \omega^2 - \omega_0^2

or

\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\alpha}

\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{(34.7\:\text{rad/s})^2 - 0}{2(47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2)}

\:\:\:\:= 12.8\:\text{rad}

How did Orsted discover Electromagnetism?
Liula [17]

Answer:

Hans Christian Oersted began a new scientific epoch when he discovered that electricity and magnetism are linked. He showed by experiment that an electric current flowing through a wire could move a nearby magnet. The discovery of electromagnetism set the stage for the eventual development of our modern technology-based world.
