Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

The displacement of particle moving along on x axis is given by x = 18t + 5.0t^2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds Calcu
Masja [62]

Answer:

38 m/s

43 m/s

Explanation:

x = 18t + 5.0t²

The instantaneous velocity is the first derivative:

v = 18 + 10.t

At t = 2.0:

v = 18 + 10.(2.0)

v = 38 m/s

The average velocity is the change in position over change in time.

v = Δx / Δt

v = [ (18t₂ + 5.0t₂²) − (18t₁ + 5.0t₁²) ] / (t₂ − t₁)

Between t = 2.0 and t = 3.0:

v = [ (18(3.0) + 5.0(3.0)²) − (18(2.0) + 5.0(2.0)²) ] / (3.0 − 2.0)

v = [ (54 + 45) − (36 + 20.) ] / 1.0

v = 99 − 56

v = 43 m/s

A softball is thrown from the origin of an X-Y coordinate system with an initial speed of 18 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above
Goshia [24]
Vo = 18 m/s
angle 35 degrees

1) Components of the initial velocity
 
Vox = Vo*cos(35) = 18*cos(35) m/s = 14.74 m/s
Voy = Vo* sin(35) = 18*sin(35) m/s = 10.32 m/s

2) Equations of postion:

x = Vox*t
y = Voy*t - gt^2 / 2

3) Calculations

A) t = 0.5 s, t = 1.0 st = 1.5 s, t = 2.0 s

x = 14.74 * t

t = 0.5 s => x = 14.74 m/s * 0.5s = 7.37 m

t = 1.0 s => x = 14.74 m/s * 1.0s = 14.74 m

t = 1.5s => x = 22.11 m

t = 2s => x = 29.48 m

B)

y = Voy*t - gt^2 / 2

Voy = 10.32 m/s
g = 10 m/s (approximation)

y = 10.32*t - 5t^2

t = 0.5 s=> y = 3.91m

t = 1 s => y = 5.32m

t = 1.5 s => y = 4.23m

t = 2 s => y = 0.64 m

How many significant digits are there in the number 1,500​
Inessa [10]

Answer: This number has three significant figures.

Explanation: Trailing zeros, which are zeros at the end of a number, are significant only if the number has a decimal point. Thus, in 1,500 m, the two trailing zeros are not significant because the number is written without a decimal point.

A force of 50 N begins to move a block of wood weighing 100 N on a
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 50 N

Weight (W) = 100 N

Coefficient of static friction (μ) =.?

The coefficients of static friction (μ) is simply defined as the ratio of force (F) to the normal reaction (N). Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

μ = F / N

With the above formula, we can obtain the coefficient of static friction as follow:

Force (F) = 50 N

Weight (W) = 100 N

Coefficient of static friction (μ) =.?

μ = F / W

μ = 50 / 100

μ = 0.5

Thus, coefficient of static friction is 0.5
