Answer:

v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = v_{ox}

Initial vertical velocity= v_{oy}  (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, a_x = 0 m/s²  [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, a_y = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2

5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2

20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2

v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s

How much power should a braked 1.5t car have to be braked to reduce its speed from 30m / s to 10m / s in 5s?​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

-120000 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / time

P = ΔE / t

P = (½ mv₂² − ½ mv₁²) / t

P = m (v₂² − v₁²) / (2t)

Given m = 1.5 t = 1500 kg, v₂ = 10 m/s, v₁ = 30 m/s, and t = 5 s:

P = (1500 kg) ((10 m/s)² − (30 m/s)²) / (2 × 5 s)

P = -120000 W

Can i get help for the parts for the two questions? MATHPHYSSSS
Anestetic [448]

Explanation:

003 (part 1 of 2)

Pressure is force divided by area.

P = F / A

P = (117 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / (2 × (0.05 m)²)

P = 229,320 Pa

003 (part 2 of 2)

There are approximately 6895 Pa in 1 psi.

P = 229,320 Pa × (1 psi / 6895 Pa)

P = 33.3 psi

004 (part 1 of 2)

Since the collisions are elastic, the angle of reflection is the same as the angle of incidence (it bounces off at the same angle).

Impulse = change in momentum

F Δt = m Δv

F (36 s) = (300 × 0.003 kg) (5.2 sin 57° m/s − (-5.2 sin 57° m/s))

F = 0.218 N

004 (part 2 of 2)

Pressure is force over area.

P = F / A

P = 0.218 N / 0.712 m²

P = 0.306 N/m²
