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

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>
