A ball rolls over the edge of a platform with only a horizontal velocity. The height of the platform is 1.6 m and the horizontal

range of the ball from the base of the platform is 20 m. What is the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground? Neglect air resistance. Use g = -9.8 m/s². a. 4.9 m/s b. 9.8 m/s c. 35 m/s d. 20 m/s e. 70 m/s

Answer:

c. 35 m/s

Explanation:

We start by analzying the vertical motion of the ball, which is a free fall motion, so a uniform accelerated motion. Therefore we can use the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s = 1.6 m is the vertical displacement (we chose downward as positive direction)

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball

t is the time

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the time the ball takes to reach the ground:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.6)}{9.8}}=0.57 s

Now we can consider the horizontal motion, which is a uniform motion with constant speed. The horizontal distance travelled is given by

d=v_x t

where

d = 20 m is the horizontal distance travelled by the ball

t = 0.57 s is the time of flight

Solving for vx,

v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{20}{0.57}=35 m/s

And since the horizontal velocity is constant, this is also the horizonal velocity of the ball just before hitting the ground.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

-252.52

Explanation:

L = Distance between lenses = 10 cm

D = Near point = 25 cm

f_o = Focal length of objective = 0.9 cm

f_e = Focal length of eyepiece = 1.1 cm

Magnification of a compound microscope is given by

m=-\frac{L}{f_o}\frac{D}{f_e}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{10}{0.9}\times \frac{25}{1.1}\\\Rightarrow m=-252.52

The angular magnification of the compound microscope is -252.52

What is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? what is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? pressure
White raven [17]
Mathematically, relation between force, area and pressure is given by...
Pressure = force / area


hence, pressure is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to area.

worty [1.4K]
Big Bang is a theory that, as stated above, has grown to become widely acceptable scientific explanation of the origin of things. Research would say that according to this theory, the Earth originated billion years ago through an explosive of a highly energized point.

Through this explosion, the elements were formed. However, only the lightest of the elements including hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. From the choices, the answer would have to be the second choice, helium.

Answer: B. helium
