Explanation:

a= v/t

v= at

= 20m/s2 × 1sec

= 20m/s

You launch a cannonball at an angle of 35° and an initial velocity of 36 m/s (assume y = y₁=
velikii [3]

Answer:

Approximately 4.2\; {\rm s} (assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of 35^{\circ} above the horizon.)

Explanation:

Initial vertical component of velocity:

\begin{aligned}v_{y} &= v\, \sin(35^{\circ}) \\ &= (36\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})\, (\sin(35^{\circ})) \\ &\approx 20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing y_{1} is the same as the altitude y_{0} at which this projectile was launched: y_{0} = y_{1}.

Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is 20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be (-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) (downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:

\begin{aligned}\Delta v_{y} &= (-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &= -41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be g. In other words, a = g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}.

Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of \Delta v_{y} would be:

\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{\Delta v_{y}}{a_{y}} \\ &= \frac{-41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}} \\ &\approx 4.2\; {\rm s} \end{aligned}.

Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately 4.2\; {\rm s}.

What is the density of a piece of wood with a mass of 25 kg<br> and a volume of 0.0385 m³?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

649kg/m^3

Explanation:

Let p be the density of this particular object.

Formula for density:

p =  \frac{mass \: (in \: kg)}{volume \: (in \:  {m}^{3}) }

We can substitute the givenmass and volume to find density of the object.

p =  \frac{25kg}{0.0385 {m}^{3} }  \\  = 649kg \: per \:  {m}^{3}

Therefore the density of this object is 649kg/m^3.

How to represent milligram in kilogram by standard formula?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

0.000001 kg

Explanation:

because 1 kg equal 1,000,000 milligrams

we take   \frac{1}{1,000,000} which equals 0.000001 kg

A student heats a liquid on a burner. What happens to the portion of liquid that first begins to warm? Check all that apply.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The answers are options B,D and E

Explanation:

B) The particles in the liquid are slowly overcoming the forces of attraction and spreading out due to the thermal energy they are absorbing. This makes the liquid less dense as it slowly changes into a gas after reaching its boiling point.

D) The particles start absorbing the energy form the surroundings as latent heat of evaporation. They need this energy to overcome the strong forces of attraction between particles to change into the gaseous state

E) The particles have spaced out due to the thermal energy absorbed, making the liquid lighter and it rises upwards.
