A water balloon is thrown at 20 m/s from the top of a 20 m high building, what is its speed when it hits the ground? Does the an

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The final velocity is 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle of projection matters

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water balloon, u = 20 m/s

height of the building, h = 20 m

let the final speed of the ball when it hits the ground = v

The final speed is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = (20)² + 2(9.8)(20)

v² = 400 + 392

v² = 792

v = √792

v = 28.14 m/s

Yes the angle matters, if the balloon had been dropped at a certain angle, the final velocity would have been estimated using the following formula;

$v_y^2 = u_y^2 sin^2(\theta) + 2gh_y$

where;

θ is the angle of projection, which accounts for the vertical component of the velocity.

At a playground, a child slides down a slide that makes a 42° angle with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic fr

kumpel [21]

Answer:

$a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given,

The angle of the slide= $42^\circ$

The mass of the child is= m

coefficient of friction = 0.20

when she slides down now apply Newton's law

$ma =mg \sin\theta - f$

$ma = mg\sin \theta -\mu mg \cos \theta$

therefore the acceleration

$a=g \sin\theta -\mu gcos\theta$

$a=g[\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta]$

$a=9.8\times [\sin 42^\circ -0.2\times \cos 42^\circ]$

$a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

hence, the magnitude of acceleration during her sliding is equal to $a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

What are advantages and disadvantages of using a solar cooker compared to other meanings of cookings?

drek231 [11]

The advantage of using a solar cooker is that it is Eco-friendly and the disadvantage is that it can be used only under certain conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A solar cooker is used for cooking food without having to use electricity or gas. Instead, the appliance uses heat from the sun to cook food. It is used widely in by people who travel in remote areas or go on trips. But the appliance has limitations of its own too.

ADVANTAGES

Using it is friendly to the environment
It can be easily assembled without expert assistance
No compromise on the quality and taste of foo

DISADVANTAGES

Requires sun to function and prepare food
Cannot function in winters or monsoon when the sun isn't present
Does not retain heat as efficiently and quickly as compared to other cooking appliances
