Answer:

v = 46.99 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground, is given by the following formula:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}           (1)

vx: horizontal component of the velocity

vy: vertical component of the velocity

The vertical component vy is calculated by using the following formula:

v_y^2=v_{oy}^2+2gh   (2)

vy: final velocity

voy: initial vertilal velocity = 0m/s  (because it is a semi parabolic motion)

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

h: height = 1.60m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

v_y=2(9.8m/s^2)(1.60m)=31.36\frac{m}{s}

vx is calculated by using the information about the horizontal range of the ball:

R=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}    (3)

R: horizontal range of the ball = 20.0 m

You solve the previous equation for vo, the initial horizontal velocity:

v_o=R\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}=(20.0m)\sqrt{\frac{9.8m/s^2}{2(1.60m)}}\\\\v_o=35\frac{m}{s}

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant in the complete trajectory, hence, you have that

vx = vo = 35 m/s

Finally, you replace the values of vx and vy in the equation (1):

v=\sqrt{(35m/s)^2+(31.36m/s)^2}=46.99\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground is 46.99 m/s

How are fission and fusion similar?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Fusion and fission are similar in that they both release large amounts of energy. Nuclear fusion is a process in which two nuclei join to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fission is a process in which a nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei.

When two point charges are a distance d apart, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is F. If the distance betwe
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force decreases by a factor 9

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

d is the distance between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. If the distance is increased to 3d: d' = 3d, the new electrostatic force would be:

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(d')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(3d)^2}=\frac{1}{9} k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{9}

So, the electrostatic force decreases by a factor 9.
