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

Alona [7]

Answer: It is not likely.

Explanation:

When the bus is moving forward, all the objects inside of it also are moving forward.

Now, as the objects inside the buss are not fixed to the bus, if the bus suddenly stops the objects inside of it will keep moving forward, because of the conservation of the momentum, defined as the quantity of motion (Similar to when you are in a car and it suddenly stops, you can feel the forward impulse).

Then is not likely that, in a case where the bus stops suddenly, an object inside the bus flies backward in opposite direction to the previous movement of the bus.
