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

Answer:

F = 12.5N

Explanation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

F = ma

F = (2.5kg) x (5m/s^2)

F = 12.5N

Answer:

Explanation:

Fa - u*m*g = m*a

Fa = u*m*g + m*a

Fa - m*a = u*m*g

u = \frac{Fa - m*a}{m*g}

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}
