Answer:

121.7 m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal range, R = 1420 m

Angle of projection, θ = 35°

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

let u be the velocity of projection.

Use the formula for horizontal range

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

1420=\frac{u^{2}Sin70 }{9.8}

u = 121.7 m/s

Thus, the velocity of projection is 121.7 m/s.

Answer:

v_{o}=141.51m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the final x distance, the angle which the projectile is being released and acceleration of gravity

x=1420m\\g=-9.8m/s^{2}

From the equation of x-position we know that

x=v_{ox}t=v_{o}cos(35)t

Solving for v_{o}

v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(35)} =\frac{1420m}{tcos(35)} (1)

Now, if we analyze the equation of y-position we got

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

At the end of the motion y=0

0=v_{o}sin(35)t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Knowing the equation for v_{o} in (1)

0=\frac{1420}{tcos(35)}tsin(35)-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}=1420tan(35)

Solving for t

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1420tan(35))}{9.8} } =14.25s

Now, we can solve (1)

v_{o}=\frac{1420m}{(14.25s)cos(35)}=141.51m/s

What relationship exists between speed, velocity, and acceleration
enyata [817]
Velocity is speed and the direction of the speed. Acceleration is the rate at which Velocity is changing, and the direction in which it's changing.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

In a coiled spring, the particles of the medium vibrate to and fro about their mean positions at an angle of

A. 0° to the direction of propagation of wave

Explanation:

The waveform of a coiled spring is a longitudinal wave, which is made up of vibrations of the spring which are in the same direction as the direction of the wave's advancement

As the coiled spring experiences a compression force and is then released, it experiences a sequential movement of the wave of the compression that extends the length of the coiled spring which is then followed by a stretched section of the coiled spring in a repeatedly such that the direction of vibration of particles of the coiled is parallel to direction of motion of the wave

From which we have that the angle between the direction of vibration of the particles of the coiled spring and the direction of propagation of the wave is 0°.

7. Two bikes travelling in the same direction move at a speed of 30 km/hr. The bikes are separated by a distance of 5 km. What w
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Call the bike on the right A

Call the bike on the left B

The car begins it's time when it passes A

4 minutes later, it passes B.

But B has moved in 4 minutes and that is the key to the problem.

How far has B moved.

t = 4 minutes = 4/60 hours = 1/15 of an hour.

d = ?

rate = 30 km / hr

d = r * t

d = 30 km/hr * 1/15 hours = 2 km

The distance between the bikes is 5 km.

So the car has traveled 5 - 2 = 3 km

d = 3 km

r = ?

t = 4 minutes = 1/15 hour

r = d/t = 3/(1/15)= 3 / 0.066666666  = 45 km/hr.
