Answer:

The velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity: Velocity of a body can be defined as the rate of change of displacement of the body. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s. velocity is expressed in one of newtons equation of motion, and is given below.

v² = u² + 2gs.......................... Equation 1

Where v = the final velocity of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, s = the height of the ball

Given: s = 20 m, u = 0 m/s

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 1,

v² = 0 + 2×9.8×20

v² = 392

v = √392

v = 19.799 m/s.

Therefore the velocity of the ball as it hit the ground = 19.799 m/s

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction when light passes from a medium where its sp

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is passing. When light speeds up as it passes from one material to another, the angle of refraction is bigger than the angle of incidence. For example, this happens when light passes from water to air or from glass to water ❤

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0$

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)$

⇒ $Fa=2.24Fb$

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950

⇒ $Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950$

⇒ $2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950$

⇒ $Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5$

⇒ $Fa=2.24*Fb$

$=2.24*345.5$

$=773.93$

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 13.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(A) V = 9.89m/s

(B) U = -2.50m/s

(D) ΔK.E = –257750J

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below. The east has been chosen as the direction for positivity.

This problem involves the principle of momentum conservation. This principle states that the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. This problem is an inelastic kind of collision for which the momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not. The kinetic energy after collision is always lesser than that before collision. The balance is converted into heat by friction, and also sound energy.

See attachment below for full solution.

It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s–1. how long would it take for an initial concentration of 0

VikaD [51]

The rate constant of a reaction can be computed by the ratio of the changes in the concentration and time take taken for it to decompose. Thus, if the rate constant is given to be 14 M/s, we have

$rate = \frac{-(C_{new} - C_{old})}{t}$

where C are the concentration values and t is the time taken for it to decompose.

$14 = \frac{-(0.02 - 0.06)}{t}$
$t = 0.003 s$

Thus, it will take 0.003 s for it to decompose.
Answer: 0.003 s
