Answer:

The correct option is;(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

Here, we have for maximum horizontal distance

h = v×t

Where t is the time of flight

The time of flight is given by

s = v·t - 0.5 × gt² to maximize the time of flight, we therefore increase the height such that

Since the range is given by

Horizontal range, x = v·t·cosα

Vertical range, y  = v·t·sinα - 0.5·g·t²

When the particle comes back to initial level, we have

0 = v·t·sinα - 0.5·g·t² → 0 = t(v·sinα - 0.5·g·t)

So that t = 0 or t = \frac{2\cdot v\cdot sin\alpha }{g}

Therefore, horizontal range =

\frac{v^{2} \cdot 2\cdot  cos\alpha \cdot sin\alpha }{g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\alpha) }{g}

Therefore maximum range is obtained when α = 45° as sin 90° = 1

Answer:

(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is given by R = v²sin2θ/g.

For maximum range, sin2θ = 1 ⇒ 2θ = sin⁻¹(1) = 90°

2θ = 90°

θ = 90°/2 = 45°

So the maximum horizontal distance R is in the range 0 < θ < 45°, if θ is the angle above the horizontal.

A ball is dropped from a height of 20m and renounce with the velocity which is 3/4 of d velocity with which it hits the ground.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

1.73 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity the ball first hits the ground with is:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) (-20 m)

v = -20 m/s

The velocity it rebounds with is 3/4 of that in the opposite direction, or 15 m/s.

The time it takes to return to the ground is:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = (15 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²

0 = t (15 − 5t²)

t = √3

t ≈ 1.73 seconds

The atmospheric pressure above a swimming pool changes from 753 to 772 mm of mercury. the bottom of the pool is a rectangle (11
Evgesh-ka [11]
Change in pressure : 772-753 = 19 mm Hg 
Since 1 mm Hg = 133 Pa Hg
 Then, 19 mm Hg = 2527 Pa Hg
 Area of rectangular pool = L* B = 11 x 21 = 231 m^2
 To find the force, we multiply the area by the change in pressure: 2527 (231) = 583737N

Describe the structure of metal
posledela
Metal atoms move freely. The metallic bond is the force of attraction between the free electrons and metal ions. Metallic bonds are strong so metals can keep a regular structure and usually have strong melting and boiling points.
