(A) greater than 60° above the horizontal
(B) greater than 45° but less than 60° above the horizontal
(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

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.

For a certain spring, k = 15N/m. A weight is hung from the spring, stretching it from 0.3m to 0.4m. What force did the weight pr
Mashcka [7]
The stretch of the spring is
\Delta x = 0.4 m-0.3 m=0.1 m
The constant of the spring is k=15 N/m, so we can find the force produced by the weight by using Hook's law:
F=k\Delta x=(15 N/m)(0.1 m)=1.5 N

Is the mass of an object measured with scale, yes or no​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The scale actually measures the force that the object does against it, and that force is called the weight.

Such that if we have an object with mass M and we are on Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is g, the weight is:

W = M*g

Now, there is a unit called "kilogram-force"

Such that on Earth, an object that has a mass of 10 kilograms, weighs 10 kilograms-force.

Then from the weight measure, we can instantly know the mass of the object, but the thing that is being measured is the weight, not the mass.

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: A. 705°C. B. 873°C. C. 273°C. D. 327°C
zlopas [31]

Answer:

D). 327 ^0 C

Explanation:

As we know that temperature scale is linear so we will have

\frac{^0C - 0}{100 - 0} = \frac{K - 273}{373 - 273}

now we have

\frac{^0 C - 0}{100} = \frac{K - 273}{100}

so the relation between two scales is given as

^0 C = K - 273

now we know that in kelvin scale the absolute temperature is 600 K

so now we have

T = 600 - 273 = 327 ^0 C

so correct answer is

D). 327 ^0 C
