Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory (u_x) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2

Where, u_x\ and\ u_y are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

How much heat is contained in 100 kg of water at 60.0 °C?
attashe74 [19]
First we need to write down heat capacity for water which is constant.
cp=4186 J/(kg*K)

The equation for Energy that we will be calculating is:

E=cp*m*T
where m is mass and T is absolute temperature (273,15 + 60 in this case). Replacing all the values in equation we get:

E = 4186*100*333,15 = 139 456 590 J

A juggler is practicing with one ball. It takes 2.4 seconds for the ball to leave her hand and return to her hand. How fast did
nikklg [1K]

The kinematics for the vertical launch we can enter the initial velocity is 11.76 m / s

Given parameters

  • Time t = 2.4 s

To find

  • Initial velocity

Kinematics is the part of physics that establishes the relationships between the position, velocity, and acceleration of bodies.

In this case we have a vertical launch

          y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

Where y and y₀ are the final and initial positions, respectively, v₀ the initial velocity, g the acceleration of gravity (g = 9.8 m / s²) and t the time

   

With the ball in hand, its position is zero

         0 = 0 + v₀ t - ½ g t²

         v₀ t - ½ g t² = 0

         v₀ = ½ g t

Let's calculate

         v₀ = ½ 9.8 2.4

         v₀ = 11.76 m / s

In conclusion using kinematics for the vertical launch we can enter the initial velocity is 11.76 m / s

An object, initially at rest, is subject to an acceleration of 34 m/s2. How long will it take for that
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

If it is moving 34 m/s it will take 100 seconds, or 1:40 to reach 3400 meters.

Explanation:

I found this answer by dividing 3400 by 34 and converting seconds to minutes
