A child is trying to throw a ball over a fence. She gives the ball an initial speed of 8.0 m/s at an angle of 40° above the hori

zontal. The ball leaves her hand 1.0 m above the ground and the fence is 2.0 m high. The ball just clears the fence while still traveling upwards and experiences no significant air resistance. How far is the child from the fence?

Answer:

the child is 1.581 m far from the fence

Explanation:

The diagrammatic illustration that give a better view of what the question denote can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image attached below, let assume that the release point is the origin, then equation of the motion (x) is as follows:

x - x_o = u_xt

\mathtt{x = u_xt  \ \  \ since (x_o = 0)}  ---- (1)

the equation of the motion y is :

\mathtt{y - y_o =u_yt - 0.5 gt^2}

\mathtt{y = u_yt-4.9t^2     \ \ \  since (y_o =0)}

\mathtt{ 1= (u \ sin 40^0)t -4.9 \ t^2        }

\mathtt{1 = 8 sin 40^0 t - 4.9 t^2}

\mathtt{1 = 5.14t - 4.9t^2}

\mathtt{4.9t^2 - 5.14t +1 = 0}

By using the quadratic formula, we have;

\mathtt{ \dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}}     }

where;

a = 4.9,   b = -5.14     c = 1

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ -(-5.14) \pm \sqrt{(-5.14)^2 - 4(4.9)(1)}}{2(4.9)}}     }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14 \pm \sqrt{26.4196 -19.6}}{9.8}}     }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14 \pm \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}}     }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14+ \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}  \  \ OR \  \  \dfrac{ 5.14- \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}}    }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14+ 2.6114}{9.8}  \  \ OR \  \  \dfrac{ 5.14- 2.6114}{9.8}}    }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 7.7514}{9.8}  \  \ OR \  \  \dfrac{ 2.5286}{9.8}}    }

= \mathbf{ 0.791 \  \ OR \  \  0.258}    }

In as much as the ball is traveling upward, then we consider t= 0.258sec.

From equation (1)

\mathtt{x = u_x(0.258)}

\mathtt{x = ucos 40^0 (0.258)}

\mathtt{x = 8 \ cos 40^0 (0.258)}

\mathbf{x = 1.581  \ m}

Thus, the child is 1.581 m far from the fence

Which is considered computer storage
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Second Option

Explanation:

The "hard drive" or the second option is one of the main components of storing information on a computer. You already have a hard drive built into your computer, or laptop when you buy it, and you can buy additional hard drives in the form of plugins that can store even more data if your original hard drive becomes full of data.

Hope this helps.

What appliances use electromagnets
Svetlanka [38]
Electromagnets are used in home appliances quite regularly and are used even in simple home appliances. Common home appliances that use electromagnets are toasters, printers, and microwave ovens. Electromagnets are a certain type of magnet that does not function unless an electrical current flows through it. These appliances create the magnetic field by flowing electricity through certain parts of the appliance.
