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

A driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch, and then resumes driving for the next 2.0 h through a di
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
<h2>82.353 km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

       The driver travels 135 km towards East in 1.5 hr. He stops for 45 min. He again travels 215 km towards East in 2.0 hr.

       The total displacement of the driver in the given time is ths sum of individual displacements, because all the displacements are in the same directon.

       Total displacement = 135\text{ }km\text{ }East\text{ }+\text{ }0\text{ }km\text{ }+\text{ }215\text{ }km\text{ }East\text{ }=\text{ }350\text{ }km\text{ }East

       Total time travelled = 1.5\text{ }hr\text{ }+\text{ }45\text{ }min\text{ }+\text{ }2.0\text{ }hr\text{ }=\text{ }90\text{ }min\text{ }+\text{ }45\text{ }min\text{ }+\text{ }120\text{ }min\text{ }=\text{ }255\text{ }min\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }hr\text{ }15\text{ }min\text{ }=\text{ }4.25\text{ }hr

      \text{Average velocity = }\dfrac{\text{Total displacement}}{\text{Total time taken}}=\dfrac{350\text{ }km}{4.25\text{ }hr}=82.353\text{ }\frac{km}{hr}

∴ Driver's average velocity = 82.353\text{ }\frac{km}{hr}

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're blank than a regarding telescope
olganol [36]
Reflecting telescopes are popular because they are more durable than a refracting telescopes.
There is a difference between these two types of telescopes, reflecting telescopes worked by reflecting light, they are also known as reflector and refracting telescopes worked by refracting light and they are also known as reflactor.
Reflecting telescopes also provides a good focus.

It took a bulldozer 62,000 J of work to move a rock 30 m. It took 5 minutes. How much force did the bulldozer have to apply?
NeX [460]

Answer:

A (2066,6 N)

Explanation:

Use the Work formula

62.000J = F . 30

62.000/30 = 2066,6 N

The amout of time it took to move the rock doesn´t matter at all.

It is called a distraction variable, We don´t need it to solve the problem it is there just to confuse.

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}

B= Magnetic field due to a straight and long wire that carries current

u= Free space permeability

I= Electrical current passing through the wire

a  = Perpendicular distance from the wire to the point where the magnetic field is located

Magnetic Field Calculation

We cleared (I) of the formula (1):

I=\frac{2\pi*a*B }{u} Formula(2)

B=0.2*10^{-5}  T = 0.2*10^{-5} \frac{weber}{m^{2} }

a  =8cm=0.08m

u=4*\pi *10^{-7} \frac{Weber}{A*m}

We replace the known information in the formula (2)

I=\frac{2\pi*0.08*0.2*10^{-5}  }{4\pi *10x^{-7} }

I=0.8 A

Answer: The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

An automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 30 m. The coefficient of
blondinia [14]

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circle, r = 30 m

The coefficient friction between tires and road is 0.5,

The centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

v = 12.12 m/s

So, the maximum speed with which this car can round this curve is 12.12 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
