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

An object is placed at zero zero on a Number line. It moves three units to the right, then four units to the left, and then 60 u
STatiana [176]

Answer:

the displacement of the object is 5 units

Explanation:

The computation of the displacement of the object is shown below:

= Move to the right + move to the right - move to the left

= 6 units + 3 units - 4 units

= 9 units - 4 units

= 5 units

Hence, the displacement of the object is 5 units

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge is given by the following relation

F = q ( v x B )

for proton

q = e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = e ( vi x Bk )

= Bev - j

= - Bevj

The direction of force is along negative of y axis or -y - axis.

for electron

q = - e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = - e ( vi x Bk )

= - Bev - j

=  Bevj

The direction of force is along positive  of y axis or + y - axis.
