A player kicks a football (from the ground) at an initial angle of 30°. The football is in the air for 2.4 s before it hits an o

pposing player. The opposing player was a horizontal distance x = 50 m away from where the football was kicked. What was the initial horizontal velocity component of the football?

Answer:

The initial horizontal velocity was 21 m/s

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a better understanding of the problem.

The equation for the position of an object moving in a parabolic trajectory is as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g ·t²)

Where:

r = vector position at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

Notice that at time t = 2.4 s the vector "r" is the one in the figure. We know that the x-component of that vector is 50 m. Then using the equation for the x-component of the vector "r", we can calculate the initial velocity:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

Let´s place the center of the frame of reference at the point of the kick so that x0 = 0.

x =  v0 · t · cos α

x/t = v0 · cos α

Notice in the figure that v0 · cos 30° = v0x which is the initial horizontal velocity. Remember trigonometry of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse = v0x / v0

Then:

50 m/ 2.4 s = v0 · cos 30° = v0x

v0x = 21 m/s

Electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing (lowest to highest) frequency is Radio waves < Green visible light < UV radiation.

<h3>What is Frequency?</h3>

This is defined as the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time. The unit of frequency is referred to as Hertz.

Electromagnetic radiations with increasing frequency can be seen below:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet radiations, X rays, γ rays.

A car moves with an initial velocity of 19 m/s due north. (Part A) Find the velocity of the car after 5.6 s if its acceleration
galben [10]

Answer

Assuming

east is the positive x direction

north is the positive y direction

initial velocity , u = 19 j m/s

a) acceleration , a = 1.6 j m/s^2

Using first equation of motion

v = u + a × t

v = 19 + 5.6× 1.6

v = 28 j m/s

the velocity of the car after 5.6 s is 28 m/s north

b)

acceleration , a = -1.5 j m/s^2

Using first equation of motion

v = u + a × t

v = 19 - 5.6 ×1.5

v = 10.6 j m/s

the velocity of the car after 5.6 s is 10.6 m/s north

How does the mass affect the speed as it rolls down a slope?
VikaD [51]
As we use the Kinetic energy and the equation is 1/2mv^2, changing its mass will change its speed and its energy. So more mass, more speed more energy. also the gravitational potential energy; mass x gravity x height; more mass and more height more speed as it go down to the slope! Hope it helps!
