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

If 3600 j of work is done in 3.0 s what is the power<br>0.00083W<br>1200W<br>3600W<br>11000W
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1200 W

Explanation:

Power is given by the ratio between work done and time taken:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t the time taken.

In this problem, W = 3600 J and t = 3.0 s. Therefore, the power in this exercise is

P=\frac{3600 J}{3.0 s}=1200 W

Write a numerical expression for the emissive intensity (in W/m^2.sr) coming out of a tiny hole in an enclosure of surface tempe
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

6.0 × 10^{11} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

From Wien's displacement formula;

Q = e AT^{4}

Where: Q is the quantity of heat transferred, e is the emissivity of the surface, A is the area, and T is the temperature.

The emissive intensity = \frac{Q}{A} = eT^{4}

Given from the question that: e = 0.6 and T = 1000K, thus;

emissive intensity = 0.6 × (1000)^{4}

                             = 0.6 × 1.0 × 10^{12}

                             = 6.0 × 10^{11} \frac{W}{m^{2} }

Therefore, the emissive intensity coming out of the surface is 6.0 × 10^{11} W/m^{2}.
