The details are very long and complicated. The simplest way I can answer those 4 questions is: That's the way gravity works.

If you take Newton's law of gravity and his three laws of motion, and massage them properly using some geometry and some calculus, you can show that planets MUST move like Kepler's laws say they do, and like what we see them actually doing in the sky.

(I used to be able to do this, but it's been a while.)

A punter wants to kick a football so that the football has a total flight time of 4.70s and lands 56.0m away (measured along the

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

How long does the football need to rise?

4.70/3 = 2.35 s

What height will the football reach?

h = ½(9.81)2.35² = 27.1 m

With what speed does the punter need to kick the football?

vy = g•t = 9.81(2.35) = 23.1 m/s

vx = d/t = 56.0/4.70 = 11.9 m/s

v = √(vx²+vy²) = 26.0 m/s

At what angle (θ), with the horizontal, does the punter need to kick the football?

θ = arctan(vy/vx) = 62.7°

A small car with mass m and speed 2v and a large car with mass 2m and speed v both travel the same circular section of an unbank

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

(D) F/2

Explanation:

Since the circular section is unbanked, the centripedal acceleration acting on each of the cars is

$a_s = \frac{v_s^2}{r} = \frac{(2v)^2}{r} = \frac{4v^2}{r}$

$a_l = \frac{v_l^2}{r} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

Therefore the centripetal force on each car

$F_s = m_sa_s = \frac{4mv^2}{r}$

$F_l = m_la_l = \frac{2mv^2}{r}$

Since $F_s = 2F_l$ this means the friction force required to keep the large car on the road is only half of the friction force required to keep the small car on road

So (D) F/2 is the correct answer
