Interactive Solution 6.39 presents a model for solving this problem. A slingshot fires a pebble from the top of a building at a

speed of 13.0 m/s. The building is 23.0 m tall. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed with which the pebble strikes the ground when the pebble is fired (a) horizontally, (b) vertically straight up, and (c) vertically straight down.

Answer:

Given that

u = 13 m/s

h= 23 m

a) horizontally

We know that acceleration due top gravity is in vertical direction.

v²=u'²+ 2 g h    ( u'= 0 )

v² = 2 x 9.81 x 23

v= 21.24 m/s  ( vertical direction)

In the horizontal direction

u = 13 m/s

The resultant velocity

V²=v²+u²

V²=21.24²+13²

V= 24.91 m/s

(b) vertically straight up

u= 13 m/s

v²=u²+ 2 g h

v²=13²+ 2 x 9.81 x 23

v= 24.91 m./s

c)vertically straight down.

u= 13 m/s

v²=u²+ 2 g h

v²=13²+ 2 x 9.81 x 23

v= 24.91 m./s

a motorcyclist starts from rest and accelerates at rate of 4 meters per second squared north. what is the final velocity of the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

80m<em>/</em><em>s</em>

Explanation:

Final velocity is given by

v=u+at

when a motorcyclist starts from rest, initial velocity (u) =0

therefore

v=0+4*20

v=80m/s

that's the answer

a bird flying horizontally accidently drops a rock it was carrying. 2.10s later,the rocks velocity is 22.2m/s in a -68.2 directi
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

8.24 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

t = 2.10 s

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

vₓ = 22.2 cos(-68.2) m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

Find: v₀

In the x direction:

v = at + v₀

22.2 cos(-68.2) = (0) (2.10) + v₀ₓ

v₀ₓ = 8.24

v₀² = v₀ₓ² + v₀ᵧ²

v₀² = (8.24)² + (0)²

v₀ = 8.24 m/s

A graduate student is trying to follow the weather on Jupiter for her PhD thesis. To see the big weather patterns in the upper a
DaniilM [7]

Answer: large reflector located in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere

Explanation:

Since the student wants to see the big weather patterns in the upper atmosphere of the planet, and she will therefore need to have excellent resolution, the type of telescope that is ideal for her to use is a large reflector located in orbit above the Earth's atmosphere.

It should be noted that the refractor or a radio telescope isn't ideal in this situation as they will not capture the bug weather pattern and doesn't have an excellent resolution like the large reflector.

A plane, diving with constant speed at an angle of 44.1° with the vertical, releases a projectile at an altitude of 611 m. The p
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection be V .

component of velocity in vertically downward direction = v cos 44.1

component of velocity in horizontal direction = v sin 44.1

s = ut + 1/2 gt²

611 = v cos 44.1 x 5.4 + 1/2 x 9.8 x 5.4²

= 611 = 3.88 v + 142.88

v = 120.65 m /s

b )

horizontal component of velocity of projectile = v sin 44 .1 = 120.65 sin44.1

= 83.96 m /s

horizontal displacement = 83.96 x 5.4 = 453.38 m

c ) horizontal component will remain unchanged so horizontal component

=  v sin 44 .1 = 120.65 sin44.1

= 83.96 m /s

d ) velocity of projectile just before striking the ground

v = u + gt

= v cos 44.1  + 9.8 x 5.4

=  120.65 xcos 44.1  + 9.8 x 5.4

= 86.79 + 52.92

= 139.71 m /s

How long does it take light ray B to reach the girls eye? (speed of light at 3*10^8) And could someone explain why?
kodGreya [7K]

Explanation:

Using properties of 30-60-90 triangles, the distance from the vase to the mirror is 2/√3, and the distance from the mirror to the girl is also 2/√3.  So the light travels a total distance of 4/√3 meters.

t = d / v

t = (4/√3 m) / (3×10⁸ m/s)

t = 7.7×10⁻⁹ s
