acceleration =  \frac{ v_{2}- v_{1}  }{t} = \frac{5-20}{5} =-3m/s^{2}

A ball is kicked at 30.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0°. Beneath the tilted columns calculate the vertical and horizontal components.
RSB [31]

The velocities at time <em>t</em> are

• Horizontal:

<em>v</em> = (30.0 m/s) cos(20.0º)

• Vertical:

<em>v</em> = (30.0 m/s) sin(20.0º) - <em>g</em> <em>t</em>

(where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity)

If you only want the <u>initial</u> velocities, they are

• Horizontal:

<em>v</em> = (30.0 m/s) cos(20.0º) ≈ 28.2 m/s

• Vertical:

<em>v</em> = (30.0 m/s) sin(20.0º) ≈ 10.3 m/s

(just set <em>t</em> = 0)

As far as starting equations go, you can derive everything from the definition for average acceleration:

<em>a</em> = ∆<em>v</em> / ∆<em>t</em> = (final <em>v</em> - initial <em>v</em>) / <em>t</em>

→   <em>v</em> = <em>u</em> + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>

(here, <em>u</em> stands in for "initial <em>v</em>" and <em>v</em> is simply velocity at time <em>t</em> )

There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction, while the ball is essentially in free-fall in the vertical direction.

Which of these is something whose construction MOST LIKELY would be determined by the government? A) An airport B) A golf club C
vesna_86 [32]

The answer is; A

Airports are usually controlled by governments because they are the points of entry and exit into a country and therefore should have enough security and customs. The vulnerability of the industry also from factors such as terrorism and weather requires that the government regulates the industry to protect the country's interests.

Well you could see it's physical properties have the same descriptions corresponding to a liquid. (Sorry if this doesn't help you..)

The Force Of Gravity Acting On A Childs Mass On Earth Is 490 newtons whats the childs mass
Flauer [41]
Force of gravity on an object is the weight of the object and is given by mass times accerelation due to gravity. The accerelation due to gravity is the accerelation of an object in free fall and is given by 9.8m/s^2. Given that the force of gravity acting on a child's mass on earth is 490 newtns, i.e. F = mg which means that 490 newtons = 9.8 times mass. Therefore, mass of the child is 490 / 9.8 = 50 kg.
