A projectile is launched upward at an angle of 70⁰ from the horizontal and strikes the ground a certain distance down range. For

Answer:20°

Explanation:

Recall

Range R of a projectile is given by U^2sin2A/g

We're U = velocity,A= angle of projection and g is acceleration due to gravity

From the question the range R are the same

Hence R1=R2

U1^2sin2A/g=U2^2sin2B/g

But U1=U2 and g=g

Hence sin2A=sin 2B

Sin 2*70= sin2*B

0.6427=sin2B

B=sin inverse(0.6427)=40/2=20°

Suppose a small planet is discovered that is 16 times as far from the Sun as the Earth's distance is from the Sun. Use Kepler's
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

23376 days

Explanation:

The problem can be solved using Kepler's third law of planetary motion which states that the square of the period T of a planet round the sun is directly proportional to the cube of its mean distance R from the sun.

T^2\alpha R^3\\T^2=kR^3.......................(1)

where k is a constant.

From equation (1) we can deduce that the ratio of the square of the period of a planet to the cube of its mean distance from the sun is a constant.

\frac{T^2}{R^3}=k.......................(2)

Let the orbital period of the earth be T_e and its mean distance of from the sun be R_e.

Also let the orbital period of the planet be T_p and its mean distance from the sun be R_p.

Equation (2) therefore implies the following;

\frac{T_e^2}{R_e^3}=\frac{T_p^2}{R_p^3}....................(3)

We make the period of the planet T_p the subject of formula as follows;

T_p^2=\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2R_p^3}{R_e^3}\\}................(4)

But recall that from the problem stated, the mean distance of the planet from the sun is 16 times that of the earth, so therefore

R_p=16R_e...............(5)

Substituting equation (5) into (4), we obtain the following;

T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2(16R_e)^3}{(R_e^3}\\}\\T_p=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^24096R_e^3}{R_e^3}\\}

R_e^3 cancels out and we are left with the following;

T_p=\sqrt{4096T_e^2}\\T_p=64T_e..............(6)

Recall that the orbital period of the earth is about 365.25 days, hence;

T_p=64*365.25\\T_p=23376days

How does nuclear fusion produce energy
prisoha [69]
The fusion reaction that is easiest to accomplish is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium, extracted from water and tritium, produced during the fusion reaction through contact with lithium. When deuterium and tritium nuclei fuse, they form a helium nucleus, a neutron and a lot of energy.

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).
