Answer:

The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Explanation:

A ball is thrown horizontally

That means the vertical component of the initial velocity u_{y}=0

The initial velocity is the horizontal component u_{x}

The ball is thrown from the top of a 60 m

That means the vertical displacement component y = 60 m

→ y = u_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} gt²

where g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time

y = -60 m , g = -9.8 m/s² , u_{y}=0

Substitute these values in the rule

→ -60 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (-9.8)t²

→ -60 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ 12.2449 = t²

Take √ for both sides

∴ t = 3.5 seconds

* <em>The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds </em>

The initial velocity is the horizontal component u_{x}

The ball lands 100 meter from the base of the building

That means the horizontal displacement x = 100 m

→ x = u_{x} t

→ t = 3.5 s , x = 100 m

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 100 = u_{x} (3.5)

Divide both sides by 3.5

→ u_{x} = 28.57 m/s

<em>The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s</em>

The vertical component of the final velocity is v_{y}

→ v_{y} = u_{y} + gt

→ u_{y} = 0 , g = -9.8 m/s² , t = 3.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ v_{y} = 0 + (-9.8)(3.5)

→ v_{y} = -34.3 m/s

<em>The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward</em>

The final velocity v is the resultant vector of  v_{x} and v_{y}

→ Its magnetude is v=\sqrt{(v_{x})^{2}+(v_{y})^{2}}

→ Its direction tan^{-1}\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}

→ v_{y} = 28.6 , v_{y} = -34.3

Substitute this values in the rules above

→ v=\sqrt{(28.6)^{2}+(-34.3)^{2}}=44.66

→ Its direction tan^{-1}\frac{-34.3}{28.6}=-50.18

The negative sign means the direction is below the horizontal

<em>The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal</em>

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s
