Answer:

The initial velocity is 16 m/s

Explanation:

The position of the ball at a time t is given by the following vector:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0x = initial horizontal velocity

t = time

y0 = initial vertical position

v0y = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)

When the ball reaches the ground its position vector will be "r final" (see attached figure). The x-component of this vector is 70 m and the y-component is -90 m. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the throwing point (y0 and x0 = 0).  Then, we can use the equations for the x and y-component of "r" to obtain the time of flight and the initial velocity:

Using the equation for the y-component of the vector position:

y = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²        (y0 and v0y = 0)

-90 m = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

-2 · -90 m/ 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 4.3 s

Using the equation for the x-component of the vector position:

x = x0 + v0x · t

70 m = v0x · 4.3 s

v0x = 16 m/s

The initial velocity is 16 m/s

The terminals of a 0.70 Vwatch battery are connected by a 80.0-m-long gold wire with a diameter of 0.200 mm What is the current
Komok [63]

Answer:

I=0.047A

Explanation:

Let's use Ohm's law:

V=IR  

or

I=\frac{V}{R}   (1)

Where:

V=Voltage\\I=Current\\R=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}Resistance

We know the value of the voltage V, so we need to find the value of R in order to find I. Fortunately there is a relation between the resistivity of a conductor and its electrical resistance given by:

R=\rho*\frac{l}{A}    (2)

Where:

R=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}Resistance\\l=Length\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}conductor=80m\\A=Cross\hspace{2 mm}sectional\hspace{2 mm}area\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}conductor=1.256637061*10^{-7} \\\rho=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}resistivity\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}material=2.35*10^{-8}

Keep in mind that the electrical resistivity of the gold is a known constant which is \rho_g_o_l_d=2.35*10^{-8} and the cross sectional area of the conductor is calculated as:

A=\pi *(r^{2})=\pi  *(0.0002m)^{2} =1.256637061*10^{-7} m^{2}

Because we have a wire in this case, so we assume a cylindrical geometry.

Now replacing our data in (2)

R=(2.35*10^{-8})*\frac{80}{1.256637061*10^{-7} }  =14.96056465\Omega

Finally, we know R and V, so replacing these values in (1) we will be able to find the current:

I=\frac{0.7}{14.96056465}\approx0.047A

Answer:

Without plants producing oxygen, no creatures would be able to breath and would thus die off. With no creatures breathing, and thus producing no carbon dioxide, plants would starve off and die since they require carbon dioxide to live.

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: The gravitational force Fg exerted on the orbit by the planet is Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2

Explanation:

Gravitational Force Fg = GMm/r2----1

Where G is gravitational constant

M Mass of the planet, m mass of the orbit and r is the distance between the masses.

Since the circular orbit move around the planet, it means they do not touch each other.

The distance between two points on the circumference of the two massesb is given by d, while the distance from the radius of each mass to the circumferences are R1 and R2 from the question.

Total distance r= (R1 + d + R2)^2---2

Recall, density rho =

Mass M/Volume V

Hence, mass of planet = rho × V

But volume of a sphere is 4/3πr3

Therefore,

Mass M of planet = rho × 4/3πr3

=4/3πr3rho in kg

From equation 1 and 2

Fg = G 4/3πr3rhom/ (R1 + d+ R2)^2
