Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

0=v_i^2+2ah

or

h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}

which for our values is:

h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m

A ball is thrown with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 40o above the horizontal from the top of a 22-m tall building.
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

(a). The distance is  49.79 m.

(b). The speed of the ball is 24.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 20 m/s

Angle = 40°

Height = 22 m

Time = 3.25 sec

(a). We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

d=u\cos\theta\times t

Put the value into the formula

d=20\cos40\times3.25

d=49.79\ m

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of velocity

v_{x}=u\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

v_{x}=20\times\cos40

v_{x}=15.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using equation of motion

v_{y}=u\sin\theta-gt

Put the value into the formula

v_{y}=20\sin40-9.8\times3.25

v_{y}=-19\ m/s

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

We need to calculate the speed of ball

Using formula of speed

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}

v=\sqrt{(15.3)^2+(19)^2}

v=24.39\ m/s

Hence, (a). The distance is  49.79 m.

(b). The speed of the ball is 24.39 m/s.

A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 10^3 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?
VLD [36.1K]
The initial kinetic energy of the car is
E_1 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 =  1.9 \cdot 10^3 J

Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half: v_2 =  \frac{v_1}{2}
so, the new kinetic energy is
E_2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_2 ^2 =  \frac{1}{2} m ( \frac{v_1}{2} )^2= \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_1^2}{4}= \frac{E_1}{4}
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
E_2 =  \frac{1.9 \cdot 10^3 J}{4}=475 J

When water changes into vapor this is called?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When water changes into vapor, it is called evaporation.  BONUS:  This is formed by the boiling point of water, which is 230°F (Fahrenheit) or 110°C (Celsius).
