Two runners start at the same point on a straight track. The first runs with constant acceleration so that he covers 98 yards in
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

94.13 ft/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = time interval in which the rock hits the opponent = 10 s - 5 s = 5 s
  • s = distance to be moved by the rock long the horizontal = 98 yards
  • y = displacement to be moved by the rock during the time of flight along the vertical = 0 yard

<u>Assume:</u>

  • u = magnitude of initial velocity of the rock
  • \theta = angle of the initial velocity with the horizontal.

For the motion of the rock along the vertical during the time of flight, the rock has a constant acceleration in the vertically downward direction.

\therefore y = u\sin \theta t +\dfrac{1}{2}(-g)t^2\\\Rightarrow 0 = u\sin \theta 5 +\dfrac{1}{2}(-9.8)\times 5^2\\\Rightarrow u\sin \theta 5 =\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)\times 5^2......(1)\\

Now the rock has zero acceleration along the horizontal. This means it has a constant velocity along the horizontal during the time of flight.

\therefore u\cos \theta t = s\\\Rightarrow u\cos \theta 5 = 98.....(2)\\

On dividing equation (1) by (2), we have

\tan \theta = \dfrac{25}{20}\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta = 1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}1.25\\\Rightarrow \theta = 51.34^\circ

Now, putting this value in equation (2), we have

u\cos 51.34^\circ\times  5 = 98\\\Rightarrow u = \dfrac{98}{5\cos 51.34^\circ}\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\ yard/s\\\Rightarrow u =31.38\times 3\ ft/s\\\Rightarrow u =94.13\ ft/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the rock must a magnitude of 94.13 ft/s to hit the opponent exactly at 98 yards.

What is the 4th dimension? I have heard that it's time, it's a from of saying characteristic. I don't know I need help on this,
sashaice [31]

If you want to tell a friend about a fish you caught or a tree you cut down,
you're going to tell him WHERE you were ... its position in space, 3 numbers,
'x', 'y', and 'z' ... and also WHEN you were ... its position in time, one more
number. 

Dimensions are numbers used to describe the location of a point, and the
difference in location between two points.  With four numbers, you can exactly
describe the location of anything, and its distance from any other thing, in
space and time.

The most common isotope of hydrogen contains a proton and an electron 'separated by about -11-27 5.0 x 10 m. The mass of proton
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)   F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N, B)   F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N, C)    \frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.3 10³⁹

Explanation:

A) It is asked to find the force of attraction due to the masses of the particles

Let's use the law of universal attraction

            F = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 6.67 \ 10^{-11} \ \frac{9.1 \ 10^{-31} \ 1.67 \ 10 ^{-27} }{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2 }

            F_g = 4.05 10⁻⁴⁷ N

B) in this part it is asked to calculate the electric force

Let's use Coulomb's law

            F = k \  \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

let's calculate

            F = 9 \ 10^9 \  \frac{(1.6 \ 10^{-19} )^2}{(5 \ 10^{-11})^2}

             F_e = 9.2 10⁻⁸N

C) It is asked to find the relationship between these forces

        \frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{9.2 \ 10^{-8} }{4.05 \ 10^{-47} }

        = 2.3 10³⁹

therefore the electric force is much greater than the gravitational force

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.
MrRissso [65]
You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!
