Answer:

height of house to ladder reach is 14 ft

Explanation:

Given data

ladder = 15 ft

base  = 4 ft

to find out

height of house

solution

we know this is triangle shape so we apply here

so we consider here x is ladder and y is base and z is height

so

by pythagoras theorem

z² + y² = x²

so here

z² = x² -y²

put value

z² = 15² - 4²

z² = 209

z = 14.45 = 14

so height of house to ladder reach is 14 ft

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.3 m/s, directed at an angle of 60° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
erica [24]

Answer:

y maximum   3.54 m, value X  2.35 m

Explanation:

We have a projectile launch problem, let's calculate the maximum height of the projectile, where the vertical speed must be zero

                     

        Vyf² = Vyo² - 2g (Y-Yo)

Where Yo is the initial height of the ramp 1.5 m

        0 = Vyo² -2g (Y-Yo)

        Y-Yo = Voy² / 2g

       Y = Yo + Voy² / 2g

Let's calculate the velocity components using trigonometry

       Voy = vo without T

       Vox = Vo cost

       Voy = 7.3 sin 60

       Vox = 7.3 cos 60

       Voy = 6.32 m / s

       Vox = 3.65 m / s

Let's calculate the maximum height

         Y = 1.5 +6.32²/2 9.8

          Y = 3.54 m

This is the maximum height from the ground

b) They ask us for the position of this point horizontally, we can calculate it looking for the time it took for the skateboarder to reach the highest point

                             

          Vfy = Voy - gt

          0 = Voy - gt

           t = Voy / g

           t = 6.32 / 9.8

           t = 0.645 s

     

Since there is no acceleration on the x-axis, we have a uniform movement, we can calculate the distance for this time

          X = Vox t

          X = 3.65 0.645

          X= 2.35 m

A body of mass m1 = 1.5 kg moving along a directed axis in the positive sense with a velocity
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

3.71 m/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

From collisions in momentum, we can establish the formula required here which is;

m1•u1 + m2•v2 = m1•v1 + m2•v2

Now, we are given;

m1 = 1.5 kg

m2 = 14 kg

u1 = 11 m/s

v1 = -1 m/s (negative due to the negative direction it is approaching)

u2 = -5 m/s (negative due to the negative direction it is moving)

Thus;

(1.5 × 11) + (14 × -5) = (1.5 × -1) + (14 × v2)

This gives;

16.5 - 70 = -1.5 + 14v2

Rearranging, we have;

16.5 + 1.5 - 70 = 14v2

-52 = 14v2

v2 = - 52/14

v2 = 3.71 m/s in the negative direction

State any ten reasons why students in Uganda need to study physics.(use examples of the possible technological advancements whic
Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is "physics ".

Explanation:

Physics is the branch of science that addresses the properties of crystalline and its interaction with the fundamental elements of the universe. It covers subjects ranging in quantum mechanics with extremely little ones with quantum mechanics to the whole cosmos. You must be constant whether you like it or not, thus everyone must learn physics, irrespective of whether they're in Uganda, and plenty of other countries should have physics to dare study.
