Answer:

t=12.25\ seconds

Explanation:

<u>Diagonal Launch </u>

It's referred to as a situation where an object is thrown in free air forming an angle with the horizontal. The object then describes a known path called a parabola, where there are x and y components of the speed, displacement, and acceleration.

The object will eventually reach its maximum height (apex) and then it will return to the height from which it was launched. The equation for the height at any time t is

x=v_ocos\theta t

\displaystyle y=y_o+v_osin\theta \ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where vo is the magnitude of the initial velocity, \theta is the angle, t is the time and g is the acceleration of gravity

The maximum height the object can reach can be computed as

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_osin\theta}{g}

There are two times where the value of y is y_o when t=0 (at launching time) and when it goes back to the same level. We need to find that time t by making y=y_o

\displaystyle y_o=y_o+v_osin\theta\ t-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Removing y_o and dividing by t (t different of zero)

\displaystyle 0=v_osin\theta-\frac{gt}{2}

Then we find the total flight as

\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_osin\theta}{g}

We can easily note the total time (hang time) is twice the maximum (apex) time, so the required time is

\boxed{t=24.5/2=12.25\ seconds}

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:  We have seasons because Earth's axis – the imaginary line that goes through the Earth and around which the Earth spins — is tilted. It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space. Our northern axis points almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star.

Which acceleration-time graph corresponds to the motion of the car if it moves toward the right, while slowing down at a steady
Bumek [7]

We define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity

Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your <u>speed increases.</u>

If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, your speed decreases.

Now you get the idea, we will see that the correct option is graph 1.

We know that the car moves towards the right (let's define this as "the car has positive velocity") and we also know that te car is slowing down constantly (thus the acceleration needs to be negative and constant).

By looking at the graphs, the only one with these properties is graph 1.

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

Plane a travels at 900km/h and plane b travels at 250/5.which plane travels faster
vesna_86 [32]

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of plane a is 900 km/h

Plane b is moving at a rate of \dfrac{250\ km}{5\ h}=50\ km/h

It is required to find which plane is faster. To find which plane is faster, we need to compare their speeds.

Speed of a plane a is 900 km/h and that of plane b is 50 km/h. So, we can say that plane a is moving faster.
