Answer:

Answer:

71.6°

Explanation:

According to the diagram

ED = 6 feet

DA = EB = 3 feet

AC = 15 feet

AB = ED = 6 feet

BC = AC - AB = 15 - 6 = 9 feet

Let the angle is θ from the horizontal

By the triangle EBC

tanθ = BC / EB = 9 / 3

tanθ = 3

θ = 71.6°

Thus, the angle from the horizontal is 71.6°.

A tennis player strikes a tennis ball from underneath with her racket. The ball is sent straight up with an initial velocity of
Stels [109]
So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s so that’s how quickly it will accelerate downwards. You can use a kinematic equation to determine your answer. We know that initial velocity was 19 m/s, final velocity must be 0 m/s because it’s at the very top, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s. You can then use this equation:

Vf^2=Vo^2+2ax

Plugging in values:

361=19.6x

If V has a magnitude of 14 units and the same direction qs a vector 3i+6j+2k find v​
melomori [17]

Answer:

v = 6i + 12j + 4k

Explanation:

Find the magnitude of the direction vector.

√(3² + 6² + 2²) = 7

Normalize the direction vector.

3/7 i + 6/7 j + 2/7 k

Multiply by the magnitude of v.

v = 14 (3/7 i + 6/7 j + 2/7 k)

v = 6i + 12j + 4k

If a net force applied to an object is equal to zero, then the forces that are acting on an object are considered.
hjlf

Answer:

The mass will accelerate. Balanced Forces: When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. A plane will fly at constant velocity if the acceleration is zero.

A vehicle starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5 m/s2 within 2
likoan [24]

Answer:

When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.

The formula is,

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:

a = (v-u) \ t

The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.

The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2
