The x- and y-coordinates are 9142.57 m and -304.425 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the motion of the shell is in a plane (two dimensional space) and the acceleration is that due to gravity which is vertically downward, we resolve initial velocity of the shell v_{0} in horizontal and vertical directions. If the initial velocity of the shell is making angle with the horizontal, the horizontal component of initial velocity will be

                v_{x}=v_{0} \times \cos \theta

As the acceleration of the shell is vertical having no horizontal component, the shell may be considered to move horizontally with constant velocity of v_{x} and hence the horizontal distance covered (or the x coordinate of the shell with point of projection as origin) is given by

           v_{x}=v_{o} \times \cos \theta=300 \times \cos \left(52^{\circ}\right)=184.69 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

           v_{y}=v_{o} \times \sin \theta==300 \times \sin \left(52^{\circ}\right)=236.4 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

For motion with constant acceleration, we know

            s=s_{0}+v_{0} t+\left(\frac{(1)}{2}\right) a t^{2}

Along the horizontal, x-axis, we might write this as

            x=x_{0}+v_{x 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{x} t^{2}

Measuring distances relative to the firing point means

               x_{0}=0

we know that,

              a_{x}=0

or,

             v_{x}=v_{x 0}=\text { constant }

By applying the values, we get,

           x=0+(184.69 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times 0 \times(49.5)^{2}\right)=9142.57 \mathrm{m}

The acceleration of gravity is vertically downward and is g=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} , hence the vertical distance covered (or y coordinate of the shell) is given by the second equation of motion

           y=y_{0}+v_{y 0} t+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) a_{y} t^{2}

we know, y_{0}=0 and a_{y}=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}, so,

          y=0+(236.4 \times 49.5)+\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times(-9.8) \times(49.5)^{2}\right)

                 y = 11701.8 - 4.9(2450.25)= 11701.8 - 12006.225 = - 304.425 m

What is the acceleration of Karla's I Phone being thrown from Mr. Higley's classroom at 0m/s if it hits the wall 1.2 seconds lat
blagie [28]

The acceleration of Karla's I IPhone being thrown from Mr. Higley's classroom at 0 m/s will be 29.16 m/s²

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The rate of velocity change concerning time is known as acceleration. According to Newton's second law, the eventual effect of all forces applied to a body is its acceleration.

The pace at which a body's velocity varies is represented by acceleration, which is a vector quantity.

The given data in the problem is given by ;

u is the initial speed =  0 m/sec

v is the final speed= 35  m/sec

t is the time interval= 1.2 second

a is the acceleration=? m/sec²

The formula for acceleration is;

\rm a=\frac{v-u}{t} \\\\ a= \frac{35-0}{1.2} \\\\ a= 29.16 \ m./s^2

Hence, the acceleration of Karla's iPhone being thrown from Mr. Higley's classroom at 0 m/s will be 29.16 m/s²

A 50-g chunk of 80 degrees C iron is dropped into a cavity in a very large block of ice at 0 degrees C. Show that 5.5 g of ice w
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

Explanation:

The concept to solve this problem is given by Energy Transferred, the equation is given by,

Q = mc\Delta T

Where,

Q= Energy transferred

m = mass of water

c = specific heat capacity

\Delta T = Temperature change (K or °C)

Replacing the values where mass is 50g and temperature is 80°C to 0°C we have,

Q = mc\Delta T

Q = 50*0.11*(80-0)

Q = 440cal

Then we can calculate the heat absorbed by m grams of ice at 0°C, then

Q_2 = mL = 80*m

How Q_1=Q_2, so

80m=440

m=\frac{440}{80}

m = 5.5g

Then 5.5g of ice melts when a 50g chunk of iron at 80°C is dropped into a cavity

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

170 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = VI.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power generated in watt, V = Voltage supplied to the circuit, I = Current running through the circuit.

From the question,

Given: V = 17 V, I = 10 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (17×10)

P = 170 Watt.

Hence the power generated is 170 W.

The right option is A. 170 W
