<u>We are given:</u>

the initial height of the object (h) = 100 m

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

we will let the value of g = 10 m/s/s

<u>Speed of the object just before hitting the ground:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2ah (where v is the final velocity)

replacing the variables, we get:

v² - (0)² = 2(10)(100)

v² = 2000

v = 10√20 = 44.7 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the object just before hitting the ground is 44.7 m/s

A particle covers 10m distance in 2sec. if final velocity is 8m/s, find initial velocity

klasskru [66]

Explanation:

It is given that a particle covers 10m in first 5s and 10m in next 3s. so using the equation of motion

Case I

s=ut+

10=5u+

a(5)

20=10u+25a

4=2u+5a..............(1)

Case 2

In next 3s the particle covers more 10m distance. So

20=8u+

a(8)

5=2u+8a.........(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2)

4=2u+5a

5=2u+8a

m/s

Put the value of a in equation (1)

m/s

Now to find distance in next 10 s. total time will be 10s

×10+

×(10)

s=28.33m

Distance travelled in next 2 sec

s=28.33−20=8.33m

A ball of radius R and mass m is magically put inside a thin shell of the same mass and radius 2R. The system is at rest on a ho

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius $= 2R$

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

$xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x$

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Therefore the enclosing layer moves $x =\frac{-R}{2}$

The number of outer shell electrons determines the chemical properties of an element?

Ivan

Yes, it is true to a certain that the number of outer shell electrons determines the chemical properties of an element, only because this determines how the element interacts with other elements.

two engines are turned on for 763 s at a moment when the velocity of the craft has x and y components of v0x = 6380 m/s and v0y

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity component of engines is

$v_0_x=6380 m/s$

$v_0_y=6770 m/s$

time period of engine running=763 s

Displacement in $x=4.50\times 10^6$

$y=7.27\times 10^6$

Using $s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}$ in x and y direction

$x=v_0_x\times t+\frac{at^2}{2}$

$4.50\times 10^6=6380\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}$

$4.50\times 10^6-4.86\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}$

$a=-1.23 m/s^2$

In y direction

$y=v_0_y\times t+\frac{a't^2}{2}$

$7.27\times 10^6=6770\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}$

$7.27\times 10^6-5.16\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}$

$a=7.24 m/s^2$

x component $=-1.23 m/s^2$

y component $=7.24 m/s^2$
