Answer:

54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees

Explanation:

If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.

Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s

Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s

SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.

Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m

If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall

V(t2) = -25 m/s

Y(t2) = 45.4 m

So:

45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

-25 = Vy0 + a * t2

Then:

Vy0 = -25 - a * t2

So:

45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2

a = -9.81 m/s^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2

Solving this quadratic equation we get:

t1 = -1.39 s

t2 = 6.5 s

Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.

Now we can obtain Vy0:

Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s

Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s

By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:

V0 = \sqrt{Vx0^2 + Vy0^2} = \sqrt{38.9^2 + 38.76^2} = 54.9 m/s

The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90

a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees

A 150 kg car hits a wall with 45 N of force, what was its acceleration?​
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a = 0.3 m/s²

Explanation:

Given: 45 N, 150 kg

To find: a

Formula: a = \frac{F}{m}

Solution: To find a, divide the force by the weight  

A = F ÷ m

=  45 ÷  150

= 0.3 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.

Is this true or false ethics deals with morals and values and can be measured and tested using the scientific method.
sammy [17]

This is false. Even though the first part is true, the second isn't because morals and values are simply widely accepted opinions that most humans have, and you can't test opinions with the scientific method, only facts!

E<br> 3.6 What force is needed to give a mass of<br> 20 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s??
luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

  • Mass(m)= 20kg
  • Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
  • Force(F)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • F=20×5
  • F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.
