A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.05 m/s. If the roof is pitched at

40.0° below the horizon and the roof edge is 4.50 m above the ground, find the time the baseball spends in the air and the horizontal distance from the roof edge to the point where the baseball lands on the ground.

1) Time in the air: 0.78 s

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A horizontal motion with constant horizontal velocity

- A vertical motion with constant downward acceleration of

g=-9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity)

The initial vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (3.05)(sin(-40^{\circ}))=-1.96 m/s

where the negative sign means the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the ball is given by

y(t) = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 4.50 m is the initial heigth of the ball when it starts falling down

The ball reaches the ground when y = 0, so we have:

0 = 4.50 -1.96t-4.9t^2

This is a second-order equation; solving for t, we get

t = -1.18 s

t = 0.78 s

We discard the negative solution since it has no physical meaning, so we can say that the ball spent 0.78 s in the air.

2) Horizontal distance: 1.83 m

For this second part of the problem, we just have to consider the horizontal motion of the ball.

As we said previously, the motion of the ball along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion with constant velocity, which is given by

v_x = u cos \theta = (3.05)(cos (-40.0^{\circ}))=2.34 m/s

where u = 3.05 m/s is the initial speed and \theta the angle of projection.

For a uniform motion, we can use the following relationship between distance covered and velocity:

d=v_x t

and substituting t = 0.78 s, we find the total distance travelled along the horizontal direction by the ball before reaching the ground:

d=(2.34)(0.78)=1.83 m

What happens when you change the number of electrons in an atom
aalyn [17]
<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.

Can you answer these 2 ?
vredina [299]

Answer:

1. 38,500

2. 308,000

Explanation:

This would require a calculator. To find momentum, you multiply mass and velocity. You always want your mass to be measure in kilograms, but that is irrelevant in this question because they already are, it is just something to remember.

Which statement is true regarding a distance vs. time graph? (1 point)
Nadusha1986 [10]

The statement that is true regarding a distance vs. time graph is option A: The graph should show distance on the vertical axis.

<h3>Where is the plot of distance?</h3>

How far an object has come in a certain amount of time is displayed on a distance-time graph. Time is represented on the X-axis and Distance is plotted on the Y-axis (left) (bottom).

On a distance-time graph, an object's motion is indicated by a sloping line. The slope or gradient of the line in a distance-time graph is equal to the object's speed. The object is travelling more quickly the steeper the line is (and the bigger the gradient).

Note that the distance-time graph shows the relationship between distance and time by plotting distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
