The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Physics
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

What is 8200 N/m2 expressed in kilopascals?
natima [27]
The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
1 Pa = 1 N/m^2

We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
8200 N/m^2 = 8200 Pa

And since 1 Pa = 10^{-3}kPa, we have
8200 Pa = 8200 \cdot 10^{-3}kPa =8.2 kPa

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?
sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph
