A rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.6 m/s at an angle of 37◦ above the hor

izontal. The rock strikes the ground a horizontal distance of 95 m from the base of the building. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Assume: The ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. Neglect air friction. What is the horizontal component of the rock’s velocity when it strikes the ground?

<h2>Horizontal component of the rock’s velocity when it strikes the ground is 17.25 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In horizontal direction there is no acceleration or deceleration for a rock projected at an initial angle of 37° off the ground.

So the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

Horizontal component of velocity is the cosine component of velocity.

Initial velocity, u = 21.6 m/s

Angle, θ = 37°

Horizontal component of velocity = u cosθ

Horizontal component of velocity = 21.6 cos37

Horizontal component of velocity = 17.25 m/s

Since the horizontal velocity is unaffected, we have

    Horizontal component of the rock’s velocity when it strikes the ground = 17.25 m/s

What change occurs to the mass of an object when an unbalanced force is applied to it
strojnjashka [21]
The mass of an object always stays the same since it is really just the amount of matter in an object so no matter the force applied, as long as the object does not lose or gain matter, the object stays the same

1. A uniform magnetic field is directed vertically upwards. In which direction in this field should an alpha particle be project
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

1. Fleming's left hand rule

2. It must be projected towards the east

Explanation:

Fleming's left-hand rule states that; When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow. This rule was first put forward by John Ambrose Fleming in the later part of the nineteenth century.

Hence if the thumb, fore finger and middle finger of the lefthand are held mutually at right angles to each other; the thumb shows the direction of motion, the fore finger shows the direction of the field while the middle finger shows the direction of the current.

Hence, if the alpha particle is projected eastwards(at right angles) to the uniform magnetic field, it will be deflected southwards in the magnetic field.

If a 340 N girl sits on a seesaw and is lifted 1.4 m in 1.6 s, how much work was done by the child on the other side?
blondinia [14]
In physics, work is defined as the total energy when an object is moved to a certain displacement by the application of external force. It is calculated by the expression W = Fd. For this case, the displacement is apparently zero, then there is no work in the system above.
