Falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. An arrow is shot with a velocity of 11.76 m/s straight down from

the top of a tall castle hitting an armored knight with a downward velocity of 49 m/s. How long was the arrow in flight?

Answer:

3.8 secs

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 $m/s^2$

Initial velocity, u = 11.76 m/s

Final velocity, v = 49 m/s

Using one of Newton's equations of linear motion, we have that:

$v = u + gt$

where t = time of flight of arrow

The sign is positive because the arrow is moving downward, in the same direction as gravitational force.

Therefore:

$49 = 11.76 + 9.8*t\\\\\\\49 - 11.76 = 9.8t\\\\=> 9.8t = 37.24\\\\\\t = \frac{37.24}{9.8} \\\\\\t = 3.8 secs$

The arrow was in flight for 3.8 secs

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a. $1.70\times 10^{20} N$ b. $6.94\times 10^{-3}m/s^2$ c. $2.62\times 10^{-5} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Use Gravitational Force:

$F= G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Use values given to have the results.

b.

$g=\frac{F}{m}$

Use m as the mass of the Moon. Using values of a. and m you have the answer.

c.

$g = \frac{F}{M}$

Use M mass of the planet. Use value of a and Mass of Planet.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: $\lambda =1.304\times 10^4\ m$

Explanation:

Given

frequency of wave $\nu =23\ kHz$

We know velocity is given by

$v=\nu \times \lambda$

where $\lambda$ =wavelength

$\lambda =\frac{velocity}{\nu }$

$\lambda =\frac{3\times 10^8}{23\times 10^3}$

$\lambda =1.304\times 10^4\ m$

From the same height and at the same time one ball is dropped and another ball is fired horizontally which ball has the greater

Pani-rosa [81]

The ball thrown horizontally
The weight of the ball dropped down is a factor in magnitude with gravity playing an important role as well.
On the other hand, the ball thrown horizontally has speed which allows magnitude and gravity playing against it, eventually the ball will hit the ground harder than the one dropped straight down

You heat a 541cm^3 sample of a substance from 133°C to 273°C and find that its volume increases by 2.25 cm^3. Calculate the coef

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$\gamma = 2.97 \times 10^{-5} per ^0 C$

Explanation:

As we know by the theory of expansion the change in the volume of the object is directly proportional to change in temperature and initial volume.

So here we can say

$\Delta V = V_0\gamma \Delta T$

here

$\gamma$ = coefficient of volume expansion

so we have

$\gamma = \frac{\Delta V}{V_0 \Delta T}$

now plug in all values

$\gamma = \frac{2.25 cm^3}{(541 cm^3)(273 - 133)}$

$\gamma = 2.97 \times 10^{-5} per ^0 C$
