Answer: a) 60m/s b) 360m c) 180m

Explanation:

Projectile motion occurs when an object launched into space falls freely under the influence of gravity.

If the time of flight (T) = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the velocity of the object

theta is the angle at which the object was thrown

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given T = 6 seconds

theta= 90°(object launched upwards)

g = 10m/s²

U= ?

Substituting in the formula we have;

6 = Usin90°/10

60 = Usin90°

since sin90° = 1

U = 60m/s

The balls initial velocity is 60m/s.

b) Maximum Height reached (H) = U²sin²theta/g

Given U = 60m/s, theta = 90° g = 10m/s²

H = 60²(sin90°)²/10

H = 3600/10

H = 360m.

The maximum height reached is 360m

c) at maximum height, v = 0

Using v² = u² - 2gh

0 = 60² - 2(10)h

-3600 = -20h

h = 3600/20

h = 180m

The cliff is 180m tall

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

In the absence of air resistance, at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 de
snow_tiger [21]

As we know that range of the projectile motion is given by

R = \frac{v^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}

here we know that range will be same for two different angles

so here we can say the two angle must be complementary angles

so the two angles must be

\theta, 90 - \theta

so it is given that one of the projection angle is 75 degree

so other angle for same range must be 90 - 75 = 15 degree

so other projection angle must be 15 degree
