Solution:

According to the equations for 1-D kinematics. The only change to them is that instead one equation that describes general motion.

So we will have to use the equations twice: once for motion in the x direction and another time for the y direction.  

v_f=v_o + at ……..(a)

 [where v_f and v_o are final velocity and initial velocity, respectively]

Now ,

Initially, there was y velocity, however gravity began to act on the football, causing it to accelerate.  

Applying this value in equation (a)  

v_yf = at = -9.81 m/s^s * 1.75 = -17.165 m/s in the y direction  

For calculating the magnitude of the equation we have to square root the given value

         (16.6i - 17.165y)  

\\ \left | V  \right |=sqrt{16.6^{2}+17.165^{2}}\\ = \sqrt{275.56+294.637225}\\= \sqrt{570.197225}\\= 23.87[/tex]

The football's speed, at any period of time, is given by v= \sqrt{(16.6)^2 + (9.81 \cdot t)^2}.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

It seems some information is missing on the question, however we will try to answer the question the best as possible. Assuming that the football is thrown horizontally, let's say, from the edge of a cliff, then the football would be in what is called a "free fall". Free falling objects are those in which the only force which acts upon those bodies is gravity.

As the football falls, it gains velocity in the vertical direction (since gravity keeps pushing the object down), while its horizontal velocity remains constant (since we are ignoring air resistance, which is a very logical assumption). We can write this in equations as:

v_x = 16.6

v_y = -9.81 \cdot t

Where v_x and v_y are the horizontal and vertical velocities respectively. Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector, and we can compute it in the following way:

V(t)= \sqrt{(v_x)^2 + (v_y)^2} =\sqrt{(16.6)^2 + (9.81 \cdot t)^2}

The above expression is useful since allows us to compute the speed of the object at any time, let's compare the velocity of the object at 1, 2, and 3 seconds:

V(1)= \sqrt{(16.6)^2 + (9.81 \cdot 1)^2} = 19.28 <em>m/s</em>

V(2)=\sqrt{(16.6)^2 + (9.81 \cdot 2)^2} = 25.7 <em>m/s</em>

V(3)= \sqrt{(16.6)^2 + (9.81 \cdot 3)^2}= 33.79 <em>m/s</em>

We can see that the football's speed increases as time passes... at least until it hits something along the way.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

option (b) 4900 N

Explanation:

m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R

F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2

F = G Me x m / 2R^2

F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2

F = 4900 N

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equilibrium mechanism for the reversible acid is catalyzed by the isomerization of non conjugated β, γ- unsaturated ketones, like 3-cyclohexanone to their conjugated α, I²- unsaturated isomers.

Oxygen of the Carbonyl group in the ketone is protonated by the acid and this is followed by the abstraction of an α- hydrogen from the protonated 3-cyclo hexanone to yield ethanol

2-cyclo hexanone can be obtained by acid catalyzation of 3-cyclohexanone isomers through the formation of it's "enol".
