Vx = 2*cos30 = 1.73m's
Other words:
D = Vo*t = 1.4 * 21 = 31.5m. @ 30 Deg.
Dy = 31.5*sin30 = 15.75 m.

<u>Answer:</u> The horizontal velocity of rover is 1.73 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Horizontal velocity is defined as the velocity of body proceeding in the horizontal direction. This velocity proceeds in the 'x' direction.

Mathematically,

$V_x=V_o\cos \theta$

where,

$V_o$ = constant velocity of rover = 2 m/s

$\cos \theta$ = cosine function of angle 30°

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V_x=2\times \cos (30^o)\\\\V_x=1.73m/s$

Hence, the horizontal velocity of rover is 1.73 m/s

A child kicks a ball horizontally with a speed of 4.8 m/s off a deck 3.5 m off the ground. How far, in meters, from the deck doe

Vesna [10]

Answer:

2.605m

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating Range (distance travelled in horizontal direction)

Range R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 4.8m/s

H is the maximum height = ?

g is the acc due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

R = 3.5m

Substitute into the formula and get H

3.5 = 4.8√2H/9.8

3.5/4.8 = √2H/9.8

0.7292 = √2H/9.8

square both sides

0.7292² = 2H/9.8

2H = 0.7292² * 9.8

2H = 5.21

H = 5.21/2

H = 2.605m

Hence the height of the ball from the ground is 2.605m

A 41.0 g marble moving at 2.30 m/s strikes a 25.0 g marble at rest. What is the speed of each marble immediately after the colli

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

speed of each marble after collision will be 1.728 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the marble $m_1=41gram=0.041kg$

Velocity of marble $v_1=2.30m/sec$

Its collides with other marble of mass 25 gram

So mass of other marble $m_2=25gram=0.025kg$

Second marble is at so $v_2=0m/sec$

We have to find the velocity of second marble

From momentum conservation we know that

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_!+m_2)v$ , here v is common velocity of both marble after collision

So $0.041\times 2.30+0.025\times 0=(0.041+0.025)v$

v = 1.428 m /sec

So speed of each marble after collision will be 1.728 m/sec

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?

AfilCa [17]

Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. at the point where the plane is f

konstantin123 [22]

A) When the plane is flying straight down, there are three forces acting on it:
- the centripetal force $F=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ , directed toward the center of the circle (so, horizontally)
- the weight of the plane: $W=mg$ , downward, so vertically
- a third force, given by the propulsion of the plane, which is accelerating it towards the ground (because the problem says that the plane has an acceleration of a=12 m/s^2 towards the ground)

The radius of the circle is $r= \frac{260 m}{2} = 130 m$ , so the centripetal force acting on the plane is
$F_c=m \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{(85000 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{130 m}=1.98 \cdot 10^6 N$
On the vertical axis, we have two forces: the weight
$W=mg=(85000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=8.34 \cdot 10^5 N$
and the other force F given by the propulsion. Since we know that their sum should generate an acceleration equal to $a=12 m/s^2$ , we can find the magnitude of this other force F by using Newton's second law:
$F+mg=ma$
$F=m(a-g)=(85000kg)(12 m/s^2-9.81 m/s^2)=1.86 \cdot 10^5 N$

So, the net force acting on the plane will be the resultant of the centripetal force (acting in the horizontal direction) and the two forces W and F (acting in the vertical direction):
$R= \sqrt{(F_c^2+(W+F)^2}=$
$= \sqrt{(1.98\cdot 10^6N)^2+(8.34 \cdot 10^5N+1.86 \cdot 10^5 N)^2} =2.23 \cdot 10^6 N$

(b) The tangent of the angle with respect to the horizontal is the ratio between the sum of the forces in the vertical direction (taken with negative sign, since they are directed downward) and the forces acting in the horizontal direction, so:
$\tan \theta = \frac{-(W+F)}{F_c}= -0.5$
And so, the angle is
$\theta = \arctan (-0.5)=-26.8 ^{\circ}$
