Answer: C) At the maximum height, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other.

Explanation: At the maximum height the ball stops going up and starts going down. Then, there is a given time at with the velocity of the ball (in the y-axis) is equal to zero.

And as you may know, every lifted object is pulled down by the gravitational force, thie means that the ball is accelerated when it is in the air, so the acceleration is not zero at the maximum height.

Here remember that the player kicked the ball in a given direction, so the ball has a compoent of velocity in the y-axis (that is zero at the point of maximum height) and a component in the x-axis.

Then, at maximum height the velocity is only in the x-direction, and the acceleration is pointing down (in the negative y-direction) so at this point the acceleration and the velocity are perpendiculars.

At position of maximum height we know that the vertical component of its velocity will become zero

so the object will have only horizontal component of velocity

so at that instant the motion of object is along x direction

while if we check the acceleration of object then it is due to gravity

so the acceleration of object is vertically downwards

so it is along y axis

so here these two physical quantities are perpendicular to each other

so correct answer would be

<em>C)At the maximum height, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other. </em>

Anna drives north at a speed of 50 km/h for the first hour. Then, she drives north for a second hour but slows down to 30 km/h.
8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is A The distance is greater in the first hour because her speed is faster.

Explanation:

During the first hour, Anna is driving at a speed of 50 km/h. During the second hour, she is only driving at a speed of 30 km/h. The faster she goes, the farther she will go.

Hope this helps,

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro
Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}

T_y = ncosA = mg

Dividing both.

tan A = \frac{v^2}{rg}

tan A = \frac{11.7^2}{50*9.8}

A = tan^{-1} (0.279367)

A = 15.608\°

Therefore the angle that should the curve be banked is 15.608°

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
