One strategy in a snowball fight is to throw a snowball at a high angle over level ground. While your opponent is watching the f

irst one, a second snowball is thrown at a low angle timed to arrive before or at the same time as the first one. Assume both snowballs are thrown with a speed of 20.0 m/s. The first one is thrown at an angle of 75.0° with respect to the horizontal. (a) at what angle should the second snowball be thrown to arrive at the same point as the first? (b) How many seconds later should the second snowball be thrown after the first to arrive at the same time?

Answer:

Part a)

\theta_2 = 15 degree

Part b)

\Delta t = 2.88 s

Explanation:

Part a)

In order to have same range for same initial speed we can say

R_1 = R_2

\frac{v^2 sin2\theta_1}{g} = \frac{v^2 sin2\theta_2}{g}

so after comparing above we will have

\theta_1 = 90 - \theta

so we have

75 = 90 - \theta_2

\theta_2 = 15 degree

Part b)

Time of flight for the first ball is given as

T_1 = \frac{2vsin\theta}{g}

T_1 = \frac{2(20)sin75}{9.81}

T_1 = 3.94 s

Now for other angle of projection time is given as

T_2 = \frac{2(20)sin15}{9.81}

T_2 = 1.05 s

So here the time lag between two is given as

\Delta t = T_1 - T_2

\Delta t = 3.94 - 1.05

\Delta t = 2.88 s

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla
BlackZzzverrR [31]
  <span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation: 
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

A student releases a marble from the top of a ramp. The marble increases
Fed [463]

Answer:

Vf = 69.56 cm/s

Explanation:

In order to find the final speed of the ramp, we will use the equations of motion. First we use second equation of motion to find out the acceleration of marble:

s = Vi t + (1/2)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = 160 cm

Vi = Initial Speed = 0 cm/s (since, marble starts from rest)

t = time interval = 4.6 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

160 cm = (0 cm/s)(4.6 s) + (1/2)(a)(4.6 s)²

a = (320 cm)/(4.6 s)²

a = 15.12 cm/s²

Now, we use first equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 cm/s + (15.12 cm/s²)(4.6 s)

<u>Vf = 69.56 cm/s</u>
