Answer:

The height of the hill is, h = 38.42 m

Explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the soccer ball, Vx = 15 m/s

The range of the soccer ball, s = 42 m

The projectile projected from a height is given by the formula

S = Vx [Vy + √(Vy² + 2gh)] / g

Therefore,

h = S²g/2Vx² (Since Vy = 0)

Substituting the values

h = 42² x 9.8/ (2 x 15²)

= 38.42 m

Hence, the height of the hill is, h = 38.42 m

Starting from rest, a 6.79 kg block slides 2.82 m down a rough 20.7 ◦ incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the b

Veronika [31]

Answer:

23.52092 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 6.79 kg

s = Sliding distance = 2.82 m

$\theta$ = Angle of slide = 20.7°

$\mu$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.425

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Work done by the force of gravity is given by

$W=mgsin\theta\\\Rightarrow W=6.79\times 9.8\times sin20.7\\\Rightarrow W=23.52092\ J$

The work done by the force of gravity is 23.52092 J

Water has the ability to dissolve polar covalent molecules like sucrose by

Alla [95]

Explanation:

Sucrose is a disaccharide which is composed of fructose and glucose. Sucrose molecule has oxygen atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms (O-H bonds - Polar groups) on all ends of its double 6-Carbon ring. The areas near the oxygen atoms are slightly negative, and the areas near the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive that is, the O-H bonds are polar. They bond with the neighbouring Oxygen and Hydrogen atoms because of their

dipole - dipole attractions and hence hydrogen bonds are formed.

However, the covalent bonds within the molecule aren't broken. But rather, the hydrogen bonds holding the sucrose molecules in the crystalline lattice.

You drop a batitin a stationary elevator and the ball hits the floor in o 50 s. How long does it take for the ball to hit the fl

solmaris [256]

Answer:

option (a) 0.61 s

Explanation:

Given;

Time taken by the ball to reach the ground = 0.50 s

Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground

from the Newton's equation of motion, we have

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s is the distance

a is the acceleration

t is the time

here it is the case of free fall

thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity

u = initial speed of the ball = 0

on substituting the values, we get

$s=0\times 0.50+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8\times0.50^2$

s = 1.225 m

Now,

when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s

the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)

thus , we have

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.225=-1.0\times\ t+\frac{1}{2}\times9.8t^2$

4.9t^2 - t - 1.225 = 0

t = 0.612 s

hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s
