Can someone please explain to me why the net force of the ball changes in the Y direction and not the X Direction? I made little

diagram of how I think it should look. It's not making any sense to me.

Whenever an object is in projectile motion, that is, it has 2-dimensional motion in the x and y axis, the resultant force on the object is in the y-direction.
This is because once the object has been projected, or the ball has been kicked in this case, there is no longer a force being applied on it in the x-direction. The air resistance is also neglected so the ball's final velocity in the x-direction is equal to its initial velocity in the x-direction.
However, the force of gravity cannot be neglected and causes the ball to come downwards. Therefore, after the ball has been projected, the net force on the ball is downwards, due to gravity.

Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.
Snezhnost [94]

 

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

A student examines a 20-meter long rectangular stream channel and takes the following measurements: width of stream = 4 meters,
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The discharge of the stream at this location is 40 cubic meters per second.

Explanation:

The discharge is the volume flow rate of the water in the stream. For this purpose we can use the following formula:

Discharge = Volume Flow Rate = (Cross-Sectional Area)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (Width of Stream)(Depth of Stream)(Velocity of Stream)

Volume Flow Rate = (4 meters)(2 meters)(5 meters per second)

<u>Volume Flow Rate = 40 cubic meters per second</u>

Therefore, the discharge of the stream at this location is found to be <u>40 cubic meters per second</u>

This result shows that 40 cubic meters volume of water passes or discharges through this point in a time of one second. Hence, this is called the volume flow rate or the discharge of the stream.

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm

Now for mirror we know that \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

So \frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}

16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025

Light bulb 1 operates with a filament temperature of 2700 K whereas light bulb 2 has a filament temperature of 2100 K. Both fila
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

0.3659

Explanation:

The power (p) is given as:

P = AeσT⁴

where,

A =Area

e = transmittivity

σ = Stefan-boltzmann constant

T = Temperature

since both the bulbs radiate same power

P₁ = P₂

Where, 1 denotes the bulb 1

2 denotes the bulb 2

thus,

A₁e₁σT₁⁴ = A₂e₂σT₂⁴

Now e₁=e₂

⇒A₁T₁⁴ = A₂T₂⁴

or

\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}}

substituting the values in the above question we get

\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{2100_{2}^{4}}{2700_{1}^{4}}

or

\frac{A_1}{A_2} }=0.3659
