A projectile is launched vertically at 100 m/s. If air resistance can be ignored, at what speed will it return to its initial le
eduard
<h2>Speed with which it return to its initial level is 100 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 100 m/s  

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²  

Final velocity, v = ?

Displacement, s = 0 m  

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 100² + 2 x -9.81 x 0

v² = 100²

v = ±100 m/s

+100 m/s is initial velocity and -100 m/s is final velocity.

Speed with which it return to its initial level is 100 m/s

The figure shows three displacement vectors, which are
aleksley [76]

Answer:

the correct answer is D

Explanation:

In this exercise, the vectors are in the same west-east direction, so we can assume that the positive direction is east and perform the algebraic sum.

       R = δ + ε

where

       δ = 2.0 m

       ε = 7.0 m

the positive sign indicates that it is heading east

        R = 2.0 + 7.0

        R = 9.0 m

the direction is east

the correct answer is D

A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a
sattari [20]

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.

A girl kicks a blue ball with a velocity of 20.0 m/s at 65.0o. How long is it in the air?
34kurt

Explanation:

t = usin©/g

Where t is the time to reach the maximum height

Time spent in air is T = 2t

Hence, T = 2usin©/g

T = 2 x 20 x sin 65°/ 9.8

T = 3.69s
