Background research is used to familiarize yourself with the topic or problem you're conducting your experiment on and help you form an educated guess explaining or solving it that will become your hypothesis.

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will
VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}

since v_y = 0 at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

A 2.35-kg rock is released from rest at a height of 21.4 m. Ignore air resistance and determine (a) the kinetic energy at 21.4 m
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : E_p=mgh

It can be calculated as :

E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

Cassie pulled the boat onto the ice and adjusted its sails. Once she got started she would be able to steer, change direction an
gladu [14]

Wind Energy is the kind of energy will Cassie uses to power the boat.

What is wind energy?

The method of producing electricity using air or wind currents that naturally occur in the earth's atmosphere is known as wind energy (or wind power). Electricity is produced by modern wind turbines that harness the kinetic energy of the wind. Wind passing across the turbine's blades is the initial step.

What is the major problem with wind energy?

Wind energy has the potential to have negative environmental effects, including the possibility of reducing, fragmenting, or deteriorating habitat for wildlife, fish, and plants, as with all energy supply choices. Furthermore, flying animals like birds and bats may be harmed by turbine blades in operation.
