Answer:

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate.

Explanation:

Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

A force of 10N is making an angle of 300 with the horizontal. Its horizontal components will be

Flauer [41]

Answer: 5N

Explanation:

Horizontal component is the force that is applied as a result of the diagonal application of force.

here in this case,

given diagonal force =10N.

angle= 30°

horizontal component is found using trigonometry..

so,

A vector of magnitude 10 N is provided.

It is at an angle of 30° to the + x axis.

To find:

The components along the x and y axis.

Calculation:

Along x axis:

F(x) = F cos(θ)

=> F(x) = 10 × cos(30)

=> F(x) = 10 (√3/2) = 5√3N

Along y axis:

F(y) = F sin(θ)

=> F(y) = 10 sin(30°)

=> F(y) = 10 × ½

=> F(y) = 5 N.

Additional information:

1. A vector is a quantity that can be defined with both magnitude and direction.

2. Since force is a vector, we are able to break it down into components along chosen axis.

What is the momentum of a 10kg ball moving at a velocity of 4m/s east?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

40 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum, p is defined as the product of mass and velocity of an object. Numerically, it is represented as, p=mv where m is mass of the object and v is the velocity in which the object moves, with keen observation on the direction before and after collision. Substituting 10 kg for m and 4 m/s for v then momentum, P=10*4=40 kg.m/s

A golfer gives a ball a maximum initial speed of 51.5 m/s. how far does it go

nata0808 [166]

<u>Answer:</u>

Golf ball will go a maximum of 270.36 meter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Projectile motion has two types of motion Horizontal and Vertical motion.

Vertical motion:

We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Considering upward vertical motion of projectile.

In this case, Initial velocity = vertical component of velocity = u sin θ, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -g $m/s^2$ and final velocity = 0 m/s.

0 = u sin θ - gt

t = u sin θ/g

Total time for vertical motion is two times time taken for upward vertical motion of projectile.

So total travel time of projectile = 2u sin θ/g

Horizontal motion:

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case Initial velocity = horizontal component of velocity = u cos θ, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ and time taken = 2u sin θ /g

So range of projectile, $R=ucos\theta*\frac{2u sin\theta}{g} = \frac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

Now in the given problem

A golfer gives a ball a maximum initial speed of 51.5 m/s. how far does it go

u = 51.5 m/s, for maximum range θ = 45⁰

So maximum distance reached = $\frac{51.5^2sin(2*45)}{9.81}=270.36 meter$

So it will go a maximum of 270.36 meter.

Which wavelength of light is the best choice when attempting to quantitatively relate solution absorbance and concentration?.

ANEK [815]

The optimum wavelength is 450 nm because that is the wavelength of maximum absorbance by FeSCN2+(aq)

you should choose a wavelength with maximum absorbance. In this case, you are using the scattered light, not the absorbed light as your signal. So you should avoid wavelengths where there are absorption peaks.

<h3>What is wavelength ?</h3>

A waveform signal that is carried in space or down a wire has a wavelength, which is the separation between two identical places (adjacent crests) in the consecutive cycles. This length is typically defined in wireless systems in metres (m), centimetres (cm), or millimetres (mm) (mm).

The distance between two waves' crests serves as an illustration of wavelength. When you and another person have the same overall mindset and can easily communicate, that is an example of being on the same wavelength.

The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is _______ light.

Goryan [66]

<span>The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is the red light. The answer is letter C. It is called visible light because it is the only light that can be seen by the human eye. Red light is the longest wavelength around 620 to 750 nanometer. It is followed by orange which has a wavelength of 590 t 620 nanometer. And then blue which has a wavelength of 450 to 495 nanometer. And the shortest wavelength is violet which has a wavelength of 380 to 459 nanometer. </span>
