The ball's horizontal and vertical velocities at time t are

v_x=v_{xi}

v_y=v_{yi}-gt

but the ball is thrown horizontally, so v_{yi}=0. Its horizontal and vertical positions at time t are

x=v_{xi}t

y=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball travels 22 m horizontally from where it was thrown, so

22\,\mathrm m=v_{xi}t

from which we find the time it takes for the ball to land on the ground is

t=\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}

When it lands, y=0 and

0=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac{9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}2\left(\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}\right)^2

\implies v_i=v_{xi}=11\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

how long would it take for a resultant upward force of 100N to increase the speed of 50kg object from 100m/s to 150m/s​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

25 sec

Explanation:

F = ma

100 = 50 a

a = 2 m/s^2

vf = vo + at

150 = 100 +  2 t

50 = 2 t

t = 25 sec
