A dandelion seed floats to the ground in a mild wind with a resultant velocity of 26.0 cm/s. If the horizontal component velocit

y due to the wind is 10.0 cm/s, what is the vertical component velocity? Show all work.

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

a basketball player jumped straight up to grab a rebound. If she was in the air for .8 second how high did she jump
Alona [7]
Answer:
0.78m (rounded to nearest hundredth of a meter)

explanation:
time taken for going up=time taken for drop down after reaching the highest point. at the highest point, the velocity becomes 0.

now all thats left is dropping an object from a height (h) and seeing how long it takes to reach the ground. then find out the flight’s total time divided by 2 (0.8/2=0.4)

lets say the velocity is v and the height she jumped to is h. we can make a kinematic expression:
s=vt+½gt²

once we put it all together you should get this:

h=0×0.4+½(9.81) 0.4²


.
∴

. (a) How long can you play tennis on the 800 kJ (about 200 kcal) of energy in a candy bar? (b) Does this seem like a long time?
galina1969 [7]

(a). The power of the candy bar is,

P=440\text{ W}

The time taken to play on 800 kJ energy of the candy bar is,

t=\frac{E}{P}

where E is the energy.

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} t=\frac{800\times10^3}{440} \\ t=1.818\times10^3\text{ s} \\ t=1818\text{ seconds} \end{gathered}

As 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds,

Thus,

\begin{gathered} t=1818\text{ seconds} \\ t=\frac{1818}{60} \\ t=30.3\text{ min} \end{gathered}

Thus, the time taken to play tennis on the 800 kJ energy is 30.3 minutes.

(b). By doing the exercise, the process of digestion of food inside our body increases. Thus, the exercise does not helps us to burn the calories. But it helps us to diggest the heavy meal like candy bar easily.

The time taken to digest the canndy bar or to utilise its energy is large because it takes a lot of time to burn small amount of food and make it digest quickly.

How does the launch angle affect the maximum height reached by a ground launched projectile?​
NISA [10]

Answer:

The maximum height is determined by the initial vertical velocity. Since steeper launch angles have a larger vertical velocity component, increasing the launch angle increases the maximum height.

It takes a minimum distance of 41.14 m to stop a car moving at 11.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
padilas [110]

Answer:

Find the time it took for the car to stop at 11.0m/s

V = deltax/t

t = 41.14/11.0 = 3.74s

Now find at what rate it was decelerating, so find the acceleration during that interval of time.

vf = vi + at

-11.0m/s = a3.74s

a = -2.94m/s^2

The acceleration is negative because is pulling the car towards its opposite direction to make it stop.

Now find how much time it would take for the car to stop at 28.0m/s but with the same acceleration, the car is the same so its acceleration to stop the car will remain the same.

vf = vi + at

0 = 28.0 - 2.94t

t = 9.52

Once the time is obtained, you can find the final position, xf, by plugging the time acceleration and velocity values.

xf = 0 + (28m/s)(9.52s) + 1/2(-2.94)(9.52s)^2

xf = 266.6m - 133.23m = 133m
