A “K-9 cannon” uses a powerful rubber band to launch a tennis ball(mass of 0.0577 kg) vertically upwards. The tennis ball has a

velocity of 25.0 m/s as it leaves the barrel.

Answer:

t = 5.1[s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must first use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o} -g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vo = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

Now replacing:

0 = 25-9.81*t\\t=25/9.81\\t=2.54[s]

Note: The key to understand this problem is that when the tennis ball is in the highest position its velocity is zero.

So it will take the same time from the highest point to the ground

t = 2.54 +2.54

t = 5.09 [s]

An elevator is being pulled up from the ground floor to the third floor by a cable. The cable is exerting 4500 newtons of force
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The gravitational force on the elevator = 4500N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The force applied by the elevator, F  = 4500 N

The acceleration of the elevator = Not accelerating

From Newton's third law of motion, the action of the cable force is equal to the reaction of the gravitational force on the elevator which is the weight, W and motion of the elevator as follows;

F = W + Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator

∴ F = W + Mass of elevator × 0 = W

F = 4500 N = W

The net force on the elevator is F - W = 0

The gravitational force on the elevator = W = 4500N.

Ships A and B leave port together. For the next two hours, ship A travels at 40.0 mph in a direction 35.0° west of north while t
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Ship A velocity is 40 mph and is traveling 35 west of north

Therefore in 2 hours it will travel 40\times 2=80 miles

thus its position vector after two hours is

r_A=-80sin35\hat{i}+80cos35\hat{j}

similarly B travels with 20 mph and in 2 hours

=20\times 2=40 miles Its position vector[tex]r_B=40sin80\hat{i}+40cos80\hat{j}

Thus distance between A and B  is

r_{AB}=\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )\hat{j}

|r_{AB}|=\sqrt{\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )^2+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )^2}

|r_{AB}|=103.45 miles

Velocity of A

v_A=-40sin35\hat{i}+40cos35\hat{j}

Velocity of B

v_B=20sin80\hat{i}+20cos80\hat{j}

Velocity of A w.r.t B

v_{AB}=v_A-v_B

v_{AB}=\left ( -20sin80-40sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 40cos35-20cos80\right )\hat{j}

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.
