Answer:

I = 12 A

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the relationship that voltage is proportional to the product of current and resistance

V = I R

I = V / R

let's calculate

I = 120/10

I = 12 A

A baseball player leads off the game and hits a long home run. The ball leaves the bat at an angle of 70.0 from the horizontal w

professor190 [17]

Answer: 211.059 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\theta=70\°$ The angle at which the ball leaves the bat

$V_{o}=55 m/s$ The initial velocity of the ball

$g=-9.8 m/s^{2}$ The acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: $x$

Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:

<u>Horizontally:</u>

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos \theta$ (1)

$V_{ox}=55 m/s cos(70\°)=18.811 m/s$ (2)

<u>Vertically:</u>

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin \theta$ (3)

$V_{oy}=55 m/s sin(70\°)=51.683 m/s$ (4)

On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when $V=0$ and the time $t$ is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.

So, if we use the following equation, we will find $t$ :

$V=V_{o}+gt=0$ (5)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{-V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

$t=\frac{-55 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^{2}}$ (7)

$t=5.61 s$ (8)

Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time $T$ it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice $t$ :

$T=2t=2(5.61 s)=11.22 s$ (9)

With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:

$x=V_{ox}T$ (10)

Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):

$x=(18.811 m/s)(11.22 s)$ (11)

Finally:

$x=211.059 m$

How much force is needed to accelerate a 1000Kg car at a rate of 3m/s2?

ikadub [295]

According to Newton (2nd law), Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Substitute what we know : Force = (1,000 kg) x (3 m/s²)

Do the arithmetic: Force = 3,000 kg-m/s² = 3,000 newtons

Weight on planet Mars

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Mars: 0.38

weight = mass x surface gravity

multiplying your weight on Earth by the number above will give you your weight on the surface of Mars

If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars
