Answer:

nuclear fusion

Explanation:

The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom.

A golf ball is dropped from rest from a height of 9.5m. It hits the pavement then bounces back up rising just 5.7 m before fal

Oksanka [162]

Answer: 3.4s

Explanation:

There are three stages in the motion of the ball, so you have to calculate the times for every stage.

1) Ball dropping from 9.5m: free fall

d = Vo + gt² / 2

Vo = 0 ⇒ d = gt² / 2 ⇒ t² = 2d / g = 2 × 9.5 m / 9.81 m/s² = 1.94 s²

⇒ t = √ (1.94 s²) = 1.39s

2) Ball rising 5.7m (vertical rise)

i) Determine the initial speed:

Vf² = Vo² - 2gd

Vf² = 0 ⇒ Vo² = 2gd = 2 × 9.81 m/s² × 5.7m = 111.8 m²/s²

⇒ Vo = 10.6 m/s

ii) time rising

Vf = Vo - gt

Vf = 0 ⇒ Vo = gt ⇒

t = Vo / g = 10.6 m/s / 9.81 m/s² = 1.08 s

3) Ball dropping from 5.7 m to 1.20m above the pavement (free fall)

i) d = 5.7m - 1.20m = 4.5m

ii) d = gt² / 2 ⇒ t² = 2d / g = 2 × 4.5 m / 9.81 m/s² = 0.92 s²

⇒ t = √ (0.92 s²) = 0.96s

4) Total time

t = 1.39s + 1.08s + 0.96s = 3.43s ≈ 3.4s

An archer standing on a 15 degree slope shoots an arrow at an angle of 26 degrees above the horizontal. How far below its origin

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The arrow will hit 112.07 m from the point of release.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of an object in a parabolic movement is as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time

g = acceleration due to gravity

We know that at the final time the y-component of the vector "r" (see figure") is -1.88 m. The x-component of that vector will be the horizontal distance traveled by the arrow. Using the equation of the y-component of "r", we can obtain the final time and with that time we can calculate the value of the x-component (horizontal distance).

Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the point where the arrow is released, y0 = 0. Notice that the angle α = 26° + 15° = 41° ( see figure)

-1.88 m = 33 m/s · sin 41° · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t² (g is downward)

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 33 m/s · sin 41° · t + 1.88 m

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 4.5 s ( the negative value is discarded)

Now, with this time we can calculate the horizontal distance:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α (x0 = 0, the same as y0)

x = 33 m/s · 4.5 s · cos 41° = 112.07 m
