Answer:

<h3>1.03684m</h3>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

An object is floating in equilibrium on the surface of a liquid. The object is then removed and placed in another container, fil
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

Explanation:

According to principle pf floatation , an object floats on the surface of water

when the weight of  liquid displaced by it becomes equal to weight of the object . weight of the liquid depends upon the density of the liquid .

In the second case , when the body is dipped into liquid of lesser density , in order to balance the weight of body , more volume of liquid will be displaced so that weight of displaced liquid becomes equal to object's weight . So the body floats with greater depth inside liquid . The fraction of its volume inside liquid  is increased .

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state
posledela

Answer:

a)  y₂ = 49.1 m ,    t = 1.02 s , b)   y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

            v_{y}² = v_{oy}² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

           y-yo = v_{oy}² /2 g&#10;            y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8&#10;            y - 0 = 5.10 m&#10;            &#10;The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system&#10;             y₂ = 5.1 + 44&#10;             y₂ = 49.1 m&#10;Let's use the other equation to find the time&#10;              [tex]v_{y} = v_{oy} - g t

              t = v_{oy} / g

              t = 10 / 9.8

              t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

            y- 44.0 = v_{y}² / 2 g

            y - 44.0 = 5.1

            y = 5.1 +44.0

            y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

              t = 1.02 s

Initially, a 2.00-kg mass is whirling at the end of a string (in a circular path of radius 0.750 m) on a horizontal frictionless
drek231 [11]

Answer:

v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using conservation of angular momentum.

The angular momentum \vec{L} is

\vec{L}  = \vec{r} \times \vec{p}

where \vec{r} is the position and \vec{p} the linear momentum.

We also know that the torque is

\vec{\tau} = \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt}  = \frac{d}{dt} ( \vec{r} \times \vec{p} )

\vec{\tau} =  \frac{d}{dt}  \vec{r} \times \vec{p} +   \vec{r} \times \frac{d}{dt} \vec{p}

\vec{\tau} =  \vec{v} \times \vec{p} +   \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

but, as the linear momentum is \vec{p} = m \vec{v} this means that is parallel to the velocity, and the first term must equal zero

\vec{v} \times \vec{p}=0

so

\vec{\tau} =   \vec{r} \times \vec{F}

But, as the only horizontal force is the tension of the string, the force must be parallel to the vector position measured from the vertical rod, so

\vec{\tau}_{rod} =   0

this means, for the angular momentum measure from the rod:

\frac{d\vec{L}_{rod}}{dt} =   0

that means :

\vec{L}_{rod} = constant

So, the magnitude of initial angular momentum is :

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i| cos(\theta)

but the angle is 90°, so:

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = |\vec{r}_i||\vec{p}_i|

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = r_i * m * v_i

We know that the distance to the rod is 0.750 m, the mass 2.00 kg and the speed 5 m/s, so:

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 0.750 \ m \ 2.00 \ kg \ 5 \ \frac{m}{s}

| \vec{L}_{rod_i} | = 7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}

For our final angular momentum we have:

| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = r_f * m * v_f

and the radius is 0.250 m and the mass is 2.00 kg

| \vec{L}_{rod_f} | = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f

but, as the angular momentum is constant, this must be equal to the initial angular momentum

7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s} = 0.250 m * 2.00 kg * v_f

v_f = \frac{7.5 \frac{kg m^2}{s}}{ 0.250 m * 2.00 kg}

v_f = 15 \frac{m}{s}
