give the reason why the horizontal component of the velocity of a projectile remains the same at every point of its flight

Physics

Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

Because ...

-- If you ignore air resistance ... which we always do for these problems ... then there's NO horizontal force acting on the projectile.

-- Since there's no horizontal force on the projectile, its horizontal acceleration is zero.

-- Since the projectile has no horizontal acceleration, the horizontal component of its velocity is constant.

A force is applied to an ideal spring (initially in its equilibrium position) and does 1.9 JJ of work stretching it 2.2 cmcm . H
Verdich [7]

Answer:

W=16.58J

Explanation:

initial information we have

work: W=1.9J

stretched distance: x=2.2cm=0.022m

from this, we can find the value of the constant of the spring k, with the equation for work in a spring:

W=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

substituting known values:

1.9J=\frac{1}{2}k(0.022)^2\\

and clearing for k:

k=\frac{2(1.9J)}{0.022^2} \\k=7,851.24

and now we want to know how much work is done when we stretch the spring a distance of 6.5cm from equilibrium, so now x is:

x=6.5cm=0.065m

and using the same formula for work, with the value of k that we just found:

W=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

W=\frac{1}{2}(7851.24)(0.065)^2\\W=16.58J

A car is traveling at a speed of 38.0 m/s on an interstate highway where the speed limit is 75.0 mi/h. Is the driver exceeding t
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Yes, the car driver is exceeding the given limit.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Speed of the car, v = 38.0 m/s.
  • Speed limit of the highway, \rm v_o=75.0\ mi/h.

<h2><u>Converting the speed limit from mi/h to m/s:</u></h2>

We know,

1 mi = 1.60934 km.

1 km = 1000 m.

Therefore, 1 mi = 1.60934 × 1000 m = 1609.34 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

Therefore, 1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds.

Using these values,

\rm 1\ \dfrac{mi}{h}=\dfrac{1609.34\ m}{3600\ s}=0.447\ m/s.

Therefore,

\rm v_o = 75.0\ mi/h=75.0\times 0.447=33.52\ m/s.

Clearly,

\rm v_o

which means, the car driver is exceeding the given speed limit.

What is the reaction for P₄ + 5 O₂ --&gt; 2 P₂O₅
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Combination or synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction is a combination or synthesis reaction in which two or more substances combines to give a single product.

In such a reaction there is formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements.

 The driving force for such reactions is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

So, this is a combination reaction.

Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb or rod, even though they have nonet charge. How is this possible?
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of  pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.
