Answer:

<em>a. t = 2.02 s </em>

<em>b. d = 20.2 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

If an object is thrown horizontally from a height h with a speed v, it describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The time the object takes to hit the ground can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The time does not depend on the initial speed.

The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated by the equation:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff throws a rock with an initial horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

b.

The range is:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

Describe how Rutherford's experiments changed the accepted scientific model of the atom.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If
Shkiper50 [21]

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

v_y = u_y +gt

where:

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s

b)

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

v_x =  5 m/s
