A child is trying to throw a ball over a fence. She gives the ball an initial speed of 8.0 m/s at an angle of 40° above the hori
EastWind [94]

Answer:

the child is 1.581 m far from the fence

Explanation:

The diagrammatic illustration that give a better view of what the question denote can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image attached below, let assume that the release point is the origin, then equation of the motion (x) is as follows:

x - x_o = u_xt

\mathtt{x = u_xt  \ \  \ since (x_o = 0)}  ---- (1)

the equation of the motion y is :

\mathtt{y - y_o =u_yt - 0.5 gt^2}

\mathtt{y = u_yt-4.9t^2     \ \ \  since (y_o =0)}

\mathtt{ 1= (u \ sin 40^0)t -4.9 \ t^2        }

\mathtt{1 = 8 sin 40^0 t - 4.9 t^2}

\mathtt{1 = 5.14t - 4.9t^2}

\mathtt{4.9t^2 - 5.14t +1 = 0}

By using the quadratic formula, we have;

\mathtt{ \dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}}     }

where;

a = 4.9,   b = -5.14     c = 1

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ -(-5.14) \pm \sqrt{(-5.14)^2 - 4(4.9)(1)}}{2(4.9)}}     }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14 \pm \sqrt{26.4196 -19.6}}{9.8}}     }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14 \pm \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}}     }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14+ \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}  \  \ OR \  \  \dfrac{ 5.14- \sqrt{6.8196}}{9.8}}    }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 5.14+ 2.6114}{9.8}  \  \ OR \  \  \dfrac{ 5.14- 2.6114}{9.8}}    }

= \mathtt{ \dfrac{ 7.7514}{9.8}  \  \ OR \  \  \dfrac{ 2.5286}{9.8}}    }

= \mathbf{ 0.791 \  \ OR \  \  0.258}    }

In as much as the ball is traveling upward, then we consider t= 0.258sec.

From equation (1)

\mathtt{x = u_x(0.258)}

\mathtt{x = ucos 40^0 (0.258)}

\mathtt{x = 8 \ cos 40^0 (0.258)}

\mathbf{x = 1.581  \ m}

Thus, the child is 1.581 m far from the fence

Conduction is usually faster/slower in liquids and certain solids than in gases.
KIM [24]
Conduction is slower in liquids and gases.

Liquids it is convection which transmits more heat.. quicker...

Materials which are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors.

metals are good thermal conductors.

Evaluate ( 64800 ms ) 2 to three significant figures and express the answer in Si units. Express your answer using three signifi
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second

\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2

4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2

42.0×10² second²

A 10 m long uniform beam weighing 100 N is supported by two ropes at the ends. If a 400 N person sits at 2.0 m from one end of t
Naddik [55]

Answer:

T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N

Explanation:

In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.

1. forces:

Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:

ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0

(1) T1 + T2 = 500N

2. torque around the center point of the beam:

τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0

(2) T1 - T2 = -240N

Solving both equations:

T1 = 130N

T2 = 370N
