Answer:

A. 148.23 m

B. 2.75 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time of flight (T) = 11 s

Maximum height (h) =?

Initial velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the ball to get to the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Time of flight (T) = 11 s

Time (t) to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

11 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 11/2

t = 5.5 s

NOTE: Time to reach the maximum height is the same as the time taken for the ball to fall back to the plane of projection.

A. Determination of the maximum height to which the ball was thrown.

Time (t) to reach maximum height = 5.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 5.5²

h = 4.9 × 30.25

h = 148.23 m

B. Determination of the initial velocity.

Maximum height (h) reached = 148.23 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

u² = h/2g

u² = 148.23 / (2 × 9.8)

u² = 148.23 / 19.6

Take the square root of both side

u = √(148.23 / 19.6)

u = 2.75 m/s

3. Which of the following is true about astronauts taking out the TRASH?

scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

When trash accumulates, astronauts manually squeeze it into trash bags, temporarily storing almost two metric tons of it for relatively short durations, and then send it away in a departing commercial supply vehicle, which either returns it to Earth or incinerates it during reentry through the atmosphere.

A merry-go-round rotates from rest with an angular acceleration of 1.45 rad/s2. How long does it take to rotate through (a) the

elena55 [62]

Answer:

(a) t = 5.66 s

(b) t = 8 s

Explanation:

(a)

Here we will use 2nd equation of motion for angular motion:

θ = ωi t + (1/2)∝t²

where,

θ = Angular Displacement = (3.7 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 23.25 rad

ωi = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

t = time = ?

∝ = angular acceleration = 1.45 rad/s²

Therefore,

23.25 rad = (0 rad/s)(t) + (1/2)(1.45 rad/s²)t²

t² = (23.25 rad)(2)/(1.45 rad/s²)

t = √(32.06 s²)

<u></u>

(b)For next 3.7 rev

θ = ωi t + (1/2)∝t²

where,

θ = Angular Displacement = (3.7 rev + 3.7 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 46.5 rad

ωi = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

t = time = ?

∝ = angular acceleration = 1.45 rad/s²

Therefore,

46.5 rad = (0 rad/s)(t) + (1/2)(1.45 rad/s²)t²

t² = (46.5 rad)(2)/(1.45 rad/s²)

t = √(64.13 s²)

Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path?

kherson [118]

It is due to the plurality of forces enacted on them. For example a bullet, if fired from a firearm, will move forward due to force from the gun, will slow down due to drag from air resistance, and will move downwards due to gravitational force. All these forces culminate in a parabolic (curved) path.

An object in circular motion has velocity that is constantly changing. The direction of the acceleration is

Keith_Richards [23]

<h2>Answer: Toward the center of the circle.</h2>

This situation is characteristic of the uniform circular motion , in which the movement of a body describes a circumference of a given radius with constant speed.

However, in this movement the velocity has a constant magnitude, but its direction varies continuously.

Let's say $\vec{V}$ is the velocity vector, whose direction is perpendicular to the radius $r$ of the trajectory, therefore the acceleration $\vec{a}$ is directed toward the center of the circumference.
