When solving projectiles you will often get two possible times for solutions. Sometimes a time will be negative and can be rejec

ted. Other times both times will be positive and therefore possible. Explain why both times above make sense in the context of the given information used. Which time will you ultimately choose and why?
Context is attached below.

Answer:

The reason why times, 0.23 s, and 1.80 s makes sense is that a projectile passes through a given height level, which is lesser than the maximum height reached by the projectile, twice in its trajectory

Explanation:

The formula for the time of motion of a projectile is given as follows;

t = \dfrac{-V_{oy} \pm \sqrt{V_{oy} ^2 - 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y} }{-g}

Therefore, when V_{oy} ^2 = 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y}, we have only one time value

When V_{oy} ^2 > 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y}, two time values can be obtained and both will be positive when we have;

V_{oy} > \sqrt{V_{oy} ^2 - 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y} }

When V_{oy} < \sqrt{V_{oy} ^2 - 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y} }, one of the time values will be negative and can be rejected

Therefore, given that the times obtained above are 1.80 s, and 0.23 s, and both make sense due to the following reason;

In the path of the projectile motion of the basketball, there are two points in time at which the height of the basketball above the starting point is exactly 2 meters, given that the maximum height reached is more than 2 meters

The first time the basketball is 2 meters above the point it is shot is lesser of the two calculated time values, which is during the upward motion of the basketball before it reaches the maximum height, while the second time is, which is the larger calculated time, is the time that the basketball reaches the hoop, after flying past the highest point

An object of mass 2.0 kg is attached to the top of a vertical spring that is anchored to the floor. The unstressed length of the
poizon [28]

Answer:

The value is A  =  0.014 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the object is  m  =  2.0 \  kg

    The unstressed length of the string is  l  =  0.08 \  m

    The length of the spring when it is  at equilibrium is  l_e = 5.9 \  cm  =  0.059 \  m

      The initial speed (maximum speed)of the spring when given a downward blow v  =  0.30 \  m/s

Generally the maximum speed  of the spring  is mathematically represented as

           u =  A *  w

Here A is maximum height above the floor (i.e the maximum amplitude)

            and w is the angular frequency which is mathematically represented as

       w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

So

        u =  A *   \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

=>      A  =  u *   \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Gnerally the length of the compression(Here an assumption that the spring was compressed to the ground by the hammer is made) by the hammer is mathematically represented as

           b  =  l -l_e

=>         b  = 0.08 - 0.05 9

=>         b  = 0.021 \  m

Generally at equilibrium position the net force acting on the spring is  

            k *  b  -  mg  =  0

=>         k *  0.021   -   2 * 9.8  =  0

=>        k =  933 \  N/m

So

            A  =  0.30  *   \sqrt{\frac{2}{933} }

=>          A  =  0.014 \  m

A car moving at 30 m/s slows uniformly to a speed of 10 m/s in a time of 5 s. Determine 1. The acceleration of the car. 2. The d
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity , u = 30 m/s

final velocity , v = 10 m/s

time , t = 5 seconds

1. Acceleration = v - u / t

= 10 - 30 / 5

= -20 / 5

= <u><em>- 4 m/s</em></u>

How much heat is absorbed by 41 g iron skillet when its temperature varies from 9°C. to 20°C
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

202.95J

Explanation:

The formulae for the energy absorbed by the iron skillet is;

q=m*c*ΔФ   where q=energy absorbed, m is mass of iron skillet, c is specific heat capacity and ΔФ is change in temperature

Given that;

m= 41g

ΔФ=20°-9°=11°

c=0.45 J/g°C

q= 41×0.45×11

q= 202.95 J
