A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the

Physics

DedPeter [7]2 years ago

(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )

<em>t</em> = 0   or   (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0

The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s

(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>

where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)

<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m

If a 16 N net force makes an object accelerate at 4 m/s2, what is the mass of the object?
12345 [234]

Answer:

4 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 4 m/s^2

Force = 16 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 16 / 4

mass = 4 kg

When hydrogen peroxide antiseptic is tightly capped and left on the shelf for a long period of time, the bottle is observed to s
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The hydrogen peroxide decomposes as: H_2O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O+O_2

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide antiseptic although tightly capped but left on the shelf for a long time leads to swollen bottle and opens with a hissing sound because hydrogen peroxide reacts with air in presence of light to dissociate into water and oxygen molecules that leads to high volume of content in the tightly closed bottle and formation of water molecules from hydrogen peroxide.

Once the hydrogen peroxide has turned into water molecules it is no longer effective as an antiseptic.

A 2kg object initially going 4m/s to the right is later going 8m/s. whats the change in velocity?
Nezavi [6.7K]

The change in velocity is +4 m/s to the right (or -4 m/s to the left).

The object's mass is irrelevant.
