The snowball travels a horizontal distance <em>x</em> and has height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> according to

<em>x</em> = <em>vt</em>

<em>y</em> = 0.9 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Set <em>y</em> = 0 and solve for <em>t</em> :

0 = 0.9 m - 1/2 <em>gt</em> ²

<em>t</em> ² = (1.8 m) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 0.43 s

The target is 2 m away from where the snowball is thrown, so it was thrown with speed <em>v</em> such that

2 m = <em>v </em>(0.429 s)

<em>v</em> = (2 m) / (0.43 s)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s

Calculation using Ohm's Law: If a circuit has a voltage of 500 V and a resistance of 250 ohms, what is the current?
konstantin123 [22]

I = V / R

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

Current = (500 V) / (250 ohms)

Current = (500/250) Amperes

<em>Current = 2 Amperes</em>

A kid pulls on a rope with 20 newtons of force. The block and tackle system pulls up a 160 newton box. What is the mechanical ad
Minchanka [31]
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

You can enter compound units that are combinations of other units that are multiplied together.Torque can be calculated by multi
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

3.0 x 10¹ Nm

Explanation:

Torque = F x r

Where F is force applied and r is perpendicular distance from pivot point . r

is also called lever arm

Here F = 15 N and r = 2.0 m

Torque

= 15 N X 2.0 m

= 3.0 10¹ Nm.
