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

A flywheel with radius of 0.300 m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.400 rad/s2.For a po
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

0.12\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a flywheel, r = 0.3 m

Angular acceleration of a flywheel, \alpha =0.4\ rad/s^2

We need to find the magnitude of the tangential acceleration after 2.00 s of acceleration.

The relation between the tangential and angular acceleration is given by :

a_t=r\alpha \\\\a_t=0.3\times 0.4\\\\a_t=0.12\ m/s^2

So, the required magnitude of tangential acceleration is 0.12\ m/s^2.

The figure (Figure 1) shows the velocity of a solar-powered motorhome (RV) as a function of time. The driver accelerates from a
SpyIntel [72]

Explanation :

It is given that, the driver accelerates from a stop sign, cruises for 20 s at a constant speed of 60 km/h, and then brakes to come to a stop 40 s after leaving the stop sign.

We know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

Where

dv is the change in velocity, dv = 0 - 60 m/s = -60 m/s

dt is the change in time, dt = 40 s - 30 s = 10 s

So, a=\dfrac{-60\ m/s}{10\ s}

a = -6\ m/s^2

From the graph it is clear that, from 30 s to 40 s the car is decelerating. So, at every second within this time the value of acceleration will be same i.e. -6\ m/s^2.

Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.15 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

U=50.96J

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy for pair of charge is given by

U=1/4π∈₀×(q₁q₂/r)

Hence for a system of three charges the electrostatic potential energy can be found by adding up the potential energy for all possible pairs or charges.For three equal charges on the corners of an equilateral triangle,the electrostatic potential energy is given by:

U=1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)

U=3×1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)

Substitute given values

So

U=3\frac{1}{4\pi E_{o} }\frac{q^{2} }{r}\\  U=3\frac{1}{4\pi8.85*10^{-12} }\frac{(1.15*10^{-6}C )^{2} }{0.0007m}\\  U=50.96J

Jonathan must lift a 3000n rock using a lever. jonathan uses 300n of force to push down on the lever to move the rock. what is t
-Dominant- [34]
The load is the weight of the rock that Jonathan lifts:
L=3000 N
The effort instead is the force applied in input to the lever in order to lift the rock:
E=300 N

So, the ratio between load and effort for this exercise is
\frac{L}{E}= \frac{3000 N}{300 N}=10
So, the ratio is 10:1.
