You throw a snowball horizontally. It hits a target 2 meters away. You notice that it hit o.9m below where you aimed. With what

horizontal velocity did you throw the snowball?

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

givi [52]

Answer:

decreases.

Explanation:

When the aircraft is flies from the warm air into the  colder air then its speed will be decreases.

as we know that

we know mach number is constant  

so that here Mach number M is expressed as  

M = \frac{u}{v}      .............................1

here u is  Local flow velocity with respect to the boundarie and v is the speed of sound in the medium

If the aircraft flies from hot air to cold air, the speed of sound in the medium will decrease. But the Mach number remains constant. Therefore, the local flow velocity relative to the boundaries also decreases.

Fill in a T/F answer for each statement below. If false, correct the statement to make it true.:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's answer these statements

.1) True. This is the law of reflection.

.2) False. The speed of light depends on the index of refraction n = c / v

           v = c / n

.3) True. The frequency creates a forced oscillation, whereby the atoms re-emit at the same incident frequency

.4) False. The index of refraction is a measure of the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the material environment, the ability to change the trajectory is given by the law of refraction

.5) True. True due to the change in beam trajectory due to the law of refraction

.6 False. The phenomenon occurs when you pass from a medium with a higher index to one with a lower ratio, because the refracted beam separates from the normal

.7) True.

.8) False so that the lightning approach is valid Lam >> d,

.9) True.
