Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

lana [24]

Answer:

0.500 T

Explanation:

Since the change in time and the number of coils are both 1, I set the problem up to be 1.3=(1.5(x)-13(x)). I then plugged in numbers for x until I got the answer to be 1.3 V.

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}

t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.
