A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i

s caught at the same height it was tossed at, how far away is the teammate?​

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

\boxed{\mathfrak{range =  \frac{  u  {}^{2}   \sin 2\theta }{g} }}

u is the velocity during its take off and \theta is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

  • u = 8m/ s
  • \theta = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40)  }{10}

=  \frac{64 \times  \sin(80) }{10}

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

=  \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}

=  \frac{63.027}{10}

= 6.3027

Hence,

\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \:  \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }

Car A is traveling west at 40 mi/h and car B is traveling north at 40 mi/h. Both are headed for the intersection of the two road
Gwar [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

    \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h,     \frac{dx}{dt} = -40 mi/h

The negative sign indicates that x and y are decreasing.

We have to find \frac{dz}{dt}. Equation for the given variables according to the Pythagoras theorem is as follows.

              z^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}

Now, we will differentiate each side w.r.t 't' as follows.

        2z\frac{dz}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}

or,          \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

So, when x = 4 mi, and y = 3 mi then z = 5 mi.

As,       \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{1}{z}(x\frac{dx}{dt} + y\frac{dy}{dt})

                       = \frac{1}{5}(4 \times (-40) + 3 \times (-40))

                       = \frac{-140 - 120}{5}

                       = 52

Thus, we can conclude that the cars are approaching at a rate of 52 mi/h.

a 25 kg object is pushed with a horizontal force of 5 N esat across a table. If the force of friction is 2 N, what is the accele
Julli [10]

Answer:

Apply Newton's second law in the moving direction.

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}F &= ma\\5N-2N &= 25kg\times a\\a & = \frac{3N}{25kg}\\&= 0.12ms^{-2}\end{aligned}

Friction force applies in the opposite direction of motion; as a restriction.

whats an isotope? give the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of each of the following isotopes, Carbo
melamori03 [73]
Isotopes refer to different atoms of the same element (i.e. same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they have (giving them different atomic weights). Atomic weight is the sum of protons and neutrons (each contributes 1 atomic mass unit).

Carbon has 6 protons by definition. If you have a carbon-13 atom (the 13 referring to its mass), the atom has 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 6 electrons.

Sulfur has 16 protons by definition. If you have a sulfur-32 atom, the atom has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 16 electrons.
