Two children are throwing a ball back-and-forth straight across the back seat of a car. The ball is being thrown 7 mph relative

to the car, and the car is travelling 45 mph down the road. If one child doesn't catch the ball and it flies out the window, in what direction does the ball fly (ignoring wind resistance)

Answer:

the ball will fly in AX direction, making angle of 8.84° from the motion of the car

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the diagram below;

Now, Lets assume line AB represent the movement of the car,

AC is the movement of the ball been thrown back and forth in the back seat

Ax is the motion of the ball it flies off the window

so from the diagram, We can see triangle ABC

where AB is 45 mph and AC = 7 mph

and angle ∠CAB = 90°

using SOH CAH TOA

TOA; tanθ = Opposite / Adjacent

tanθ = Opposite / Adjacent

tan( ∠ ABC ) = AC /  AB

we substitute

tan( ∠ ABC ) = 7 /  45

tan( ∠ ABC ) = 0.15555

( ∠ ABC ) = tan⁻¹ 0.15555

( ∠ ABC ) = 8.84°

Therefor, angle ( ∠ ABC )  is 8.84°

Meaning angle ( ∠ XAA' ) is also 8.84°

Therefore, the ball will fly in AX direction, making angle of 8.84° from the motion of the car

Why is a flower not a good blackbody radiator?
artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer is O C. A flower absorbs most of the light that hits it.

Explanation:

  • <u><em> blackbody radiator is defined as an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation that falls on it at all frequencies over all angles of incidence.</em></u>
  • <u><em> No radiation is reflected from such an object. According to thermodynamic arguments embodied in Kirchhoff's law, a good absorber is also a good emitter.</em></u>

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

d₂ = 1.466 m

Explanation:

In this case we must use the rotational equilibrium equations

        Στ = 0

        τ = F r

we must set a reference system, we use with origin at the easel B and an axis parallel to the plank , we will use that the counterclockwise ratio is positive

      + W d₁ - w_cat d₂ = 0

      d₂ = W / w d₁

      d₂ = M /m d₁

      d₂ = 5.00 /2.9    0.850

      d₂ = 1.466 m

Which will increase the kinetic energy of an object more, increasing its mass or increasing its speed? Why?
agasfer [191]
Increasing its velocity will add to the kinetic energy more as the formula for kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2. (The speed will be squared making it greater)
