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

Answer:

<u>666.6 kW</u>

Explanation:

<u>Power Formula</u>

  • Power = Force × Velocity

<u>Calculating Force</u>

  • F = ma
  • F = m(v - u / t) [From the equation v = u + at]
  • F = 2,000 (50/7.5)
  • F = 2,000 (20/3)
  • F = 40,000/3
  • F = 13333.3 N

<u>Solving for Power</u>

  • P = 13333.3 × 50
  • P = 666666.6 W
  • P = <u>666.6 kW</u>

In a series circuit what effect will adding more resistors to the circuit have
zhuklara [117]

Answer:In a series circuit, adding more resistors increases total resistance and thus lowers current. But the opposite is true in a parallel circuit because adding more resistors in parallel creates more choices and lowers total resistance. If the same battery is connected to the resistors, current will increase.

A student drops a ball from the top of a tall building; it takes 2.9 s for the ball to reach the ground.
AlexFokin [52]

<h2><u>We have</u>,</h2>

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 2.9s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = + 10 m/s² [Down]

<h2><u>To calculate</u>,</h2>

  • Final velocity (v)
  • Height (h)

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>,</u></h2>

→ v = u + gt

→ v = 0 + 10(2.9)

→ v = 29 m/s \qquad … ( Ans )

And,

→ h = ut + ½gt²

→ h = 0(2.9) + ½ × 10 × (2.9)²

→ h = 5 × 8.41

→ h = 42.05 m \qquad … ( Ans )
