Answer:

$\boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}$

Explanation:

The unit of speed is metre per second or m / s. It clearly depends on two fundamental units ; unit of length ( metre ) and unit of time ( second ). Hence , m/s is a derived unit.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

The unit of speed is m/s. The two terms metre and second are fundamental quantities.

As,m/s is derived from these two fundamental quantities. Therefore, Unit of speed is a derived unit.

Calculate the distance traveled by a projectile as a function of launch angle. Compare the distances for two projectiles launche

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

$R = x_{max} = \frac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(2\theta_1}{\sin(2\theta_2}$

Explanation:

Using kinematics equations:

$\Delta x = v_{0x}t\\\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_{0y}t$

Use $\Delta y = 0$ due to condition of distance traveled.

Solving second equation for time, there are two solutions. t=0 and

$t=\frac{2v_{0y}}{g}$

Use the expression in the first equation to have

$R = \frac{2v^2 \cos\theta\sin\theta}{g}$

Using trigonometric identities, you have the answer of the distance.

By doing the ratio for two different angles, you have the second answer. Due to sine function properties, the distances can be the same to complementary angles. Example, for 20° and 70°, the distance is the same.

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

$\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j$
