Answer:

Explanation:

will try 2 explain fact, hypothesis, theory n law

fact is the starting pt: e.g. apple falls from tree

hypothesis tries 2 explain a fact: e.g. there is a force pulling down apple

theory is a complete explanation w/ equations n stuff: e.g. Newton came up w/ theory of gravitational attraction force

law is a theory dat has been proven right through tests n experiments: Newton's gravity theory had been proven right in many many tests.

Answer:

A hypothesis is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon. A law is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60 m building and lands 100 m from the base of the building. How long is the bal

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Explanation:

A ball is thrown horizontally

That means the vertical component of the initial velocity $u_{y}=0$

The initial velocity is the horizontal component $u_{x}$

The ball is thrown from the top of a 60 m

That means the vertical displacement component y = 60 m

→ y = $u_{y}$ t + $\frac{1}{2}$ gt²

where g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time

y = -60 m , g = -9.8 m/s² , $u_{y}=0$

Substitute these values in the rule

→ -60 = 0 + $\frac{1}{2}$ (-9.8)t²

→ -60 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ 12.2449 = t²

Take √ for both sides

∴ t = 3.5 seconds

* The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds 

The initial velocity is the horizontal component $u_{x}$

The ball lands 100 meter from the base of the building

That means the horizontal displacement x = 100 m

→ x = $u_{x}$ t

→ t = 3.5 s , x = 100 m

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 100 = $u_{x}$ (3.5)

Divide both sides by 3.5

→ $u_{x}$ = 28.57 m/s

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is $v_{y}$

→ $v_{y}$ = $u_{y}$ + gt

→ $u_{y}$ = 0 , g = -9.8 m/s² , t = 3.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ $v_{y}$ = 0 + (-9.8)(3.5)

→ $v_{y}$ = -34.3 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity v is the resultant vector of $v_{x}$ and $v_{y}$

→ Its magnetude is $v=\sqrt{(v_{x})^{2}+(v_{y})^{2}}$

→ Its direction $tan^{-1}\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}$

→ $v_{y}$ = 28.6 , $v_{y}$ = -34.3

Substitute this values in the rules above

→ $v=\sqrt{(28.6)^{2}+(-34.3)^{2}}=44.66$

→ Its direction $tan^{-1}\frac{-34.3}{28.6}=-50.18$

The negative sign means the direction is below the horizontal

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Please help

Allisa [31]

We are given:

Mass of the rocket = 10 kg

Weight of the Rocket = 100 N

Upward thrust applied by the rocket = 400 N

Net upward force on the rocket:

We are given that gravity pulls the rocket with a force of 100 N

Also, the rocket applied a force of 400N against gravity

Net upward force = Upward thrust - Force applied by gravity

Net upward force = 400 - 100

Net upward force = 300 N

Upward Acceleration of the Rocket:

From newton's second law:

F = ma

replacing the variables

300 = 10 * a

a = 30 m/s²

How far from the castle wall does the launched rock hit the ground?

lina2011 [118]

King Arthur's knights use a catapult to launch a rock from their vantage point on top of the castle wall, 14 m above the moat. The rock is launched at a speed of 27 m/s and an angle of 32degrees above the horizontal.

Can you please answer these ASAP!

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Let's explain this briefly.

Suppose that we have a piece of ice (this is, solid water) now we give energy to the piece of ice, so the temperature of the ice increases. There is a point where the piece of ice will start a change of phase, at this point the temperature of the ice stops increasing because all the energy we give to the ice is used in the change of phase.

Once we have a complete change of phase, the temperature can increase again, and now we will have liquid water.

If we keep increasing the temperature we will see this happen again, when we have the transition from liquid to gas.

(and a similar thing happen when we have a material in a given phase and we remove heat from the material).

In the images we can see the different changes of phase of water.

1) In the first image we can see the circle in a part where the temperature is constant, so the temperature does not change in this part, which means that there is a change of phase happening.

2) Here we have the circle in a diagonal line, so here the temperature is changing, meaning that we have an increase of temperature in this region.

3) Here we want to know what the x-axis represents, this should rerpesent the energy that is being given to the material (so in some parts we see that the temperature increases and in other parts we see that the material changes of phase)

Then here the correct option is heat over time.

4) The freezing point is the temperature in which the change of phase from liquid to solid happens (or solid to liquid).

In the graph we can see that this change of phase happens at the temperature T = -210°C

Then the correct option is -210°C (The last option)
