Answer:

The horizontal distance the ball travels is approximately 4.055 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height from which the child kicks the ball = 3.5 m

The horizontal speed of the ball = 4.8 m/s

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes the ball to hit the ground is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial vertical velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

t = The time it takes the ball to hit the ground

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the ball = 3.5 m

3.5 = 0 × t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

∴ t² = 3.5/(1/2 × 9.81)

∴ t = √(3.5/(1/2 × 9.81) = 0.8447 s

t ≈ 0.8447 s

The time the ball takes in flight = t ≈ 0.8447 s

Therefore;

The horizontal distance the ball travels = The horizontal velocity × The time of flight

∴ The horizontal distance the ball travels = 4.8 × 0.8447 ≈ 4.055

The horizontal distance the ball travels ≈ 4.055 meters.

Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1) When $d_{o}$ < $d_{i}$ (hence $d_{o}$ < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When $d_{o}$ > $d_{i}$ (and $d_{o}$ < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}$

$Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}$

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

$d_{i}$ = Image distance from the mirror

$d_{o}$ = Object distance from the mirror

$h_{i}$ = Image height

$h_{o}$ = Object height

$d_{o}$ is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

$d_{i}$ is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When $d_{o}$ < $d_{i}$ (hence $d_{o}$ < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When $d_{o}$ > $d_{i}$ (and $d_{o}$ < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.

The center of gravity is defined as: a. The part of the skeleton composed of the bones of the vertebral column, ribs, and skull

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

d. Imaginary point through which the resultant force of gravity acts on an object

Explanation:

Gravity acting on all particle points of the object, no matter how small they are. As a combination, the center of gravity would denote a single point which substitutes for all the gravity forces on the object.
