Answer:

The Nucleus

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. I hope this helps you :D

The following questions present a twist on the scenario above to test your understanding. Suppose another stone is thrown horizo

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The first part of the text is missing, you can find on google:

"A ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 45 m. If it strikes the ground 56 m away, find the following values."

Let's now solve the different parts.

(a) 3.03 s

The time of flight can be found by analyzing the vertical motion only. The vertical displacement at time t is given by

$y(t) = h -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 45 m is the initial height

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

When y=0, the ball reaches the ground, so the time taken for this to happen can be found by substituting y=0 and solving for the time:

$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(45)}{9.8}}=3.03 s$

(b) 18.5 m/s

For this part, we need to analyze the horizontal motion only, which is a uniform motion at constant speed.

The horizontal position is given by

$x=v_x t$

where

$v_x$ is the horizontal speed, which is constant

t is the time

At t = 3.03 s (time of flight), we know that the horizontal position is x = 56 m. By substituting these numbers and solving for vx, we find the horizontal speed:

$v_x = \frac{x}{t}=\frac{56}{3.03}=18.5 m/s$

The ball was thrown horizontally: this means that its initial vertical speed was zero, so 18.5 m/s was also its initial overall speed.

(c) 35.0 m/s at 58.1 degrees below the horizontal

At the impact, we know that the horizontal speed is still the same:

$v_x = 18.5 m/s$

we need to find the vertical velocity. This can be done by using the equation

$v_y = u_y -gt$

where

$u_y =0$ is the initial vertical velocity

g is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t = 3.03 s, we find the vertical velocity at the time of impact:

$v_y = -(9.8)(3.03)=-29.7 m/s$

So the magnitude of the velocity at the impact (so, the speed at the impact) is

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{18.5^2+(-29.7)^2}=35.0 m/s$

The angle instead can be found as:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-29.7}{18.5})=-58.1^{\circ}$

so, 58.1 degrees below the horizontal.

At what point in a projectile’s trajectory does it experience a minimum velocity?

ad-work [718]

Minimum velocity occurs at the top of the trajectory, where
the projectile stops rising and starts falling. For a split second,
it has no vertical speed at all, and its velocity is only the horizontal
speed (which doesn't change).
