g You are walking around your neighborhood and you see a child on top of a roof of a building kick a soccer ball. The soccer bal

l is kicked at 37° from the edge of the building with an initial velocity of 21 m/s and lands 63 meters away from the wall. How tall, in meters, is the building that the child is standing on?

Answer:

h = 21.5 m

Explanation:

  • First of all, we define a pair of coordinate axes along the horizontal and vertical direction, calling x-axis to the horizontal and y-axis to the vertical, with the origin in the point where the ball is kicked.
  • Neglecting air resistance, the only influence on the ball once kicked is due to gravity, so the ball is accelerated by the Earth with a constant value of -9.8 m/s2 (assuming the upward direction as positive).
  • So, we can use the kinematic equation for displacement for the vertical direction, as follows:

       \Delta y = v_{oy}* t -\frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2}   (1)

  • Since the ball is kicked at an angle of 37º from the edge of the building, at an initial velocity of 21 m/s, we can find the horizontal and vertical initial speeds as follows:

       v_{ox} = v* cos 37 = 21 m/s * cos 37 = 16.8 m/s (2)

       v_{oy} = v* sin 37 = 21 m/s * sin 37 = 12.6 m/s (3)

  • In the horizontal direction, since gravity has no component in this direction, the ball moves at a constant speed, equal to v₀ₓ.
  • Applying the definition of average velocity, since we know the horizontal distance traveled, we can find the total time that the ball was in the air, as follows:

       t = \frac{\Delta x}{v_{ox} }  = \frac{63m}{16.8m/s} = 3.75 s (4)

  • Replacing (4) and (3) in (1), we can find the total vertical displacement, which is equal to the height of the building, as follows:

     -h = 12.6m/s* 3.75s -\frac{1}{2}*(9.8m/s2)*(3.75s)^{2} = -21.5 m (5)

  • ⇒ h = -(-21.5m) = 21.5 m

Which type of communications equipment functions as a radio receiver and searches across several frequencies?
krok68 [10]

A <u>scanner</u> is a type of communications equipment that functions as a radio receiver and searches across several frequencies.

A scanner is a kind of a radio receiver that has the ability to receive multiple signals.

There are three modes which a scanner uses for acting as a radio receiver. The scan mode of the radio receiver constantly changes frequencies that helps in transmissions. There is also a manual scan mode that allows the users to search for their interested frequencies. The search mode allows the users to search through two sets of frequencies.

A scanner is a type of communication equipment that is easy to use with various features such as the volume, numeric keypad,  trunk tracking etc.

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?
mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.
