Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg

Why do electric field lines explain why like charges repel and opposite charges attract?
vivado [14]

It can be explained as follows: consider the field produced by a positive charge. If we place a positive test charge in this a field, then this charge would move away from the central charge (because like charges repel), while if we place a negative test charge in this field, this charge would move towards the central charge (because opposite charges repel)

Explanation:

Electric fields are vector fields, and they are represented using field lines.

The field lines give indications on both the magnitude and the direction of the electric field. In fact:

  • The magnitude of the field can be inferred from the spacing between the lines: the closer the lines are, the stronger the field, while for a weaker field the lines are more spread apart
  • The direction of the field is given by the direction of the field lines

In particular, by convention the direction of the field lines represent the direction of the force that a positive test charge would feel when immersed in that field: this means that a positive test charge would accelerate in the direction of the field lines, while a negative test charge would accelerate in the direction opposite to the field lines.

This is in agreement with the fact that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. In fact, the lines of the electric field produced by a single-point positive charge point away from the positive charge: if we place a positive test charge in this field, then this charge would move away from the central charge (because like charges repel), while if we place a negative test charge in this field, this charge would move towards the central charge (because opposite charges repel).

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed v at an upward angle θ. A player a distance d away in the directio
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Explanation:

Using the formula for "range" in projectile motion to derive the average speed before the ball hits the ground.

Range is the distance covered by the body in the horizontal direction from the point of launch to the point of landing.

According to the range formula,

R = U²sin2θ/g

Cross multiplying we have;

Rg = U²sin2θ

Dividing both sides by sin2θ, we have;

U² = Rg/sin2θ

Taking the square root of both sides we have;

√U² = √Rg/sin2θ

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Therefore, his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground is √Rg/sin2θ
