Answer:

v = 8.09   m/s

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the work done by the friction force plus the potential energy equals the change in the body's energy.

Let's calculate the energy

       

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m gh

final point. To go down the slope

         Em_f = K = ½ m v²

The work of the friction force is

         W = fr L cos 180

to find the friction force let's use Newton's second law

Axis y

        N - W_y = 0

        N = W_y

X axis

        Wₓ - fr = ma

let's use trigonometry

        sin  θ = y / L

         sin θ = 11/110 = 0.1

         θ = sin⁻¹  0.1

          θ = 5.74º

         sin 5.74 = Wₓ / W

         cos 5.74 = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin 5.74

         W_y = W cos 5.74

the formula for the friction force is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

Work is friction force is

         W_fr = - μ W L cos θ  

Let's use the relationship of work with energy

        W + ΔU = ΔK

         -μ mg L cos 5.74 + (mgh - 0) = 0  - ½ m v²

        v² = - 2 μ g L cos 5.74 +2 (gh)

        v² = 2gh - 2 μ gL cos 5.74

let's calculate

        v² = 2 9.8 11 - 2 0.07 9.8 110 cos 5.74

        v² = 215.6 -150.16

        v = √65.44

        v = 8.09   m/s

The kicker now kicks the ball with the same speed as in the number of 4,but at 60.0°from the horizontal or 30.0° from the vertic
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

i) 0.7

ii) 1.39

iii) 0.6

Next time, when compiling a Physics question, ensure you put the unit of each measurement.

Explanation:

i) T = time of flight =   \frac{2uSin(A)}{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting the values, we have: T = \frac{2(4)Sin(60)}{10} = 0.7

ii) distance travel = Range =  R = \frac{u^{2}Sin(2A) }{g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: R = \frac{4^{2}Sin(2*60) }{10} = 1.39

iii) Maximum Height = H = \frac{u^{2}(Sin(A))^{2}  }{2g}

where u = speed = 4, A = 60 and  g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 (It is a constant);

Subsituting values, we have: \frac{4^{2}(Sin60)^{2}  }{2*10} = 0.6

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane-parallel plates. An electron is released from
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • given S = distance from the first = 3.20cm = 0.032m, t = 1.30×10−8 s
  • q = 1.6 x 10_19C
  • using S = at^2/2
  • acceleration = 0.032 X 2 /(1.30×10−8)^2

a = 3.79 x 10^14m/s^2

  • From F = ma
  • F = qE
  • ma = qE

E = ma /q = 9.11 x 10^-31 x 3.79 x 10^14 / 1.6 x 10^-19

E = magnitude of this electric field. = 2156.3N/C

b) Find the speed of the electron when it strikes the second plate ; V^2 = 2as

= 2 X 3.79 x 10^14 X 0.032

= 4.92 X 10^6m/s

What can you infer from the fact that metals are good conductors of electricity?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Knowing that these metals are infact good conductors of electricity we can infer that metals are able to hold and conduct certain temperatures. Another thing we can infer is that these good conductors can be used in connection to transferring energy or electricity.
