A boy climbs 12.0m up an apple tree. He picks an apple and throws it horizontally with a velocity of 3.0 m/s. How far forward do

es the ball go before it hits the ground
Physics
1 answer:
monitta3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

4.692m

Explanation:

The distance that this boy climbed = 12.0m

The velocity = 3.0m/s

We are to find how far forward this apple goes before it hits the ground.

We have y = 1/2gt²

X = v*t

T = 1.564 seconds

X = 3x1.564

X = 4.692m

Therefore the ball goes a distance of 4.692m forward before it then hits the ground.

A child pulls on a wagon with a force of 75 N. If the wagon moves a total of 42 m in 3.1 min, what is the average power delivere
exis [7]

Answer:

16.96 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done by an object. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = (F×d)/t....................... Equation 1

Where P = power, F = force, d = distance, t = time.

Given: F = 75 N, d = 42 m, t = 3.1 min = 3.1×60 = 186 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (75×42)/186

P = 16.94 W

Hence the average power delivered by the child  = 16.96 W

Glass has a hardness that is in the middle of the hardness scale. What is the hardness of Glass?
sweet [91]

Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Let's start by explaining that hardness is a property that materials have related to the opposition or resistance they offer to alterations such as penetration, abrasion, scratching, cutting, and permanent deformations, among others.

In this context, several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifically minerals), being the Mohs scale  the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

This is how the scale starts at 1 with the talc (considered the softest material) and ends at 10 with the diamond as the hardest.

Now, if we are told that the glass is in the middle of the hardness scale that goes from 1 to 10, logically its value will be 5 (volcanic glass). However, according to the scale, the glass is at 5.5.

How fast did Newton decide a cannon ball shot out in order to escape Earth’s gravity?
arsen [322]

Plugging in for the Earth's mass and for G, we have 11.2 km/s for the escape velocity for an object launched from the Earth's surface. This is about 25,000 miles per hour

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.

A 5000 kg African elephant has a resting metabolic rate of 2500 W. On a hot day, the elephant's environment is likely to be near
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

36 kg

Explanation:

To answer this question, a few assumptions have to be made:

  • That the temperature on the day is 35 °C
  • That all the heat from the elephant is goes to warming/evaporating the water on the surface of the elephant

Energy released per hour = 2500 J/s * 3600 s = 9 000 000 J

Q = mcΔT

9 000 000 J= m *4.186 J/g-K * (373K - 308K) + m*2260 J/g

m =  36 000 g = 36 kg
