Andrew kicks a ball along a straight path. The ball rolls straight forward for 13.2 meters. Then Andrew kicks the ball straight

tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 22.7 meters

Explanation: The distance traveled is how much the ball has rolled in total, this means the lenght of the path that it has followed from begining to end.

Since it first travels 13.2 meters and then 9.5 meters, if we sum this quantities:

13.2 + 9.5 = 22.7 meters

So 22.7 is the distance that the ball has traveled.

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b

guapka [62]

<h2>Answer: (a)t=0.553s, (b)x=110.656m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the bullet has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=200m/s$ is the bullet's initial speed

$\theta=0$ because we are told the bullet is shot horizontally

$t$ is the time since the bullet is shot until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=1.5m$ is the initial height of the bullet

$y=0$ is the final height of the bullet (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Now, for the first part of this problem, the time the bullet elapsed traveling, we will use equation (2) with the conditions given above:

$0=1.5m+200m/s.sin(0) t-\frac{9.8m/s^{2}.t^{2}}{2}$ (3)

$0=1.5m-\frac{9.8m/s^{2}.t^{2}}{2}$ (4)

Finding $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{1.5m(2)}{9.8m/s^{2}}}$ (5)

Then we have the time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground:

$t=0.553s$ (6)

For the second part of this problem, we are asked to find how far does the bullet traveled horizontally. This means we have to use the equation (1) related to the x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Substituting the knonw values and the value of $t$ found in (6):

$x=200m/s.cos(0)(0.553s)$ (7)

$x=200m/s(0.553s)$ (8)

Finally:

$x=110.656m$

A person with a mass of 72 kg is riding a bicycle is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s on a horizontal surface. What is the weight

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

w = 706.32 [N]

Explanation:

The force due to gravitational acceleration can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Then we have:

$w = 72*9.81\\w = 706.32 [N]$

Speed is velocity in a given direction<br> O True<br> O False

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Velocity = speed with direction.

Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.

Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.

Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.
