Answer:
Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction
Explanation:
The projectile motion is described by the kinematics equations giving a parabolic trajectory, where on the x axis there is no acceleration and on the y axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.
When the air resistance is taken into account it can be approximated as a force that opposes the movement that for low speeds is proportional to the speed of the space.
Consequently, the movement in the axis and the acceleration is less, in some cases it can be so small that the constant handle speed, in this case, is called terminal velocity.
On the x-axis the friction force creates an acceleration in the negative direction of the movement that the projectile has to brake.
Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction.
Answer:
a. 12,600 N
b. 1290 kg
Explanation:
a. Impulse = change in momentum
F Δt = m Δv
F (0.192 s) = (59 kg) (0 m/s − 41 m/s)
F = -12,600 N
b. F = mg
12,600 N = m (9.8 m/s²)
m = 1290 kg (or 2,830 lbs)
Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs
Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction
now we know that
a=-9.81 m/s^2 ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)
we also know that
s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)
using kinetic equation
where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial
hence
now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent
using quadratic formula
t=0.0409 sec
the answer for the part b will be the same
To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using
where s=0.76-0.15
as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom
when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861
hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is
t=0.0409
Answer:
Natural selection is a simple mechanism that causes populations of living things to change over time. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.
