Answer:

the answers, the correct one is A   v= 22.5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the concepts of conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Lowest point of the trajectory

       Em₀ = K = ½ m v₀²

Final point. When it is at a height of y = 20 m

       Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

     

how energy is conserved

         Emo = Emf

         ½ m v₀² = ½ m v² + m g y

         v² = v₀² + 2 g y

 

let's calculate

         v²2 = 30 2 + 2 9.8 20

         v² = 508

         v²= ra 508

         v² = 22.54 m / s

When checking the answers, the correct one is A

Which part of the earth do the suns direct rays hit during the summer solstice
sergey [27]
The sun is at the solstices on roughly June 21 and December 21.

June 21 is the "Summer" solstice in the Northern hemisphere.
At that time, the sun is directly overhead at a point on the Tropic
of Cancer, about 23.5° North of the equator.

December 21 is the "Summer" solstice in the Southern hemisphere.
At that time, the sun is directly overhead at a point on the Tropic
of Capricorn, about 23.5° South of the equator.

What evidence did Galileo use to prove the heliocentric model?
mel-nik [20]
<span>Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to use a telescope to study the heavens. Galileo made a number of observations that finally helped convince people that the Sun-centered solar system model (the heliocentric model), as proposed by Copernicus, was correct. These arguments can be divided into two kinds: Those that proved that the Ptolemaic model was incorrect and those that undermined the broader philosophy of Aristotelianism that included the Ptolemaic model. We'll first consider some philosophically important observations and then the ones that pro</span>

Which scientist continued the work of another while studying the elliptical path of planets? Name both scientists. Kepler advanc
Korolek [52]
This question is so vague as to render it useless.

I suspect the answer they're looking for is Kepler advanced Copernicus's work as is stated. but the way science works is that anyone who has contributed will have their work built on. for example, Newton advanced Kepler's work on the elliptical path of planets as Einstein advanced Newton's work.
