Answer:

The time taken for the paint ball to hit the ground is t =  2.143 \ s

The distance of the landing point from the tower is d = 192.86 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the tower is h =  45 \ m

    The speed of the paintball in the horizontal direction is  v_x =  90 \  m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      h =  ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here u is the initial  velocity of the paintball in the vertical direction and the value is 0 m/s , this because the ball was fired horizontally

         a is equivalent to g  = 9.8\ m/s^2

        t is the time taken for the paintball to hit the ground

   So    

       45  =  0* t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>    t =  2.143 \ s

Generally the distance of its landing position from the tower is

         d = v  *  t

=>      d = 90 *  2.143

=>    d = 192.86 \  m

Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a
Naily [24]

Answer:

So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson

Explanation:

As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it

So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system

now we have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero

now we have

34 v + 54 (3 m/s) = 0

v = -4.76 m/s

A thin ribbon of magnesium burns in the air creating a really bright light. When it is finished burning, there is only a powder
nataly862011 [7]
The B) the white powder is a combination of magnesium and something in the air option best explains where the white powder came from. The thin ribbon of magnesium creates energy and magnesium oxide when it burned in the air and the white powder stated above is the magnesium oxide. This reaction is an example of exothermic reaction

What dose a horizontal line on a distance-time graph mean?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

A horizontal line means the object is not changing its position - it is not moving, it is at rest. • A downward sloping line means the object is returning to the start. SPEED-TIME GRAPHS. Speed-Time graphs are also called Velocity Time graphs.

A 25kg object moves from left to right at a speed of 30km/h. What net force is required to keep this object moving in a straight
Rama09 [41]

Explanation:

Note that from Newton's law of motion:

the sum of the positive horizontal forces on an object equals the sum of the negative horizontal forces therefore, the net force on the object is zero.

Also, velocity is constant, acceleration is zero.

F = m × a

= 0 N

What are the forces acting on the car driving to the left?
pashok25 [27]

Many students of physics do not believe in centripetal ("inwards") forces. Even after completion of a thorough physics course, such students will still incorrectly believe that an object moving in a circle experiences an outward force. Perhaps the reason for adhering to this misconception stems from their experiences with riding as a passenger in automobiles and amusement park rides.

Imagine that you are a passenger in a car which is making a right-hand turn. As the car begins to take the turn to the right, you often feel as though you are sliding to the left. The car is turning to the right due to the inward force, yet you feel as though you are being forced leftward or outward. In actuality, the car is beginning its turning motion (to the right) while you continue in a straight line path. This motion can be better understood by examining the animation below.

Observe in the animation that the passenger (in blue) continues in a straight-line motion for a short period of time after the car begins to make its turn. In fact, the passenger follows a straight-line path until striking the shoulder of the driver (in red). Once striking the driver, a force is applied to the passenger to force the passenger to the right and thus complete the turn.

An inward net force is required to make a turn in a circle. This inward net force requirement is known as a centripetal force requirement. In the absence of any net force, an object in motion (such as the passenger) continues in motion in a straight line at constant speed. This is Newton's first law of motion. While the car begins to make the turn, the passenger and the seat begin to edge rightward. In a sense, the car is beginning to slide out from under the passenger. Once striking the driver, the passenger can now turn with the car and experience some circle-like motion. There is never any outward force exerted upon the passenger. The passenger is either moving straight ahead in the absence of a force or moving along a circular path in the presence of an inward-directed force.
