A 0.75 kg rock is projected from the edge of the top of a building with an initial velocity of 11.9 m/s at an angle 59◦ above th

e horizontal. The building is 14.2 m in height. At what horizontal distance, x, from the base of the building will the rock strike the ground? Assume the ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
Answer in units of m.

Answer:

12.76 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 11.9 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 59°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Horizontal distance (i.e Range) (R) =?

The horizontal distance other wise known as range from the base of the building to which the rock will strike the ground can be obtained as follow:

R = u²Sine2θ / g

R = 11.9² × Sine (2×59) / 9.8

R = 141.61 × Sine 118 / 9.8

R = 12.76 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance from the base of the building to which the rock will strike the ground is 12.76 m

What is work done aganist gravity?​
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

You're Welcome.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the north end to the south end.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Magnetic field lines from a bar magnet form lines that are closed. The direction of magnetic field is taken to be outward from the North pole of the magnet and in to the South pole of the magnet.
  • A magnetic field refers to  the area surrounding a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects. These lines are spread out of the north end of the magnet.
  • The magnetic field lines resemble a bubble.

A hawk leaves its nest in Fort Worth and travels 3,000 meters east. After snacking on a tasty rodent the hawk flies another 1,50
Paha777 [63]
I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance =  Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m

An electric field of 280000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -
nordsb [41]
<h2>The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Electric field, E = 280000 N/C

Charge, q = -7.9 C

We have

                 E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\280000=\frac{F}{7.9}\\\\F=280000\times 7.9\\\\F=2.21\times 10^6N

The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.
