A rocket-launching vehicle is moving forward at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. a cannon on the vehicle shoots a shell straight up

with a velocity of 20 m/s. the shell moves without friction, (no air resistance). how high does the shell go, in m?

For any object thrown upwards where only the force of gravity is acting upon it, uses the following formula for the maximum height attained.

H= v²/2g, where g = 9.81 m/s²

There are two information of velocities are given. However, we use the 20 m/s information because this is the launch velocity. Hence, the solution is as follows:

H = (20 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²)
<em>H = 20.4 m</em>

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running
crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

A proposed communication satellite would revolve around the earth in a circular orbit in the equatorial plane at a height of 358
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Period is 86811.5 seconds.

Explanation:

{ \boxed{ \bf{T {}^{2} =  (\frac{4 {\pi}^{2} }{GM}) {r}^{3}   }}}

{ \tt{T {}^{2}  =  \frac{4 {(3.14)}^{2} }{(6.6 \times  {10}^{ - 11} ) \times (5.98 \times  {10}^{24} )} \times  {((35880\times  {10}^{3}) } + (6370 \times  {10}^{3} )) {}^{3}   }} \\  \\ { \tt{T {}^{2}  =  7.54 \times {10}^{9} }} \\ { \tt{T =  \sqrt{7.54 \times  {10}^{9} } }} \\ { \tt{T = 86811.5 \: seconds}}

Torque can be best described as which of the following? Give an example of both a force and a torque and explain why in a couple
kicyunya [14]

Answer: rotational force

Explanation:

Torque is the twisting force which cause rotation and the axis of rotation is the point at which the object rotates.

Torque is a rotational force as it leads to the rotation of an object about an axis. Force simply means a pull or push. When an unbalanced ball acts on a force, the ball, the ball will be moved towards the linear motion.

Then, the unbalanced force that is acting in the ball produces torque which causes the ball's rotational motion.

How far will a 600 kg boat travel in 10 s if there is a constant 900 N force on it and it starts from rest?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

here

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the skydiver - gravity (down) and air resistance (up). The force of gravity has a magnitude of m•g = (72 kg) •(9.8 m/s/s) = 706 N. ... a 3.25-kg object rightward with a constant acceleration of 1.20 m/s/s if the force of ... of 33.8 kg, how far (in meters) will it move in 1.31 seconds, starting from rest?
