A ball is tossed from an upper-story window of a building. the ball is given an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 20.0

8 below the horizontal. it strikes the ground 3.00 s later. (a) how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? (b) find the height from which the ball was thrown. (c) how long does it take the ball to reach a point 10.0 m below the level of launching?

A) The motion of the ball consists of two indipendent motions on the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. The laws of motion in the two directions are:
x(t)=v_0 \cos \alpha t
y(t)=h-v_0 \sin \alpha t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where
- the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant speed v_0 \cos \alpha, where v_0 = 8.00 m/s and \alpha=20.0^{\circ}
- the vertical motion is an uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2, initial position h (the height of the building) and initial vertical velocity v_0 \sin \alpha (with a negative sign, since it points downwards)

The ball strikes the ground after a time t=3.00 s, so we can find the distance covered horizontally by the ball by substituting t=3.00 s into the equation of x(t):
x(3.00 s)=v_0 \cos \alpha t=(8 m/s)(\cos 20^{\circ})(3.0 s)=22.6 m

b) To find the height from which the ball was thrown, h, we must substitute t=3.00 s into the equation of y(t), and requiring that y(3.00 s)=0 (in fact, after 3 seconds the ball reaches the ground, so its vertical position y(t) is zero). Therefore, we have:
0=h-v_0 \sin \alpha t -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
which becomes
h=(8 m/s)(\sin 20^{\circ})(3.0 s)+ \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(3.0 s)^2=52.3 m

c) We want the ball to reach a point 10.0 meters below the level of launching, so we want to find the time t such that 
y(t)=h-10
If we substitute this into the equation of y(t), we have
h-10 = h-v_0 \sin \alpha t-  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_0 \sin \alpha t -10 =0
4.9 t^2 +2.74 t-10 =0
whose solution is t=1.18 s (the other solution is negative, so it has no physical meaning). Therefore, the ball reaches a point 10 meters below the level of launching after 1.18 s.

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C

How do you double the speed in physics
Mariulka [41]

You measure the open distance between the floor and the bottom surface of the gas pedal.  Then you press the gas pedal down 1/2 of that distance.

What is the net work doneon the object over the distance shown?
GuDViN [60]

A)F_0d

Explanation

If you graph the force on an object as a function of the position of that object, then the area under the curve will equal the work done on that object, so we need to find the area under the function to find the work

Step 1

find the area under the function.

so

Area:

\text{Area}=rec\tan gle_{green}+triangle_{gren}-triangle_{red}\begin{gathered} \text{the area of a rectangle is given by} \\ A_{rec}=lenght\cdot widht \\ \text{and} \\ \text{the area of a triangle is given by:} \\ A_{tr}=\frac{base\cdot height}{2} \end{gathered}

so

\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=rec\tan gle_{green}+triangle_{gren}-triangle_{red} \\ \text{replace} \\ \text{Area}=(F_0\cdot d)+\frac{(F_0\cdot d)}{2}-\frac{(F_0\cdot d)}{2} \\ \text{Area}=(F_0\cdot d) \\ Area=F_0d \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

A)F_0d

I hope this helps you
