A tennis player standing 12.6 m from the net hits the ball at 3.18° above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must rise a

t least 0.362 m. If the ball just clears the net at the apex of its trajectory, how fast was the ball moving when it left the racket?

At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m.
So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY.......
We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction.
IN Y DIRECTION:
v² = u² + 2as
0 = u² - 2gh
u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end)
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity)
So rearranging,
velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3°
= √(2gh)/sin 3°
= (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3°
= 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

The average net force will be the resultant force of the average forces of both vehicles. On collision, they'll both experience the same impact force, but the deceleration and deformation felt by the individual vehicle will be proportional to the mass of the vehicle. This is why it will seem like the car will have more force but is not actually so.

Because the velocity of an object depends on 18. ___________________________ as well as 19. ___________________________, the vel
cluponka [151]

Answer:

18. Direction.

19. Speed.

20. Speed.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Because the velocity of an object depends on direction as well as speed, the velocity of an object can change even as the speed of the object remains constant. Thus, the velocity would change only when the direction or speed of the object changes.

How do I solve this question
babunello [35]

Newton would not agree with that explanation, and he would tell my brother to go to his room.  Then Newton would turn to me and explain:

Once the soccer ball is in motion, it will continue moving in a straight line with constant speed, until external forces change its motion. (Newton's #1 Law of Motion).

There are external forces on the soccer ball after the kick:  gravity, air resistance, and scraping through grass.

Gravity has no effect on its horizontal motion.  But air resistance and scraping through grass are both friction ... they both rob kinetic energy from the ball.  Once the kinetic energy of the ball is all gone, it doesn't move any more.  An observer looking at the ball and measuring its motion would write in his notebook "The ball has stopped." .

A rock is at the top of a 20 meter tall hill. The rock has a mass of 10 kg. How much potential energy does it have?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

<h2>1960 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

PE = 10 × 9.8 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>1960 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
