Answer:

86.4 m horizontal from landing spot

Explanation:

Find out how long before the ball hits the ground

vertical speed of ball = -2 m/s gravity = - 9.81 m/s^2

find time to hit ground from 100 m

( height will be zero when it hits the ground)

0 = 100 - 2 t - 1/2 ( 9.81) t^2

use Quadratic Formula to find t = 4.32 seconds

horizontal speed of ball = 20 m/s

in 4.32 seconds it will travel horizontally 20 m/s * 4.32 s = 86.4 m

A box of mass 26 kg is initially at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$\Delta K = 52J$

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies: $\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.

For our case then we have:

$\Delta K = K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2}$

Which for our values is:

$\Delta K = \frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2} = \frac{(26Kg)((2m/s)^2-(0m/s)^2)}{2} = 52J$

What force is most responsible for the path of an object during projectile motion?

Levart [38]

The gravitational force.

In fact, the motion of the projectile is composed by two independent motions:
- on the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion (with constant speed)
- on the vertical direction, it is a uniformly accelerated motion, where the vertical acceleration g is given by the gravity exerted by the Earth on the projectile.

For this reason, the composition of the two motions results in a parabolic trajectory.
