An object having a mass of 2.0 kilograms falls from a height of 15 meters. What is its kinetic energy when it hits the ground?

The path a projectile takes is known as the Question 1 options: vertical component trajectory horizontal component parabola Ques

Firdavs [7]

1. Trajectory

The path a projectile is called a trajectory in physics. It has a vertical component and even makes a parabola, but if we are talking about physics, it is trajectory.

2. A person sitting in a chair

Projectiles can be defined as an object that is in flight. So it has to be in the air. Since a person sitting in a chair is not in flight, then it is NOT a projectile. (Unless you throw the person in the air while he is in the chair)

3. 490 meters

We have the formula and our given:

d = 1/2gt²

Just plug in the values to get your answer:

d = 1/2(-9.8m/s²)(10s)²

d = (-4.9m/s²)(100s²)

d = -490m

So since height is a scalar value, just take out the negative sign.

4. 65 m/s

Again we have our formula and given:

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

So we just plug in our values:

$v=\dfrac{650m}{10s}$

$v=650m/s$

5. True

A projectile, if you will notice its trajectory moves both horizontally and vertically. The horizontal motion is what we call the x-component and the vertical is called the y-component. This is what gives it its' curved path.

6. False

An ellipse is an oval-shaped path. A projectile does not move in a circular/oval path. It travels a curved path. It can be parabolic. It is curved but it does not follow a circular path.

7. The vertical component always equals the horizontal component

This is false. Vertical component is different from the horizontal component. The horizontal component is not influenced by gravity only the vertical component. So in short, the horizontal component is the same throughout, but the vertical component changes over time.

8. Constant

Like mentioned above, the horizontal movement is constant or it does not change. This is because a projectile is defined also as an object that is influenced solely by gravity.

9. Vertical velocity decreases

This is because the movement is against the pull of gravity. It will continue to decrease until it will eventually come to a stop and start to descend. As it descends it increases.

10. Vertical velocity increases

I guess explained it above. As the object descends, the vertical movement increases. This is why you can actually die at certain heights. It increases as the time in flight increases. So the longer in flight, the faster it will get.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh

jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, $F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N$

Distance, $r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m$

(a) $F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$ , q is the charge on the ion

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two ice skaters, each with a mass of 72.0 kg, are skating at 5.45 m/s when they collide and stick together. If the angle between

Rudiy27

Answer:

The skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to go back to the theory of conservation of momentum, specifically in relation to the collision of bodies. In this case both have different addresses, consideration that will be understood later.

By definition it is known that the conservation of the moment is given by:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f$

Our values are given by,

$m_1=m_2=72Kg$

As the skater 1 run in x direction, there is not component in Y direction. Then,

Skate 1:

$v_{x1}=5.45m/s$

$v_{y1}=0$

Skate 2:

$v_{x2} = 5.45*cos105= -1.41m/s$

$v_{y2} = 5.45*sin105 = 5.26m/s$

Then, if we applying the formula in X direction:

m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fx}

75*5.45-75*1.41=(75+75)v_{fx}

Re-arrange and solving for v_{fx}

v_{fx}=\frac{4.04}{2}

v_{fx}=2.02m/s

Now applying the formula in Y direction:

$m_1v_{y1}+m_2v_{y2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fy}$

$0+75*5.25=(75+75)v_{fy}$

$v_{fy}=\frac{5.25}{2}$

$v_{fy}=2.63m/s$

Therefore the skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Explanation:

Writers periodically compete to see who can write the longest sentence in literature. James Joyce long held the English record with a 4,391 word sentence in Ulysses. Jonathan Coe one-uped him in 2001 with a 13,955 word sentence in The Rotter’s Club. More recently, a single-sentence, 469,375 word novel appeared.Writers periodically compete to see who can write the longest sentence in literature.
