a golf ball is hit with a velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 25 degrees about the horizontal. how long is the ball in the air a
Pie
Ok so use trigonometry to work out the vertical component of velocity.

sin(25) =opp/hyp
rearrange to:
30*sin(25) which equals 12.67ms^-1

now use SUVAT to get the time of flight from the vertical component,

V=U+at

Where V is velocity, U is the initial velocity, a is acceleration due to gravity or g. and t is the time.

rearranges to t= (V+u)/a

plug in some numbers and do some maths and we get 2.583s

this is the total air time of the golf ball.

now we can use Pythagoras to get the horizontal component of velocity.

30^2-12.67^2= 739.29
sqrt739.29 = 27.19ms^-1

and finally speed = distance/time

so--- 27.19ms^-1*2.583s= 70.24m

The ball makes it to the green, and the air time is 2.58s

3.Three resistors of 25.0Ω, 30.0Ω, and 40.0Ω are in a series circuit with a 6.0-volt battery. What is the current in the circuit
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Current = 0.063 Amperes

Explanation:

Let the three resistors be R1, R2, and R3 respectively.

Given the following data;

R1 = 25.0Ω,

R2 = 30.0Ω

R3 = 40.0Ω

Voltage = 6 Volts

First of all, we would determine the equivalent or total resistance;

Total resistance (in series) = R1 + R2 + R3

Total resistance = 25.0Ω + 30.0Ω + 40.0Ω

Total resistance = 95 Ω

Next, we find the current flowing through the circuit;

Voltage = current * resistance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6 = current * 95

Current = 6/95

Current = 0.063 Amperes

A ball with a weight of 2 N is attached to the end of a cord of length 2m . The ball is whirl in a vertical circle counterclockw
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.

Explanation:

Weight of the ball is given as

W = 2N

so we have

m = \frac{W}{g}

m = 0.204 kg

now tension force at the top is given as

T_{top} = 7 N

T_{bottom} = 15 N

Now at the top position by force equation we can say that ball will have two downwards forces

1) Tension force

2) Weight of the ball

so net force on the ball is given as

F_{net} = T + W

F_{net} = 7 + 2 = 9 N

So we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.
