For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.

For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How long does it take for the ball to reach the goal?

Let the distance between the kicker and the goal be x meters.

Horizontal velocity of the ball will always be 26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree} until it lands if there's no air resistance.

The ball will arrive at the goal in \displaystyle \frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}} seconds after it leaves the kicker.

What will be the height of the ball when it reaches the goal?

Consider the equation

\displaystyle h(t) = -\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} + v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} \cdot t + h_0.

For this soccer ball:

  • g = 9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2},
  • v_{0,\;\text{vertical}} = 26.2\times \sin{34.2\textdegree{}}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2},
  • h_0 = 0 since the player kicks the ball "from ground level."

\displaystyle t=\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}}

when the ball reaches the goal.

\displaystyle h= - 9.81 \times \frac{x^2}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2} + (26.2 \times \sin{34.2\textdegree})\times\frac{x}{26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree}} \\\phantom{h} = -\frac{9.81}{(26.2\times\cos{34.2\textdegree})^2}\cdot x^{2} + \frac{\sin{34.2\textdegree}}{\cos{34.2\textdegree}}\cdot x.

Solve this quadratic equation for x, x > 0.

  • x = 65.1 meters when h = 0 meters.
  • x = 6.54 or 58.5 meters when h = 4 meters.

In other words,

  • For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.
  • For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.

The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cm-diameter, 8-cm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 T. To produce the same field
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

N = 3032  turns

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a solenoid is described by

        B = μ₀ n I

Where is the permittivity in a vacuum with a value of 4π 10⁻⁷ N /A²,  n  is the turn density and I the current

Let's apply this equation to the problem, the turn density is the number of turns per unit length, in this case it is the same magnet length

       L = 8 cm = 0.08 m

Let's calculate

      B = μ₀ N/L   I

      N = B L / μ₀ I

      N = 0.10 0.08 / (4π 10⁻⁷  2.1)

      N = 3,032 103 turns

Assume the earth to be a nonrotating sphere with mass MEME and radius RERE. If an astronaut weights WW on the ground, what is hi
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The weight at a distance 2 RE from surface of earth is <em>W/9</em>

Explanation:

For the value of acceleration due to gravity (g), we have a formula, that is:

g = (G)(ME)/(RE)²    ----- equation (1)

where,

G = Gravitational Constant

ME = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

g = Acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth = 9.8 ms²

When the person goes 2RE, distance above earth's surface. Then the total distance from center of earth becomes: 2RE + RE = 3RE.

Therefore, equation (1) becomes:

gh = (G)(ME)/(3RE)²

where,

gh = acceleration due to gravity at height

gh = (G)(ME)/(RE)²9

using equation (1), we get:

gh = g/9

Now, he weight is given by formula:

W = mg   ------- equation (2)

At height 2RE

Wh = (m)(gh)

where,

Wh = Weight at height = ?

m = mass of astronaut

Therefore, using vale of gh, we get:

Wh = mg/9

Using equation (2), we get:

<u>Wh = W/9</u>

The object is called a meteor because it is producing Streak of light  and has not yet struck earth.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A meteoroid is a celestial object which is very smaller than an asteroid. These objects are produced as a collision impact from mars or moon and float freely in space without any specific orbit. When they come inside the Earth's gravitational field, they are attracted by the Earth's gravity to Earth's crust. These objects in Earth's atmosphere are called meteors. As they travel through Earth's atmosphere, they do face a huge friction from Earth's atmosphere which let them burn and that is visible as the tail of the meteor.

Most of them are so small that they are burnt away in the atmosphere. But some are bigger and they reach the Earth's surface and are called as meteorites.

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas
jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
