Whenever an object is in projectile motion, that is, it has 2-dimensional motion in the x and y axis, the resultant force on the object is in the y-direction.
This is because once the object has been projected, or the ball has been kicked in this case, there is no longer a force being applied on it in the x-direction. The air resistance is also neglected so the ball's final velocity in the x-direction is equal to its initial velocity in the x-direction.
However, the force of gravity cannot be neglected and causes the ball to come downwards. Therefore, after the ball has been projected, the net force on the ball is downwards, due to gravity.
Answer: 1.289 m
Explanation:
The path the cobra's venom follows since it is spitted until it hits the ground, is described by a parabola. Hence, the equations for parabolic motion (which has two components) can be applied to solve this problem:
<u>x-component:
</u>
(1)
Where:
is the horizontal distance traveled by the venom
is the venom's initial speed
is the angle
is the time since the venom is spitted until it hits the ground
<u>y-component:
</u>
(2)
Where:
is the initial height of the venom
is the final height of the venom (when it finally hits the ground)
is the acceleration due gravity
Let's begin with (2) to find the time it takes the complete path:
(3)
Rewritting (3):
(4)
This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form
, which can be solved with the following formula:
(5)
Where:
Substituting the known values:
(6)
Solving (6) we find the positive result is:
(7)
Substituting (7) in (1):
(8)
We finally find the horizontal distance traveled by the venom:
The answer is B. P waves.
I took the test and it was correct. I hope this helps!
Yes. It's (speed squared)/(radius of the circle).
Answer:
10.0 N West
Explanation:
Imagine East is positive and West is negative. Essentially now we have 2 forces pulling opposite each other on the same plane, so we can add them up.
F1=20N
F2=-30N
F1+F2=Net Force
20+(-30)=-10
Therefore the Net Force is 10N West.
