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<u> zero</u> when it hits the ground)
<u>0 </u>= 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
Answer:
option B
Explanation:
given,
Satellite B has an orbital radius nine times that of satellite A.
R' = 9 R
now, orbital velocity of the satellite A
........(1)
now, orbital velocity of satellite B
from equation 1
hence, the correct answer is option B
Incomplete Question.The Complete question is
The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants. Mass of the Earth: 5.97 × 10^24 kg (assume a uniform mass distribution) Radius of the Earth: 6371 km Distance of Earth from Sun: 149,600,000 km
(i)Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to rotation about its axis, in joules.
(ii)What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the Sun, in joules?
Answer:
(i) KE= 2.56e29 J
(ii) KE= 2.65e33 J
Explanation:
i) Treating the Earth as a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its axis is
I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.97e24kg * (6.371e6m)²
I = 9.69e37 kg·m²
About its axis,
ω = 2π rads/day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s
ω= 7.27e-5 rad/s,
so its rotational kinetic energy
KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 9.69e37kg·m² * (7.27e-5rad/s)²
KE= 2.56e29 J
(ii) About the sun,
I = mR²
I= 5.97e24kg * (1.496e11m)²
I= 1.336e47 kg·m²
and the angular velocity
ω = 2π rad/yr * 1yr/365.25day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s
ω= 1.99e-7 rad/s
so
KE = ½ * 1.336e47kg·m² * (1.99e-7rad/s)²
KE= 2.65e33 J
