A projectile fired from a gun has initial horizontal and vertical components of velocity equal to 60 m/s and 80 m/s, respectivel
DerKrebs [107]

This question involves the concepts of projectile motion and launch speed.

(a) The initial launch speed of the projectile is "100 m/s".

(b) The launch angle of the projectile is "53.13°".

<h3>(a) LAUNCH SPEED</h3>

A projectile motion is a motion that takes place on both x and y axes, simultaneously. In this motion the initial launch speed is given by the following formula:

v_o=\sqrt{v_{ox}^2+v_{oy}^2}

where,

  • v_o = initial launch speed = ?
  • v_{ox} = horizontal component of initial launch speed = 60 m/s
  • v_{oy} = vertical component of initial launch speed = 80 m/s

Therefore,

v_o = \sqrt{(60\ m/s)^2+(80\ m/s)^2}\\\\v_o = 100 m/s

<h3>(b) LAUNCH ANGLE</h3>

Launch angle is given by th following formula:

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{oy}}{v_{ox}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{80\ m/s}{60\ m/s})\\\\\theta=53.13^o

A ball, initially at rest, reaches a speed of 20 m/s at the bottom of the apparatus. If it takes the ball 10 seconds to reach th
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

2 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 20 m/s

t = 10 s

Find: a

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (20 m/s − 0 m/s) / 10 s

a = 2 m/s²

What is 10^2 in scientific notation?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1×10^2

Explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

Two objects (42.0 and 21.0 kg) are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless, frictionless pulley. The pulley h
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

T = 275 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass m₁ = 42.p0 kg

Mass m₂ = 21.0 kg

Consider both masses to be in a whole system, then:

The acceleration can be determined as:

(m_1+m_2)a = g(m_1-m_2)

Making acceleration the subject in the above formula;

a =\dfrac{g(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(42.0-21.0)}{(42.0+21.0)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(21.0)}{(63.0)}

a =\dfrac{205.8}{(63.0)}

a = 3.27 m/s²

in the string, the tension is calculated using the formula:

T = \dfrac{2m_1m_2g}{(m_1+m_2)}

T = \dfrac{2(42)(21)(9.81)}{(42+21)}

T = \dfrac{17304.84}{63}

T = 274.68 N

T ≅ 275 N

KI + Cl2 ---&gt; KCl + I2<br> Balance the single replacement chemical reaction.
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

2KI   +  Cl₂   →   2KCl     +    I₂

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        KI   +  Cl₂   →    KCl     +    I₂

The problem at hand is to balance this chemical reaction. To solve this problem we use a mathematical approach;

        aKI   +  bCl₂   →    cKCl     +    dI₂

 Conserving K : a = c

                     I :  a  = 2d

                   Cl : 2b = c  

 Now let a = 1, c  = 1 , d  = \frac{1}{2}, b   = \frac{1}{2}, ;

   Multiply through by 2;

             a  = 2, b = 1 , c = 2, d  = 1

 

            2KI   +  Cl₂   →   2KCl     +    I₂
