Answer:

129.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Vo = 150 m/s

θ = 30°

g = 10 m/s²

To find the horizontal component, Vx = Vo cos θ

= 150 × cos 30

= 150 × 0.866

= 129.9 m/s.

Answer:

130 m/s (to two significant figures)

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the launching velocity and launch angle help to determine both the horizontal and vertical velocity components.

u represents the initial projectile velocity = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

A projectile's motion can be viewed as made up of independent vertical and horizontal elements.

The vertical motion is affected by gravitational acceleration (which pulls down on the projectile), altering the vertical velocity component due to this acting force.

Conversely, there is no acting force in the horizontal direction, which means the horizontal component maintains a steady velocity throughout the projectile's flight.

Thus, at t = 4 s, the horizontal component of the projectile's speed remains equal to the initial horizontal velocity component.

At t = 4 s, the horizontal component of velocity is uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s ≈ 130 m/s

Yuliya22 [3333]
Refer to the diagram below.

Ignoring air resistance, use gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s².

The pole vaulter drops with an initial vertical speed u = 0.
At impact with the pad, velocity v satisfies:
v² = 2 × (9.8 m/s²) × (4.2 m) = 82.32 (m/s)²
v = 9.037 m/s

As the pad compresses by 0.5 m to bring the vaulter to rest,
let the average acceleration (deceleration) be a m/s². Then:
0 = (9.037 m/s)² + 2 × a × 0.5 m
Solving for a gives:
a = - 82.32 / (2 × 0.5) = -82 m/s²

Thus, the deceleration magnitude is 82 m/s².

ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

The electric potential energy U is calculated with the formula U = kq₁q₂/r, where q₁ = 5 nC (5 × 10⁻⁹ C) and q₂ = -2 nC (-2 × 10⁻⁹ C) and r is determined as √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² + (0 - 0)² = x - 2. This leads to U = -0.5 µJ (-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J), where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

Thus, solving for r gives us r = kq₁q₂/U

which leads to x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U

Then, rearranging gives x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m

So, x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

Resulting in x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

This simplifies to x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m, or 20 cm

A 25kg child sits on one end of a 2m see saw. How far from the pivot point should a rock of 50kg be placed on the other side of
Sav [3153]

Answer:

A rock weighing 50kg should be positioned at a distance of 0.5m from the pivot of the seesaw.

Explanation:

τchild=τrock  

We will utilize the formula for torque:

(F)child(d)child)=(F)rock(d)rock)

The gravitational force acts equally on both objects.

(m)childg(d)child)=(m)rockg(d)rock)

We can eliminate gravity from both sides of the equation for simplification.

 (m)child(d)child)=(m)rock(d)rock)  

Now employing the given masses for the rock and child. The seesaw's total length is 2 meters, with the child sitting at one end, placing them 1 meter from the center of the seesaw.

(25kg)(1m)=(50kg)drock

Solve for the distance where the rock should be positioned in relation to the seesaw's center.

drock=25kg⋅m50kg

drock=0.5m
