At time t, the ball's horizontal and vertical velocities can be represented as

v_x=v_{xi}

v_y=v_{yi}-gt

However, since the ball is thrown horizontally, we have v_{yi}=0. The horizontal and vertical positions at time t are

x=v_{xi}t

y=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

The ball travels a distance of 22 m horizontally from the throw point, thus

22\,\mathrm m=v_{xi}t

With this, we determine that the time for the ball to reach the ground is

t=\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}

When it touches down, y=0 and

0=20.0\,\mathrm m-\dfrac{9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}2\left(\dfrac{22\,\rm m}{v_{xi}}\right)^2

\implies v_i=v_{xi}=11\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

A table tennis ball with a mass of 0.003 kg and a soccer ball with a mass of 0.43 kg or both Serta name motion at 16 M/S calcula
Maru [3267]
To begin, let's state the facts: the tennis ball weighs 0.003 kg, while the soccer ball weighs 0.43 kg, and both are moving at the same speed of 16 m/s. The formula for momentum is P=MV where P stands for Momentum, M for Mass, and V for Velocity. Now, let's calculate the momentum for the tennis ball. Pt=0.003 x 16 m/s= (    kg-m/s ). I denote tennis ball momentum with a subscript "t." For the soccer ball, the momentum is Ps= 0.43 x 16 m/s = (      km-m/s). When we assess the momentum between the two balls, the heavier one will typically exhibit more momentum owing to its greater mass, unless the tennis ball, having less mass, achieves a higher velocity to match or exceed the momentum of the soccer ball.

Let v1, , vk be vectors, and suppose that a point mass of m1, , mk is located at the tip of each vector. The center of mass for
Softa [2948]

Answer:

Explanation:

The center of mass is defined as

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Where i= 1,2,3,4.....

M = m1+m2+m3 +....

x refers to the position of the mass (x, y)

Now,

Provided that,

u1 = (−1, 0, 2) (mass 3 kg),

m1 = 3kg and its position x1 = (-1,0,2)

u2 = (2, 1, −3) (mass 1 kg),

m2 = 1kg and its position x2 = (2,1,-3)

u3 = (0, 4, 3) (mass 2 kg),

m3 = 2kg and its position x3 = (0,4,3)

u4 = (5, 2, 0) (mass 5 kg)

m4 = 5kg and its position x4 = (5,2,0)

Now, applying the center of mass formula

Xcm = (Σmi•xi) / M

Xcm = (m1•x1+m2•x2+m3•x3+m4•x4) / (m1+m2+m3+m4)

Xcm = [3(-1, 0, 2) +1(2, 1, -3)+2(0, 4, 3)+ 5(5, 2, 0)]/(3 + 1 + 2 + 5)

Xcm = [(-3, 0, 6)+(2, 1, -3)+(0, 8, 6)+(25, 10, 0)] / 11

Xcm = (-3+2+0+25, 0+1+8+10, 6-3+6+0) / 11

Xcm = (24, 19, 9) / 11

Xcm = (2.2, 1.7, 0.8) m

This calculates the center of mass as required

On a horizontal frictionless surface a mass M is attached to two light elastic strings both having length l and both made of the
Yuliya22 [3234]

Answer:

ω = √(2T / (mL))

Explanation:

(a) Create a free body diagram for the mass. There are two tension forces at play, one acting downwards and to the left, while the other acts downwards and to the right.

The horizontal components of the tensions cancel each other, resulting in a net force directed vertically:

∑F = -2T sin θ, with θ representing the angle from the horizontal.

For small angles, we can assume sin θ ≈ tan θ.

Thus, we have: ∑F = -2T tan θ

and ∑F = -2T (Δy / L)

(b) In the case of a spring, the restoring force is defined as F = -kx, and the frequency is given by ω = √(k/m). (This is derived from solving a second order differential equation.) In this instance, k = 2T/L, thus the frequency can be expressed as:

ω = √((2T/L) / m)

ω = √(2T / (mL))

Carts A and B are identical and are moving toward each other on a track. The speed of cart A is v, while the speed of cart B is
serg [3485]
k= \frac{5mv^{2} }{2}

To find kinetic energy, we use the following formula:

k = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

where k represents kinetic energy (measured in joules), m is the object's mass (in kg), and v signifies the object's velocity (in m/s). For cart A, we denote the mass as

and the velocity as

translating to the kinetic energy of cart A. Hence, K.E_{a} = \frac{m_{a}v^{2} }{2}

For cart B, we define the mass as

and the velocity as 2v leading to the kinetic energy of cart B. Thus, K.E_{b} = \frac{m_{b}(2v^{2}) }{2} = 2m_{b} v^{2}

Considering that both carts are the same, it follows they possess identical mass, i.e., m_{a} = m_{b} = m. Therefore, the total kinetic energy K comprises the sum of the kinetic energies of cart A and cart B.
