Answer: 24.24 m

Explanation:

A player launches a football 50.0 m at an angle of 61° to the north of west. We will break this down into vertical and horizontal elements.

Horizontal component: 50 cos 61° = 24.24 m directed westward

Vertical component: 50 sin 61° = 43.73 m directed toward the north.

Refer to the diagram below.

Therefore, the westward displacement of the football corresponds to the horizontal component of the displacement, which is 24.24 m.

<span>We will apply the momentum-impulse theorem here. The total momentum along the x-direction is defined as p_(f) = p_(1) + p_(2) + p_(3) = 0.
Therefore, p_(1x) = m1v1 = 0.2 * 2 = 0.4. Additionally, p_(2x) = m2v2 = 0 and p_(3x) = m3v3 = 0.1 *v3, where v3 represents the unknown speed and m3 signifies the mass of the third object, which has an unspecified velocity.
In the same way, for the particle of 235g, the y-component of the total momentum is described with p_(fy) = p_(1y) + p_(2y) + p_(3y) = 0.
Thus, p_(1y) = 0, p_(2y) = m2v2 = 0.235 * 1.5 = 0.3525 and p_(3y) = m3v3 = 0.1 * v3, where m3 is the mass of the third piece.
Consequently, p_(fx) = p_(1x) + p_(2x) + p_(3x) = 0.4 + 0.1v3; yielding v3 = 0.4/-0.1 = - 4.
Similarly, p_(fy) = 0.3525 + 0.1v3; thus v3 = - 0.3525/0.1 = -3.525.
Therefore, the x-component of the speed of the third piece is v_3x = -4 and the y-component is v_3y = 3.525.
The overall speed is calculated as follows: resultant = âš (-4)^2 + (-3.525)^2 = 5.335</span>

A hard rubber rod with an electric potential energy of 5.2 × 10–3 J has a charge of 4.0 µC at the tip. What is the electric pote
Keith_Richards [3271]
1) The electric potential energy can be defined as the product of the electric potential and the associated charge:
U=q V
where
q refers to the charge
V denotes the electric potential

In this scenario, the charge on the rod is q=4.0 \mu C = 4.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C, and the potential energy is U=5.2 \cdot 10^{-3} J, thus we may rearrange the earlier formula to find the electric potential at the tip:
V= \frac{U}{q}= \frac{5.2 \cdot 10^{-3}J}{4.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C}=1300 V=1.3 \cdot 10^3 V

2) Using this same formula, if the charge changes to q=2.0 \mu C = 2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C, the resulting electric potential will be:
V= \frac{U}{q}= \frac{5.2 \cdot 10^{-3} J}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-6}C}=2600 V = 2.6 \cdot 10^{3}V

Softa [3030]
J(r) = Br. We know that the area of a small segment, dA, is represented as 2 π dr. Thus, I = J A and dI = J dA. Plugging in the values gives us dI = B r. 2 π dr which simplifies to dI= 2π Br² dr. Now, integrating the above equation: Given that B= 2.35 x 10⁵ A/m³, with r₁ = 2 mm and r₂ equal to 2 + 0.0115 mm, or 2.0115 mm.

A person who weighs 625 N is riding a 98-N mountain bike. Suppose that the entire weight of the rider and bike is supported equa
Keith_Richards [3271]

Answer:

A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Explanation:

Given data:

Person's weight = 625 N

Bike's weight = 98 N

Pressure per tire = 7.60 x 10⁵ Pa

Find: Contact area per tire

Total system weight = 625 + 98 = 723 N

Let F represent the force supported by each tire

2F = 723 N

Therefore, F = 361.5 N

Using the formula F = P × A

A = \dfrac{F}{P}

A = \dfrac{361.5}{7.60 \times 10^5}

Contact area, A = 4.76 x 10⁻⁴ m²
