An apple strikes the ground at a velocity of 16.2 m/s.

The angle between the velocity of the apple and a line normal to the inclined surface is 20 degrees.

The parallel and perpendicular components of its velocity concerning the surface are as follows:

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

This gives us:

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

The velocity along the inclined plane measures 5.5 m/s.

Compressed air is used to fire a 60 g ball vertically upward from a 0.70-m-tall tube. The air exerts an upward force of 3.0 N on
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

2.87 m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball (m) = 60 g = 0.06 kg

Height of the tube (h) = 0.70 m

Force applied on the ball by compressed air (F) = 3.0 N

Initial velocity of the ball (u) = 0 m/s (Assumed)

Final velocity of the ball at the tube's exit (v) =?

Acceleration of the ball (a) =?

The ball's weight is derived from multiplying mass and gravity. Therefore,

Weight (W) = mg=0.06\times 9.8=0.588\ N

Thus, the total force acting on the ball equals the net of upward force minus the weight.

Net force = Air force - Weight

F_{net}=F-mg\\F_{net}=3.0-0.588 = 2.412\ N

According to Newton's second law, net force equals the mass multiplied by acceleration.

F_{net}=ma\\\\a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.412\ N}{0.06\ kg}=40.2\ m/s^2

Acceleration (a) is calculated as 40.2 m/s².

Using the motion equation, we find:

v^2=u^2+2ah\\\\v^2=0+2\times 40.2\times 0.7\\\\v=\sqrt{56.28}=7.5\ m/s

Let’s denote the maximum height achieved as 'H'.

Next, we apply the principle of energy conservation from the pipe's peak to the maximum height.

A decrease in kinetic energy equals an increase in potential energy.

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgH\\\\H=\frac{v^2}{2g}

Substituting the values, we solve for 'H', yielding:

H=\frac{56.28}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=\frac{56.28}{19.6}=2.87\ m

Hence, the ball ascends to a height of 2.87 m above the top of the tube.

a fixed mass of a n ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80C at a constant pressure at 1 atm and again at a constant pressure of 3 atm
inna [987]

Answer:

The required energy remains identical in both scenarios since the specific heat capacity (Cp) does not change with varying pressure.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 °C

final temperature, t₂ = 80 °C

Temperature change, ΔT = 80 °C - 50 °C = 30 °C

Pressure for scenario one = 1 atm

Pressure for scenario two = 3 atm

The energy needed in both scenarios is expressed as;

Q = M*C_p*\delta T

Where;

Cp denotes specific heat capacity, which only varies with temperature and remains unaffected by pressure.

Hence, the energy required remains the same for both scenarios since specific heat capacity (Cp) is pressure-independent.

A scientist is creating a new synthetic material. The material’s density is 6.1 g/cm3. Which sentences describe how the scientis
ValentinkaMS [1149]
Density is defined as the mass divided by the volume.

You can alter the density of a substance by adjusting either its mass or volume.

Increasing the volume while maintaining a constant mass will result in a decrease in density (as the denominator of the fraction increases).

Furthermore, reducing the mass while keeping the volume the same will also lower the density (because the numerator is reduced).

Therefore, to achieve a lower density, you should either reduce the mass or increase the volume, keeping the other constant.

I hope this is helpful.

Use the formula t = (0.25) s1/2 to find the time t in seconds it will take a stone to drop a distance s of 200 feet. Round your
inna [987]

Answer:

The duration, t = 3.53 seconds

Explanation:

The following information is provided:

The equation to calculate the time t is expressed as:

t=(0.25)s^{1/2}...... (1)

Where

s denotes the distance in feet

We are to determine the duration taken by the stone to fall a distance of 200 feet, where s = 200 feet

Substituting the value of s into equation (1) yields:

t=(0.25)\times (200)^{1/2}

t = 3.53 seconds

Thus, the time taken by the object is 3.53 seconds, which provides the required answer.
