A body is projected upward at an angle of 30 degree to the horizontal at an initial speed of 200ms-.In how many seconds will it
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

20.41 s

3534.80 m

Explanation:

<em><u>In how many seconds will it reach the ground?</u></em>

We are given the initial velocity of the body, which is 200 m/s at a 30° angle.

We know the acceleration in the vertical direction is -9.8 m/s², assuming that the upwards/right direction is positive and the downwards/left direction is negative.

Since we are using acceleration in the y-direction, let's use the vertical component of the initial velocity.

  • 200 · sin(30) m/s

Let's use the fact that at the top of its trajectory, the body will have a final velocity of 0 m/s.

Now we have one missing variable that we are trying to solve for: time t.

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains v₀, v, a, and t.

  • v = v₀ + at

Substitute known values into the equation.

  • 0 = 200 · sin(30) + (-9.8)t
  • -200 · sin(30) = -9.8t
  • t = 10.20408163

Recall that this is only half of the body's trajectory, so we need to double the time value we found to find the total time the body is in the air.

  • 2t = 20.40816327

The body will reach the ground in 20.41 seconds.

<em><u>How far from the point of projection would it strike? </u></em>

We want to find the displacement in the x-direction for the body.

Let's find the constant acceleration equation that contains time t, that we just found, and displacement (Δx).

  • Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²

Substitute known values into the equation. Remember that we want to use the horizontal component of the initial velocity and that the acceleration in the x-direction is 0 m/s².

  • Δx = (200 · cos(30) · 20.40816327) + 1/2(0)(20.40816327)²
  • Δx = 3534.797567

The body will strike 3534.80 m from the point of projection.

You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

4.325\times10^6J

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of \theta=17^o

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = 260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = \frac{1}{2} mv^2). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh = 5800\times9.81\times76.0166J=4.325\times10^6J

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation

Which letter correctly identifies the part of the hydrologic cycle that is most directly affected by impervious building materia
masha68 [24]

Infiltration

Explanation:

The component of the hydrologic cycle affected by impervious building such as concrete and asphalt is infiltration.

  • Water infiltration is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.
  • Concretes and other materials can prevent water from going down into the earth.
  • This affects the ground water system in place.
  • It leads to increase in surface run off and might cause inundation of an area.
  • Infiltration is a very important component of water cycle.
  • It takes water to plant root and recharges groundwater systems.
  • Impervious structures takes this capability away.

A lever has a 36cm input arm and a 6cm output arm. find MA.
Nady [450]

6

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is a factor that measures how input force increases using a machine.

A lever is a simple machine with the fulcrum at the center.

To calculate the mechanical advantage M.A of levers we use the expression below;

M. A = \frac{F_{b} }{F_{a} } = \frac{a}{b}

F_{a} = input force

F_{b} = output force

a is the distance of the input force from the fulcrum

b is the distance of the output force from the fulcrum

Given

a = 36cm

b = 6cm

M.A = \frac{36cm}{6cm} = 6
