Answer:
129.9 m/s = 130 m/s to 2 s.f
Explanation:
For projectile motion, the initial velocity combined with the angle of launch is used to obtain the initial horizontal and vertical components of the velocity.
u = initial velocity of the projectile = 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
In the motion of a projectile, the motion can literally be separated into vertical and horizontal components.
The vertical component has to do with the acceleration due to gravity (acting downwards) on the projectile and the vertical component of the velocity (which changes all through the motion of the projectile because of the force of gravity manifested in the form of acceleration due to gravity).
But there is no force acting in the horizontal direction, hence, no acceleration in the horizontal direction for projectile motion. This directly translates to a constant velocity in the horizontal direction all through the flight of the projectile.
Hence, the horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile at t = 4 s is the same as the horizontal component of the initial velocity.
Horizontal component of the Velocity at t = 4s is equal to uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s = 130 m/s

Answer:
The magnitude of the Force is and the direction is South
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The magnetic field point due west and since East point toward the positive x -axis then this magnetic field would be mathematically represented as
Now from the question we are told that the kinetic energy is
Now this kinetic energy can be mathematically represented as
Where m is the mass of proton which has a general value of
Now making the subject of the formula
Substituting values we have
Now from the question we are told that proton is moving upward which is in the positive z direction so the velocity of the proton would be in the positive
So the velocity would be
Now the magnetic Force can be mathematically represented as
Where q is the charge on the proton which has a general value of
Now substituting the value
Now according to Fleming's left hand rule the direction of the magnetic force is south toward the negative Y - direction
So the force can be denoted as
Answer:
Explanation:
Mass of object = m
Height above planet = h
Mass of planet = M
Radius of planet = R
As we have to find out velocity, so let's apply the law of conservation of energies on initial( when the object was at height) and final( when object hit the surface points.
Initial energy = Final energy
