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:

129.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Vo = 150 m/s

θ = 30°

g = 10 m/s^2

Horizontal component, Vx = Vo cos θ

= 150 × cos 30

= 150 × 0.866

= 129.9 m/s.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

KFC has engineered chickens that do not have beaks and double breast
True [87]
I don't think so.

Before I can accept that rumor, I'll need to see the signed testimony of
two reputable adult witnesses, who have no connection to any business
that profits in any way from the production, sale, or consumption of food,
and who will swear in a public meeting, presided over by three respected
members of their community, that they personally saw more than one of
the alleged beakless double-breasted chickens in the same place at the
same time.

A photo is not acceptable ... not for me, and not for the two witnesses.

A hunter wishes to cross a river that is 1.5 km wide and flows with a velocity of 5.0 km/h parallel to its banks. The hunter use
anzhelika [568]

Answer:137.48 s

Explanation:

Given

Width of river=1.5 km

velocity of river=5 km/h

velocity of boat w.r.t river =12 km/h

To cross the river in minimum time hunter needs to cross the river perpendicular to the flow

i.e. velocity of boat w.r.t  water must be perpendicular

i.e. x component of boat must be equal to river flow

12cos\theta =5

where \theta is angle made by boat w.r.t bank

cos\theta =\frac{5}{12}

cos\theta =0.416

\theta =65.417^{\circ}

its vertical component is 12sin(65.417)=10.91 m/s

Time taken=\frac{1.5\times 1000}{10.91}=137.48 s
