ValentinkaMS [17]2 years ago

Assuming that air resistance is negligible in the given projectile motion, the x-component of the projectile motion should be constant. Whereas its vertical component should follow that of the free-fall because initially it is zero (due to the statement, launched horizontally). With that, all equations applicable to free falling objects should also be applicable to this type of problems.

What is Otter's average velocity over his entire trip when it takes him 2 minutes to walk 100 meters north and another 1 minute
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.50m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is the change in displacement of a body with respect to time.

Velocity = ∆S/∆t

∆S = 100m - 70m

∆S = 30m

∆t = 2min - 1 min

∆t = 1min = 60secs

Substitute the given parameters into the formula for velocity

Velocity = 30m/60s

Velocity = 1/2 m/s

Average Velocity = 0.5m/s

A 1500 kg car traveling at 20 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver im
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

v_f = 17.4 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use conservation of energy

starting point. On the hill when running out of gas

          Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² + m g y₁

final point. Arriving at the gas station

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ m v₀ ² + m g y₁ = ½ m v_f ² + m g y₂

        v_f ² = v₀² + 2g (y₁ -y₂)

         

we calculate

        v_f ² = 20² + 2 9.8  (10 -15)

        v_f = √302

         v_f = 17.4 m / s

Suppose you are measuring the height of a small child. What will determine the number if significant digits you record?
slega [8]

The number of significant digits of any measurement is determined by the instrument used for such measurement. For example, in this case, we have the height of a small child being measured. We can use a simple ruler for this, and we see that a ruler has ten divisions for 1 cm. This means that the ruler cannot measure beyond the size of 0.1 cm or 1 mm. Hence, when we report the height of the small child, we report it to one significant digit after the decimal place. As an example, if we measure a child's height to be 90 full cm divisions and 8 smaller divisions, we report it as 90.8 cm but not 90.83 or 90.86 cm.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use the relation of the index of refraction with the speed of light in a vacuum and a material medium

           n = c / v

where c is the speed of light in the vacuum, v the speed of light in the material medium and n the ratio of rafraccio

in this case they give us that the medium matter water them that has a refractive index of

              n = 1,333

we clear

          v = c / n

let's calculate

           v = 3 10⁸ / 1,333

           v = 2.25 10⁸ m / s

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s
