Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum.
The initial amount of momentum is $mv$ because water stops when it hit the wall total change of momentum must be $\Delta p=mv$ .
Now let's calculate the force.
$F= \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=\frac{dm}{dt}v$
We need to find $\frac{dm}{dt}$ . This is the amount of water hiting the wall per second.
$\frac{dm}{dt}=\rho Av$
Our final formula would be:
$F=\rho Avv=\rho Av^2$
And now we can calculate the answer:
$F=1000\cdot5\cdot 10^{-4}\cdot(20)^2=200 N$

As shown in the diagram, two forces act on an object. The forces have magnitudes F1 = 5.7 N and F2 = 1.9 N. What third force wil

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Second option 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

Explanation:

Observe the attached image. We must calculate the sum of all the forces in the direction x and in the direction y and equal the sum of the forces to 0.

For the address x we have:

$-F_3sin(b) + F_1 = 0$

For the address and we have:

$-F_3cos(b) + F_2 = 0$

The forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ are known

$F_1 = 5.7\ N\\\\F_2 = 1.9\ N$

We have 2 unknowns ( $F_3$ and b) and we have 2 equations.

Now we clear $F_3$ from the second equation and introduce it into the first equation.

$F_3 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}$

Then

$-\frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)+F_1 = 0\\\\F_1 = \frac{F_2}{cos (b)}sin(b)\\\\F_1 = F_2tan(b)\\\\tan(b) = \frac{F_1}{F_2}\\\\tan(b) = \frac{5.7}{1.9}\\\\tan^{-1}(\frac{5.7}{1.9}) = b\\\\b= 72\°\\\\m = b +90\\\\\m= 162\°$

Then we find the value of $F_3$

$F_3 = \frac{F_1}{sin(b)}\\\\F_3 =\frac{5.7}{sin(72\°)}\\\\F_3 = 6.01 N$

Finally the answer is 6.3 N at 162° counterclockwise from

F1->

A football is place kicked with a velocity having a vertical component of 12 m/s and a horizontal component of 6 m/s. Find the r

SSSSS [86.1K]

The velocity is given by:

V = √(Vx²+Vy²)

V = velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity, Vy = vertical velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = √(6²+12²)

V = 13.42m/s

Now find the direction:

θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

θ = angle of velocity off horizontal, Vy = vertical velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(12/6)

θ = 63.4°

The resultant velocity is 13.42m/s at an angle of 63.4° off the horizontal.

Papessa [141]

<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>
