AI Thread Summary
To determine the angle at which the football was kicked, the initial speed of 22 m/s is split into vertical and horizontal components using trigonometric functions. The horizontal distance of 45 meters is achieved through uniform motion, allowing the equation 45 = 22 Cos(theta) * t to be used. The vertical motion is analyzed with the equation 0 = 22 Sin(theta) - 9.8*t1, where t1 represents the time to reach the highest point. The total time of flight is twice the time to reach the peak, leading to the final equations needed to solve for both the angle and the total time in the air. This analysis combines projectile motion principles to find the required parameters.

1. A football is kicked with an initial speed of 22m/s at some angle above the horizontal. It travels 45 meters horizontally before hitting the ground.
a. At what angle was the ball initially kicked?
b. How long does it stay in the air?

Split the 22m/s into vertical ( Vy = 22*sin theta) and horizontal components
(Vx =22*Cos theta). Now use the fact that Vy at the highest pt is 0.(use 0 = 22 sin theta - 9.8*t1).
also since motion in the horizontal direction is uniform motion
45 = 22 Cos theta / t.
Also the time taken to reach the highest pt. is half the time taken to reach the ground. ==> t = 2*t1.

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
