The application of physics is everywhere. In school, physics applications can be seen in other learning areas like physical education (P.E). When you are watching a soccer play-off when the soccer player kicked the ball from ground level. You are given a chance to kick a soccer ball at an initial velocity of 80 m/s to reach the goal with a distance of 300 m. At what angle do you intend to kick the ball?

- Velocity and acceleration are vector quantities, which means that, in addition to their magnitude, one needs to indicate their orientation to fully describe them. Knowing that the particle acceleration is the rate of change of its velocity, describe what happens to the velocity vector when: a) Velocity and acceleration vectors are in the same direction. b) Velocity and acceleration vectors are in opposite directions. c) Velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular. d) Velocity and acceleration vectors form an acute angle. e) Velocity and acceleration vectors form an obtuse angle. You must justify your answers.arrow_forwardJake hits a ball at a 60° angle from the horizontal. It is caught by Jim.

- The movement of an object in the ay-plane is described by the position function: r(t) = #(t)i + y(t)j Which of the following five statements is NOT always true? O a. If the velocity vector of the object never changes, then the speed of the object never changes. O b. In any moment of time, the speed of this object is the same as the speed of the object whose movement is described by the position function s(t) = y(t)i + a(t)j C. O C. If the speed of the object is constant, then the object has zero acceleration. o d. If the velocity vector of the object never changes, then the object has zero acceleration. O e. if z(t) and y(t) are both linear functions, then the velocity vector of the object never changes.arrow_forwardFor this problem, use a coordinate system with "up" as the "positive" direction. Brenda is standing on top of a building. She throws a ball at an angle of 40° above horizontal, and it lands on the ground below. Ignore air resistance.

What is the magnitude of the velocity of the Pokeball just before it hits the Pokemon?arrow_forward
- Your first task in solving any projectile problem is to determine which case you are dealing with, and that lets you know what equations to use. Case 2 has its own special equations. Case 3 usually involves determining the vertical and horizontal components of the launch velocity. If you know the horizontal velocity and time, R=Vht works for any case of equation.arrow_forwardA speedy turtle walks 17 meters east in 30 minutes.

- The bacterium Escherichia coli (or E. coli) is a single-celled organism that lives in the gut of healthy humans and animals. When grown in a uniform medium rich in salts and amino acids, these bacteria swim along zig-zag paths at a constant speed of 20 μm/s. The figure shows the trajectory of an E. coli as it moves from point A to point E. Each segment of the motion can be identified by two letters, such as segment BC.
