A rugby player passes the ball 6.8 m across the field, where the ball is caught at the same height as it left his hand. show answer No Attempt 33% Part (a) At what angle, in degrees above the horizontal, was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 12.0 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used

11.86°

Explanation:

Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object moves in parabolic path (trajectory). Projectile motion only occurs when there is one force applied at the beginning on the trajectory, after which the only interference is from gravity.

The range of an object experiencing projectile motion is given by:

R = u²sin(2θ) / g

where u is the initial velocity, θ is the angle with horizontal and g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given that R = 6.8 m, g = 10 m/s², u = 12 m/s.  

R = u²sin(2θ) / g

substituting:

6.8 = 13²sin(2θ) / 10

13²sin(2θ) = 68

sin(2θ) = 0.4024

2θ = sin⁻¹(0.4024)

2θ = 23.73

θ = 11.86°

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.

the answer is b ) square root of 5
