A ball in a room is thrown with a speed v = 15 m/s at an angle 45 degrees above the horizontal. If the ceiling is 4 m high, will the ball hit the ceiling? If so, what is the minimum angle at which the ball will not hit the ceiling? Neglect air resistance.

Since we want to find the height reached by the ball, we only want to consider the vertical component of the ball's velocity. Using trigonometry, the y component will be:
vy= 15 * sin (45)...

What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission?

Both the processes of nuclear fusion and fission are dictated by the concept of a 'binding energy'. In basic terms, this is the energy required to separate an atomic nucleus into is constituent nucleons, ...

A ball of mass m with initial velocity u rebounds from a wall, with final velocity v. Using Newton's laws of motion explain forces acting in the system.

The ball has initial momentum p1= mu, and final momentum p2=vm. According to the Newton's 2nd law of motion a force exerted on the ball is equal to the rate of change of momentum . I...

A ball is thrown at a speed of 15m/s at a 30 degree angle from the floor, how far does this ball travel before hitting the ground? (Air resistance can be ignored)

The key to answering this question is to separate the velocity of the ball into two components - horizontal and vertical components. The vertical component will be affected by the gravitational accelerati...
