1. a soccer ball is kicked at an upward angle θ between 0° and 90°. its initial vertical (y) velocity vy0 is 19.6 m/s. it follows a parabolic trajectory and lands at the end of its range. c. if the ball’s range is 60 m, is the angle θ less than, equal to, or greater than 45°? 2. a small toy car is placed upon a ramp that is 2 m long. the car is released (with zero initial velocity) from the top of the ramp. assume that friction is negligible.(aramp= 1 m/s2) how high is the top if the car takes 2.0 s to reach the bottom?

#1

As the ball is projected at some angle with vertical speed

now we can find the time of flight

now we can find the horizontal speed as

Range = horizontal speed * time

now for the projection angle we will have

so here angle is more than 45 degree as the above ratio is more than 1

#2

here we know that car takes t = 2 s to reach the bottom

here acceleration = 1 m/s^2

initial speed = 0

we can use kinematics now

so the toy car is released from the top at distance 2 m from the bottom

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
