D) 60 m

Explanation:

We can use the constant acceleration equation that contains displacement, initial velocity, acceleration, and time. We want to solve for the time that the ball was in the air first.

Δx = v_i * t + 1/2at²

Let's use this equation in terms of the y-direction.

Δx_y = (v_i)y * t + 1/2a_y * t²

The vertical displacement will be 0 meters since the ball will be on the floor. The initial vertical velocity is 10 m/s, the vertical acceleration is g = 10 m/s², and we are going to solve for time t.

Let's set the upwards direction to be positive and the downwards direction to be negative. We must use -g to be consistent with our other values.

Plug the known values into the equation.

0 m = 10 m/s * t + 1/2(-10 m/s²) * t²

Simplify the equation.

0 = -10t + 5t² 0 = 5t² - 10t

Factor the equation.

0 = 5t(t - 2)

Solve for t by setting both factors to 0.

5t = 0t - 2 = 0

We get t = 0, t = 2. We must use t = 2 seconds because it is the only value for t that makes sense in the problem.

Now that we have the time that the ball was in the air, we can use the same constant acceleration equation to determine the horizontal displacement of the tennis ball. We will use this equation in terms of the x-direction:

Δx = v_i * t + 1/2at² Δx_x = (v_i)x * t + 1/2a_x * t²

Plug the known values into the equation.

Δx_x = 30 m/s * 2 sec + 1/2(0 m/s²) * (2 sec)²

We can eliminate the right side of the equation since anything multiplied by 0 outputs 0.

Δx_x = 30 * 2 Δx_x = 60

The horizontal displacement of the ball is 60 meters. Therefore, the answer is D) 60 m.

convex lenses are thicker at the middle. rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). a convex lens is a converging lens. when parallel rays of light pass through a convex lens the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

Asquare isothermal chip is of width w=5 mm on a side and is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are well insulated; the front surface is exposed to the flow of a coolant at tinf=15 °c. from reliability considerations, the chip temperature must not exceed t=85 °c. if the coolant is air and the corresponding convection coefficient is h=200 w/m2 x k, what is the maximum allowable "power" of the chip? if the coolant is a liquid for which h=3000 w/m2 x k, what is the maximum allowable power of the chip?
