A ball is thrown forward at 5 m/s how would the path of the ball differ on earth than on the moon

In this problem, we are given that a ball is thrown upward and that it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s. Its path both on Earth and on the moon will be trajectory in nature. This is because while its horizontal velocity is maintained, its vertical velocity increases.

Answer:

The ball on the moon would have a more straight path than on the Earth, and it would have a longer range

Explanation:

In both cases, the motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which has a parabolic trajectory. In fact, the path is the resultant of two indipendent motions:

- A horizontal uniform motion, with constant horizontal velocity 5 m/s

- An accelerated vertical motion, with constant acceleration downward equal to the gravitational acceleration of the planet

On the Moon, the value of the gravitational acceleration is about 1/6 that of the Earth. This means that the downward acceleration of the ball on the Moon is smaller than on the Earth: so, the ball will take more time to reach the ground on the Moon, and so it will have a longer range, and a more straight trajectory.

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. Wh

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0

0 = v₀² /4 - 2 a y '

v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y) y’

y = 4 y'

y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

v² = v₀² -2a y’

v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

v² = -v₀² / 4

v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.
