Supposing there's no air resistance, horizontal velocity is constant, which makes it very easy to solve for the amount of time that the rock was in the air.


Initial horizontal velocity is: <span>
cos(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 10.3923m/s 

15.5m / 10.3923m/s = 1.49s 

So the rock was in the air for 1.49 seconds. </span>

<span>

Now that we know that, we can use the following kinematics equation: 

d = v i * t + 1/2 * a * t^2 

Where d is the difference in y position, t is the time that the rock was in the air, and a is the vertical acceleration: -9.80m/s^2. </span>

<span>
Initial vertical velocity is sin(30 degrees) * 12m/s = 6 m/s 

So: 

d = 6 * 1.49 + (1/2) * (-9.80) * (1.49)^2 
d = 8.94 + -10.89</span>

d = -1.95<span>

<span>This means that the initial y position is 1.95 m higher than where the rock lands. </span></span>

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be
professor190 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the surface, volume and error through the differentiation of the formulas given for the calculation of these values in a circle. Our values given at the beginning are

\phi = 76cm

Error (dr) = 0.5cm

The radius then would be

\phi = 2\pi r \\76cm = 2\pi r\\r = \frac{38}{\pi} cm

And

\frac{d\phi}{dr} = 2\pi \\d\phi = 2\pi dr \\0.5 = 2\pi dr

PART A ) For the Surface Area we have that,

A = 4\pi r^2 \\A = 4\pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^2\\A = \frac{5776}{\pi}

Deriving we have that the change in the Area is equivalent to the maximum error, therefore

\frac{dA}{dr} = 4\pi (2r) \\dA = 4r (2\pi dr)

Maximum error:

dA = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})(0.5)

dA = \frac{76}{\pi}cm^2

The relative error is that between the value of the Area and the maximum error, therefore:

\frac{dA}{A} = \frac{\frac{76}{\pi}}{\frac{5776}{\pi}}

\frac{dA}{A} = 0.01315 = 1.31\%

PART B) For the volume we repeat the same process but now with the formula for the calculation of the volume in a sphere, so

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^3

V = \frac{219488}{3\pi^2}

Therefore the Maximum Error would be,

\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{4}{3} 3\pi r^2

dV = 2r^2 (2\pi dr)

dV = 4r^2 (\pi dr)

Replacing the value for the radius

dV = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})^2(0.5)

dV = \frac{2888}{\pi^2} cm^3

And the relative Error

\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{ \frac{2888}{\pi^2}}{ \frac{219488}{3\pi^2} }

\frac{dV}{V} = 0.03947

\frac{dV}{V} = 3.947\%

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 9.4 s, reaching a speed of 11 m/s. It then collides with a s
Natalka [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy and the definition of kinematic energy as half the product between mass and squared velocity. So,

KE_i = KE_f

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

V = Velocity

Replacing,

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (12000)(11)^2

KE_f = 72600J

Therefore the  final kinetic energy of the two car system is 72.6kJ

Define orbital velocity
sveta [45]

the Orbital Velocity is the velocity sufficient to cause a natural or artificial satellite to remain in orbit. Inertia of the moving body tends to make it move on in a straight line, while gravitational force tends to pull it down. The orbital path, elliptical or circular, representing a balance between gravity and inertia, and it follows a rue that states that the more massive the body at the centre of attraction is, the higher is the orbital velocity for a particular altitude or distance.

Explain why the top of the loop cannot be the same height as (or higher than) the top of the first hill. Assume the roller coast
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.
