Three eyewitnesses at the scene of a car accident were asked how long the accident lasted. They responded with 11 seconds, 12 se

conds, and 11 seconds. The traffic camera recorded the accident and it actually lasted 7 seconds. What can be said about the times stated by the eyewitnesses?

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 5.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. The end of the ra

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer

given,

initial velocity of skateboard = 5.1 m/s

angle above the horizontal = 55°

height of the ramp = 1 m

a) maximum height of projectile

$H = \dfrac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}$

$H = \dfrac{5.1^2\times sin^2 55^0}{2\times 9.81}$

H = 0.889 m

the maximum height of the skateboard above the ground

= 1 + 0.889

= 1.889 m

b) time to reach the height

$t = \dfrac{u\ sin\theta}{g}$

$t = \dfrac{5.1\ sin55^0}{9.8}$

t = 0.426 s

horizontal distance = u cos θ × t

= 5.1 × cos 55° × 0.426

horizontal distance = 1.25 m

A 4.3 kg steel ball and 6.5 m cord of negligible mass make up a simple pendulum that can pivot without friction about the point

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer

given,

mass of steel ball, M = 4.3 kg

length of the chord, L = 6.5 m

mass of the block, m = 4.3 Kg

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.9

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

here the potential energy of the bob is converted into kinetic energy

$m g L = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2$

$v= \sqrt{2gL}$

$v= \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 6.5}$

v = 11.29 m/s

As the collision is elastic the velocity of the block is same as that of bob.

now,

work done by the friction force = kinetic energy of the block

$f . d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2$

$\mu m g. d = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2$

$d=\dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}$

$d=\dfrac{11.29^2}{2\times 0.9 \times 9.8}$

d = 7.23 m

the distance traveled by the block will be equal to 7.23 m.

Please help me with this physics prooblem

zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

$x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2$

$y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2$

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ$

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, $a_x$ and $a_y$ :

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

The acceleration vector then has direction $\theta$ where

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ$
