A 225 kg block is pulled by two horizontal forces. The first force is 178 N at a 41.7-degree angle and the second is 259 N at a

108-degree angle. What is the x and y component of the total force acting on the block?

Answer:

52.9 N, 364.7 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to resolve both forces along the x- and y- direction. We have:

- Force A (178 N)

$A_x = (178 N)(cos 41.7^{\circ})=132.9 N\\A_y = (178 N)(sin 41.7^{\circ})=118.4 N$

- Force B (259 N)

$B_x = (259 N)(cos 108^{\circ})=-80.0 N\\B_y = (259 N)(sin 108^{\circ})=246.3 N$

So the x- and y- component of the total force acting on the block are:

$R_x = A_x + B_x = 132.9 N - 80.0 N =52.9 N\\R_y = A_y + B_y = 118.4 N +246.3 N = 364.7 N$

Two 60.o-g arrows are fired in quick succession with an initial speed of 82.0 m/s. The first arrow makes an initial angle of 24.

olganol [36]

Answer:

a) The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters, b) Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

Explanation:

a) The first arrow is launch in a parabolic way, that is, horizontal speed remains constant and vertical speed changes due to the effects of gravity. On the other hand, the second is launched vertically, which means that velocity is totally influenced by gravity. Let choose the ground as the reference height for each arrow. Each arrow can be modelled as particles and by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

First arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{x,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,2} + K_{x,2} + K_{y,2}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,2}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{x,1}$ , $K_{x,2}$ - Initial and final horizontal translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

Now, the system is expanded and simplified:

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{2} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 2}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{2}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2})$

$y_{2}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2}}{g}$

Where:

$y_{1}$ . $y_{2}$ - Initial and final height of the arrow, measured in meters.

$v_{y,1}$ , $v_{y,2}$ - Initial and final vertical speed of the arrow, measured in meters.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

The initial vertical speed of the arrow is:

$v_{y,1} = v_{1}\cdot \sin \theta$

Where:

$v_{1}$ - Magnitude of the initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$\theta$ - Initial angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the initial vertical speed is:

$v_{y,1} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 24^{\circ}$

$v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{2} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(33.352\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{2} - y_{1} = 56.712\,m$

Second arrow

$U_{g,1} + K_{y,1} = U_{g,3} + K_{y,3}$

Where:

$U_{g,1}$ , $U_{g,3}$ - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

$K_{y,1}$ , $K_{y,3}$ - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$m \cdot g \cdot (y_{3} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 3}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0$

$g \cdot (y_{3}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2})$

$y_{3}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2}}{g}$

If $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{y,1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{y,3} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the maximum height of the first arrow is:

$y_{3} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$y_{3} - y_{1} = 342.816\,m$

The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters.

b) The total energy of each system is determined hereafter:

First arrow

The total mechanical energy at maximum height is equal to the sum of the potential gravitational energy and horizontal translational kinetic energy. That is to say:

$E = U + K_{x}$

The expression is now expanded:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{x}^{2}$

Where $v_{x}$ is the horizontal speed of the arrow, measured in meters per second.

$v_{x} = v_{1}\cdot \cos \theta$

If $v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $\theta = 24^{\circ}$ , the horizontal speed is:

$v_{x} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 24^{\circ}$

$v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$

If $m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $y_{max} = 56.712\,m$ and $v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the total mechanical energy is:

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (56.712\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(74.911\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Second arrow:

The total mechanical energy is equal to the potential gravitational energy. That is:

$E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max}$

$m = 0.06\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $y_{max} = 342.816\,m$

$E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (342.816\,m)$

$E = 201.720\,J$

Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

An electron is projected with an initial speed Vo = 5.35x10^6 m/s into the uniform field between the parallel plates. The direct

mart [117]

Answer:

E = 3.04 10⁻⁵ N / C

Explanation:

In this problem we can use the kinematics to find how long it takes the electron to travel the plates

Let's start by reducing the magnitudes to the SI system

vₓ = 5.35 10⁶ m / s

x = 2 cm = 2 10⁻² m

y = 1 cm = 1 10⁻² m

x = vₓ t

t = x / vₓ

t = 2 10⁻² / 5.35 10⁶

t = 3,738 10⁻⁹ s

This time is also the time it takes for vertical movement to go from the center to the plate, let's look for acceleration with Newton's second law

F = m a

a = F / m = e E / m

y = $v_{oy}$ + ½ a t²

$v_{oy}$ = 0

We replace

y = ½ e / m E t²

E = 2 y m / e t²

Let's calculate

E = 2 1 10⁻² 9.1 10⁻³¹ / (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 3,738 10⁻⁹)

E = 18.2 10⁻³³ / 5.98 10⁻²⁸

E = 3.04 10⁻⁵ N / C
