A rock thrown with speed 8.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m bef
ore hitting the ground. from what height was the rock thrown? use the value g = 9.800 m/s2 for the free-fall acceleration.
1 answer:
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
v = (8.5 m/s)*sin30° = 4.25 m/s
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
8.5*cos30° = 7.361 m/s
Assume that aerodynamic resistance may be ignored.
Because the horizontal distance traveled is 19 m, the time of travel is
t = 19/7.361 = 2.581 s
The downward vertical travel is modeled by
h = (-4.25 m/s)*(2.581 s) + 0.5*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.581 s)²
= 21.675 m
Answer: The height is 21.7 m (nearest tenth)

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the oscillation frequency-related concepts specifically in string or pipe close at both ends or open at both ends.
By definition the oscillation frequency is defined as
Where
v = speed of sound
L = Length of the pipe
n = any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum (n)1,2,3...)(Number of harmonic)
Re-arrange to find L,
The radius between the two frequencies would be 4 to 5,
Therefore the frequencies are in the ratio of natural numbers. That is
Here f represents the fundamental frequency.
Now using the expression to calculate the Length we have
Therefore the length of the pipe is 1.3m
For the second harmonic n=2, then
Therefore the length of the pipe in the second harmonic is 2.6m
The Lorentz force acting on the proton is equal to:
where
q is the proton charge
v is the proton speed
B is the intensity of the magnetic field
is the angle between the direction of v and B
since the proton travels perpendicularly to the magnetic field, in this case
, so the Lorentz force in this case is simply
The magnetic force provides also the centripetal force that keeps the proton in circular motion:
where
m is the proton mas
r is the radius of the orbit
If we re-arrange this equation and we use the data of the problem, we can find the radius of the orbit:
