1. During a medieval siege of a castle, the attacking army uses a trebuchet to hurl heavy stones at the castle walls. If the tre

buchet launches the stones with a velocity of +40.0 m/s at an angle of 55.0°, how long does it take the stone to hit the ground? What is the maximum distance that the trebuchet can be from the castle wall to be in range? How high will the stones go? Show all your work.

Initial velocity u = 40 
Angle at launch = 55 degrees
 At maximum height v = 0, velocity equation v^2 = u^2 - 2gh,
 0 = (40 x sin55)^2 - 2 x 9.81 x h => (40 x 0.819)^2 = 19.62h => h = 32.76^2 /
19.62
 Maximum height = 54.7 m 
 We have v = u - gt => 0 = (40 x sin55) - 9.81 x t => t = 32.76 / 9.81 => t =
3.34 s
 Time taken to hit the ground is 2t = 2 x 3.34 = 6.68 s 
Distance from castle to trebuchet = utcos55 = 40 x 6.68 x 0.573 = 153.1 m

What effect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?
Lady_Fox [76]
Decreasing the distance between two objects having a considerable mass would increase the attraction on gravitation. The reverse is true that if you separate or inrease the objects distance would substantially decrease their gravitational attraction. Most object in our planet is held by its gravitational force towards it's center.

dsp73

Answer:

(i) See attached image for the drawing

(ii) net force given in component form: (20, 20)N with magnitude: \sqrt{800} \,\,\,N

Explanation:

First try to write all forces in  vector component form:

The force F1 acting at 45 degrees would have multiplication factors of \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} on both axes, to take care of the sine and cosine projections. Therefore, the:

x-component of F1 is    F1_x=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N

y-component of F1 is    F1_y=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N

As far as force F2, it is given already in x and y components, then:

x-component of F2 = 8 N

y-component of F2 = -6 N (negative meaning pointing down the y-axis)

Force F3 has only component (upwards) in the y-direction

x-component of F3 = 0 N

y-component of F3 =14 N

The additions of all these component by component, gives the resultant force (R) acting on the 5 kg mass:

x-component of R = 12 + 8 = 20 N

y-component of R = 12 + 14 - 6 = 20 N

Therefore, the acceleration that the mass receives due to this force is given in component form as:

x-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = 4\,\,\,m/s^2

y-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = 4\,\,\,m/s^2

Now we can calculate the components of the velocity of this mass after 2 seconds of being accelerated by this force, using the formula of acceleration times time:

x-component of the velocity is:     v_x=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s

y-component of the velocity is:     v_y=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s

Monochromatic light falling on two very narrow slits 0.048mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 5.00m away are 6.5cm apart ne
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{Yd}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m

L = screen distance = 5 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.065\ m)(4.8\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m)}{5\ m}

<u>λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm</u>

Now, the frequency can be given as:

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

f = frequency = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{5.85\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\\\

<u>f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz</u>

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.

Hence, \Delta E = 0. And, as \Delta E = 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.

Therefore,

                   Q = -(19000 J + 2000 J)

                       = -21000 J

or,    |Q| = 21000 J

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the energy transfer between the house and the outside air is 21000 J.
