The light beacon of a lighthouse is situated a distance 2.00 km from a long, straight shoreline (shortest distance to the shorel

ine). The light rotates at a rate of 3.00 rev/minute. At a certain time, the illuminated spot on the shoreline is 4.00 km from the lighthouse. How fast is the illuminated spot moving at that point?

In triangle ABC

tanθ = BC/AB

tanθ = x/2

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

sec²θ (dθ/dt) = (0.5) (dx/dt)

sec²θ w = (0.5) v                                eq-1

when x = 4 ,

tanθ = 4/2

θ = tan⁻¹ (2) = 63.4 deg

using eq-1

sec²θ w = (0.5) v  

sec²63.4 (3) (2pi/60) = (0.5) v  

v = 3.13 m/s

Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? there is a force acting opposite to the direction of the motion of the satellite. there is no component of force acting along the direction of motion of the satellite. the net force acting on the satellite is zero. the gravitational force acting on the satellite is balanced by the centrifugal force acting on the satellite?

A cannon fires a 0.2 kg shell with initial velocity vi = 9.2 m/s in the direction θ = 46 ◦ above the horizontal. The shell’s tra
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

∆h = 0.071 m

Explanation:

I rename angle (θ) = angle(α)

First we are going to write two important equations to solve this problem :

Vy(t) and y(t)

We start by decomposing the speed in the direction ''y''

sin(\alpha) = \frac{Vyi}{Vi}

Vyi = Vi.sin(\alpha ) = 9.2 \frac{m}{s} .sin(46) = 6.62 \frac{m}{s}

Vy in this problem will follow this equation =

Vy(t) = Vyi -g.t

where g is the gravity acceleration

Vy(t) = Vyi - g.t= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} - (9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }) .t

This is equation (1)

For Y(t) :

Y(t)=Yi+Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2}

We suppose yi = 0

Y(t) = Yi +Vyi.t-\frac{g.t^{2} }{2} = 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .t- 4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .t^{2}

This is equation (2)

We need the time in which Vy = 0 m/s so we use (1)

Vy (t) = 0\\0=6.62 \frac{m}{s} - 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } .t\\t= 0.675 s

So in t = 0.675 s  → Vy = 0. Now we calculate the y in which this happen using (2)

Y(0.675s) = 6.62\frac{m}{s}.(0.675s)-4.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} }  .(0.675s)^{2} \\Y(0.675s) =2.236 m

2.236 m is the maximum height from the shell (in which Vy=0 m/s)

Let's calculate now the height for t = 0.555 s

Y(0.555s)= 6.62 \frac{m}{s} .(0.555s)-4.9\frac{m}{s^{2} } .(0.555s)^{2} \\Y(0.555s) = 2.165m

The height asked is

∆h = 2.236 m - 2.165 m = 0.071 m

An ideal gas occupies 0.4 m3 at an absolute pressure of 500 kPa. What is the absolute pressure if the volume changes to 0.9 m3 a
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

<h2>2.22 kPa</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we are finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

From the question we have

V_2 =  \frac{0.4 \times 500000}{0.9}   =  \frac{200000}{0.9} \\  = 222222.2222... \\  = 222222

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.22 kPa</h3>

Hope this helps you

If a 0.50-kg block initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface is acted upon by a force of 3.7 N for a distance of 6
mel-nik [20]

The block's velocity is determined as 10.03 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to work energy theorem, the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So, work done = Kinetic energy

\text {Force } \times \text { displacement }=\frac{1}{2} \times m \times v^{2}

Thus, the velocity can be determined as

\text {velocity}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times \text {Force} \times \text {displacement}}{m}}

\text {velocity}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 3.7 \times 6.8}{0.50}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.32}{0.50}}=\sqrt{100.64}

Velocity = 10.03 m/s.

So the block's velocity is determined as 10.03 m/s.
