While driving north at 25 m/s during a rainstorm you notice that the rain makes an angle of 38 degrees with the vertical. While

driving back home moments later at the same speed but in the opposite direction, you see that the rain is falling straight down. From these observations, determine the speed of the raindrops relative to the ground. From these observations, determine the angle of the raindrops relative to the ground.

Explanation:

In the velocity triangle in the attachment we have

w = velocity of raindrop relative to ground.

v1 = 25 m/s, velocity of the car (going north) relative to ground.

u1 = velocity of raindrop relative to car

w = vector sum of u1 and v1

v2 = 25 m/s, velocity of the car (going south) relative to ground.

u2 = velocity of raindrop relative to car (vertically down)

w = vector sum of u2 and v2

from the figure we can write

u_2=\frac{(v_1+v_2)}{tan38} = \frac{50}{tan38}

= 64.08 m/s

now, we can calculate w as resultant of v2 and u2

w = \sqrt{25^2+64.08^2}

w=  68.7 m/s

also, direction of w  theta = arctan(v2/u2) = 21.3 °

Crank

Answer:

0.98°

Explanation:

The Sun appears to move across various constellation because of the Earth's revolution around it. This apparent motion is essentially same as the actual motion of the Earth. The orbit of Earth around the Sun is almost circular.

Time taken to complete one revolution = 365 days

Degrees traveled in 365 Days = 360°

The motion per day is

=\frac{360}{365}

= 0.98° per day

In case A below, a 1 kg solid sphere is released from rest at point S. It rolls without slipping down the ramp shown, and is lau
mestny [16]

Answer:

the block reaches higher than the sphere

\frac{y_{sphere}} {y_block} = 5/7

Explanation:

We are going to solve this interesting problem

A) in this case a sphere rolls on the ramp, let's find the speed of the center of mass at the exit of the ramp

Let's use the concept of conservation of energy

starting point. At the top of the ramp

         Em₀ = U = m g y₁

final point. At the exit of the ramp

         Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

notice that we include the translational and rotational energy, we assume that the height of the exit ramp is y₂

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

         m g y₁ = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂

angular and linear velocity are related

        v = w r

the moment of inertia of a sphere is

         I = \frac{2}{5} m r²

we substitute

         m g (y₁ - y₂) = ½ m v² + ½ (\frac{2}{5} m r²) (\frac{v}{r})²

         m g h = ½ m v² (1 + \frac{2}{5})

where h is the difference in height between the two sides of the ramp

h = y₂ -y₁

         mg h = \frac{7}{5} (\frac{1}{2} m v²)

         v = √5/7  √2gh

This is the exit velocity of the vertical movement of the sphere

         v_sphere = 0.845 √2gh

B) is the same case, but for a box without friction

   starting point

          Em₀ = U = mg y₁

   final point

          Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          Em₀ = Em_f

          mg y₁ = ½ m v² + m g y₂

          m g (y₁ -y₂) = ½ m v²

          v = √2gh

this is the speed of the box

          v_box = √2gh

to know which body reaches higher in the air we can use the kinematic relations

          v² = v₀² - 2 g y

at the highest point v = 0

           y = vo₀²/ 2g

for the sphere

           y_sphere = 5/7 2gh / 2g

           y_esfera = 5/7 h

for the block

           y_block = 2gh / 2g

            y_block = h

       

therefore the block reaches higher than the sphere

         \frac{y_{sphere}} {y_bolck} = 5/7
