A man stands on the roof of a building of height 13.0m and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 33.0m/s at an angle of 25.

3(degree) above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. (A)Calculate the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock. (B)Calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground.(C)Calculate the horizontal distance from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.

(a) 23.1 m

The vertical velocity of the rock at time t is given by:

v_y(t) = v_{y0} + gt (1)

where

v_{y0} = v_0 sin \theta = (33.0 m/s)(sin 25.3^{\circ})=14.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the rock

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (negative because it is downward)

t is the time

At the point of maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero:

v_y(t)=0

Using this information in eq.(1), we find the time it takes for the rock to reach the maximum height:

v_{y0} + gt=0\\t=-\frac{v_{y0}}{g}=-\frac{14.1 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^2}=1.44 s

And now we can calculate the vertical position of the rock after t=1.44 s by using the equation:

y(t)=y_0 + v_{0y}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2=13.0 m+(14.1 m/s)(1.44 s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8 m/s^2)(1.44 s)^2=23.1 m

(2) 36.7 m/s

For this part, we have to calculate the time t at which the rock reaches the ground, which means y(t)=0. So:

y(t)=0=y_0 + v_{y0}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0=13.0 + 14.1t - 4.9t^2

which has two solutions:

t = -0.73 s --> negative, we discard it

t = 3.61 s --> this is our solution

So now we can calculate the vertical velocity of the rock when it reaches the ground:

v_y(t)=v_{y0} + gt = 14.1 m/s+(-9.8 m/s^2)(3.61 s)=-21.4 m/s

The horizontal velocity has not changed, since the motion along the horizontal direction is uniform, so it is

v_x(t)=v_{x0}=(33.0 m/s)(cos 25.3^{\circ})=29.8 m/s

So, the magnitude of the velocity when the rock hits the ground is

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(-21.4 m/s)^2+(29.8 m/s)^2}=36.7 m/s

(3) 107.6 m

The horizontal distance travelled by the rock is given by:

d=v_x t

where

v_x = 29.8 m/s is the horizontal velocity, which is constant

t=3.61 s is the time it takes for the rock to reach the ground

Substituting, we find

d=(29.8 m/s)(3.61 s)=107.6 m

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}} (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}

\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2 (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio \frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}} is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg
