Answer:
a) v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b) x = 59.68 m
Explanation:
a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff
x = v₀ₓ t
y = t - ½ g t²
We look for the components of speed with trigonometry
sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀
cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀
v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43
Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second
t = x / v₀ cos 43
y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²
y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43
1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²
v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]
Let's calculate
v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]
v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)
v₀ = 32.64 m / s
.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found
y = t - ½ g t²
.y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²
25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²
4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0
t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0
We solve the second degree equation
t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2
t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2
t₁ = 2.50 s
t₂ = 2.04 s
The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled
x = v₀ₓ t
x = v₀ cos 43 t
x = 32.64 cos 43 2.50
x = 59.68 m
Answer:
D.None of these
Explanation:
The derivation of acceleration formula:
Let us call the 5kg mass and the 4kg mass
. If the tension in the string is
then for the mass
(1). <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>
And for the mass
(2). <em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>
Solving for in the 2nd equation we get:
,
and putting this into the 1st equation we get:
Back to the question:
Using the formula for the acceleration we find
which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.
