Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a xed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it

begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the vertical height by which it descends be h . Let it acquire velocity of v .

1/2 mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

As it leaves the surface of sphere , reaction force of surface  R = 0 , so

centripetal force = mg cosθ where θ is the angular displacement from the vertex .  

mv² / r = mg cosθ

(m/r )x 2gh = mg cosθ

2h / r = cosθ

cosθ = (r-h) / r

2h / r =  r-h / r

2h = r-h

3h = r

h = r / 3

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

9.4\cdot 10^{10} m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the cube of the orbital radius and the square of the orbital period is constant for every object orbiting the Sun. So we can write

\frac{r_a^3}{T_a^2}=\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}

where

r_o is the distance of the new object from the sun (orbital radius)

T_o=180 d is the orbital period of the object

r_e = 1.50\cdot 10^{11} m is the orbital radius of the Earth

T_e=365 d is the orbital period the Earth

Solving the equation for r_o, we find

r_o = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_e^3}{T_e^2}T_o^2} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^{11}m)^3}{(365 d)^2}(180 d)^2}=9.4\cdot 10^{10} m

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

Explanation:

It would have been easier with the drawing. This problem is a projectile launching exercise, as they give us data after the window passes and the wall collides, let's calculate with this data the speeds at the point of contact with the window.

X axis

           x = Vox t

           t = x / vox

           t = 7.1 / 340

           t = 2.09 10-2 s

In this same time the height of the window fell

           Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

Let's calculate the initial vertical speed, this speed is in the window

           Voy = (Y + ½ g t²) / t

           Voy = [0.6 + ½ 9.8 (2.09 10⁻²)²] /2.09 10⁻² = 0.579 / 0.0209

            Voy = 27.7 m / s

We already have the speed at the point of contact with the window. Now let's calculate the distance (D) and height (H) to the launch point, for this we calculate the time it takes to get from the launch point to the window; at this point the vertical speed is Vy2 = 27.7 m / s

             Vy = Voy - gt₂

             Vy = 0 -g t₂

             t₂ = Vy / g

             t₂ = 27.7 / 9.8

             t₂ = 2.83 s

This is the time it also takes to travel the horizontal and vertical distance

            X = Vox t₂

            D = 340 2.83

            D = 962.2 m

           

            Y = Voy₂– ½ g t₂²

            Y = 0 - ½ g t2

            H = Y = - ½ 9.8 2.83 2

            H = 39.2 m

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Fy=107.2 N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

For a right triangle :

sinβ = y/h formula (1)

cosβ = x/h formula (2)

x: side adjacent to the β angle

y:  opposite side of the β angle

h: hypotenuse

Known data

h = T = 153.8 N : rope tension

β= 44.2°with the horizontal (x)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate Ty : vertical component of the rope force.

sin44.2° = Ty/153.8 N

Ty = (153.8 N ) *(sen44.2°)= 107.2 N  directed down

for equilibrium system

Fy= Ty=107.2 N

Fy=107.2 N upward component of the force acting on the stake
