A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.

1 answer:

7 0

You can find

1) time to hit the ground
2) initial velocity
3) speed when it hits the ground

Equations

Vx = Vxo

x = Vx * t

Vy = Vyo + gt

Vyo = 0

Vy = gt

y = yo - Vyo - gt^2 / 2

=> yo - y = gt^2 / 2

1) time to hit the ground

=> 8.0 = g t^2 / 2 => t^2 = 8.0m * 2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.631 s^2

=> t = √1.631 s^2 = 1.28 s

2) initial velocity

Vxo = x / t = 6.5m / 1.28s = 5.08 m/s

3) speed when it hits the ground

Vy = g*t = 9.81 m/s * 1.28s = 12.56 m/s

V^2 = Vy^2 + Vx^2 = (12.56 m/s)^2 + (5.08 m/s)^2 = 183.56 m^2 / s^2

=> V = √ (183.56 m^2 / s^2) = 13.55 m/s

The magnetic field inside a superconducting solenoid is 4.00 T. The solenoid has an inner diameter of 6.20 cm and a length of 26

Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is 6.366 J/m³

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid is 5 kJ

Explanation:

magnitude of magnetic field inside solenoid, B = 4 T

inner diameter of solenoid, d = 6.2 cm

inner radius of the solenoid, r = 3.1 cm = 0.031 m

length of solenoid, L = 26 cm = 0.26 m

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is given by;

$u _B = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_o} \\\\u _B = \frac{(4)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7})}\\\\u_B = 6.366*10^6 \ J/m^3$

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid

$U_B = u_B V\\\\U_B = u_B AL$

$U_B = u_B(A)(L)\\\\U_B = 6.366*10^6(\pi * 0.031^2)(0.26) \\\\U_B = 4997.69 J\\\\U_B = 5 \ KJ\\$

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha

katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.

While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.

And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
