a) t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

b) v=\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}

c) v=\sqrt{d^2(\frac{g}{2h})+(2gh)}

d) \theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2h}{d}) (radians)

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the cup sliding off the counter is the motion of a projectile, consisting of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion (free fall) along the vertical direction

The time of flight of the cup is entirely determined by the vertical motion, therefore we can use the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where here:

s=h (the vertical displacement is the height of the counter)

u=0 (the initial vertical velocity of the cup is zero)

a=g (the vertical acceleration is the acceleration of gravity)

Solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cup:

h=0+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

b)

To solve this part, we just analyze the horizontal motion of the cup.

Here we know that the horizontal motion of the cup is uniform: this means that is horizontal speed is constant during the whole motion, and it is actually equal to the speed at which the mug leaves the counter.

For a uniform motion, the speed is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

Here, the distance covered is d, the distance from the base of the counter, while the time taken is the time of flight:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the speed of the mug as it leaves the counter:

v=\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}

c)

Here we want to find the speed of the cup immediately before it hits the floor.

Here we have to consider that while the mug falls, its vertical speed increases, while the horizontal speed remains constant.

Therefore, the horizontal speed of the cup before it hits the ground is:

v_x=\frac{d}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}=d\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}

The vertical speed instead is given by the suvat equation:

v_y=u_y + at

where:

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity

a=g is the acceleration

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} is the time of flight

Substituting,

v_y = 0 +g(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})=\sqrt{2gh}

The actual speed of the cup just before it hits the floor is the resultant of the horizontal and vertical speeds, so it is:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{d^2(\frac{g}{2h})+(2gh)}

d)

Just before hitting the floor, the velocity of the cup has two components:

v_x=d\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}} is the horizontal component (in the forward direction)

v_y=\sqrt{2gh} is the vertical component (in the downward direction)

Since the two components are perpendicular to each other, the angle of the direction is given by the equation

tan \theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

where here \theta is measured as below the horizontal direction.

Substituting the expressions for v_x,v_y, we find:

tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2gh}}{d\sqrt{\frac{g}{2h}}}=\frac{2h}{d}

So

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2h}{d}) (radians)

Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = 5 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = - 3 nC and is at x = 4 cm. Charge
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Known data

q₃=5 nC

q₂=- 3 nC

d₁₃=  2 cm

d₂₃ = 4 cm

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So,  the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.  F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)

Calculation of q1

F₁₃ = F₂₃

\frac{k*q_{1}*q_3 }{(d_{13})^{2}  } = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_3 }{(d_{23})^{2}  }

We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{(d_{13})^{2} } = \frac{q_{2} }{(d_{23})^{2} }

q_{1} = \frac{q_{2}*(d_{13})^{2}   }{(d_{23} )^{2}  }

q_{1} = \frac{5*(2)^{2} }{(4 )^{2}  }

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4300 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive ch
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

 v_{1f} = +3,394 103 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with the concept of the moment. Let's start by defining the system that is formed by the complete rocket before and after the explosions, bone with the two stages, for this system the moment is conserved.

The data they give is the mass of the first stage m1 = 2100 kg, the mass of the second stage m2 = 1160 kg and its final velocity v2f = +5940 m / s and the speed of the rocket before the explosion vo = +4300 m / s

The moment before the explosion

      p₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v₀

After the explosion

      pf = m₁ v_{1f} + m₂ v_{2f}

     p₀ = [texpv_{f}[/tex]

     (m₁ + m₂) v₀ = m₁ v_{1f} + m₂ v_{2f}

Let's calculate the final speed (v1f) of the first stage

     v_{1f} = ((m₁ + m₂) v₀ - m₂ v_{2f}) / m₁

     

     v_{1f} = ((2100 +1160) 4300 - 1160 5940) / 2100

     v_{1f} = (14,018 10 6 - 6,890 106) / 2100

     v_{1f} = 7,128 106/2100

     v_{1f} = +3,394 103 m / s

come the same direction of the final stage, but more slowly

A train traveled from Station A to Station B at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour and then from Station B to Station C
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1)

75 kmh⁻¹

2)

75 kmh⁻¹

Explanation:

1)

v_{ab} = Speed of train from station A to station B = 80 kmh⁻¹

d_{ab} = distance traveled from station A to station B

t_{ab} = time of travel between station A to station B

we know that

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

t_{ab} = \frac{d_{ab}}{v_{ab}} = \frac{d_{ab}}{80}

d_{bc} = distance traveled from station B to station C

v_{bc} = Speed of train from station B to station C = 60 kmh⁻¹

t_{bc} = \frac{d_{bc}}{v_{bc}} = \frac{d_{bc}}{60}

Total distance traveled is given as

d = d_{ab} + d_{bc}

Total time of travel is given as

t = t_{ab} + t_{bc}

Average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t} \\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{(\frac{d_{ab}}{80} ) + (\frac{d_{bc}}{60} ) }

Given that :

d_{ab} = 4 d_{bc}

So

v_{avg} = \frac{4 d_{bc} + d_{bc}}{(\frac{4 d_{bc}}{80} ) + (\frac{d_{bc}}{60} ) }\\v_{avg} = \frac{4 + 1}{(\frac{4 }{80} ) + (\frac{1}{60} ) }\\v_{avg} = 75 kmh^{-1}

2)

v_{ab} = Speed of train from station A to station B = 80 kmh⁻¹

t_{ab} = time of travel between station A to station B

d_{ab} = distance traveled from station A to station B

we know that

distance = (speed) (time)

d_{ab} = v_{ab} t_{ab}\\d_{ab} = 80 t_{ab}

d_{bc} = distance traveled from station B to station C

v_{bc} = Speed of train from station B to station C = 60 kmh⁻¹

t_{bc} = time of travel for train from station B to station C

we know that

distance = (speed) (time)

d_{bc} = v_{bc} t_{bc}\\d_{bc} = 60 t_{bc}

Total distance traveled is given as

d = d_{ab} + d_{bc}\\d = 80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}

Total time of travel is given as

t = t_{ab} + t_{bc}

Average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t} \\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}

Given that :

t_{ab} = 3 t_{bc}

So

v_{avg} = \frac{80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{80 (3) t_{bc} + 60 t_{bc}}{(3) t_{bc} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{(300) t_{bc}}{(4) t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = 75 kmh^{-1}
