Answer:
(a) 2.85 m
(b) 16.5 m
(c) 21.7 m
(d) 22.7 m
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ₓ = 19 cos 71° m/s
v₀ᵧ = 19 sin 71° m/s
aₓ = 0 m/s²
aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²
(a) Find Δy when t = 3.5 s.
Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²
Δy = (19 sin 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3.5 s)²
Δy = 2.85 m
(b) Find Δy when vᵧ = 0 m/s.
vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2 aᵧ Δy
(0 m/s)² = (19 sin 71° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy
Δy = 16.5 m
(c) Find Δx when t = 3.5 s.
Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²
Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²
Δx = 21.7 m
(d) Find Δx when Δy = 0 m.
First, find t when Δy = 0 m.
Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²
(0 m) = (19 sin 71° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
0 = t (18.0 − 4.9 t)
t = 3.67
Next, find Δx when t = 3.67 s.
Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²
Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.67 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.67 s)²
Δx = 22.7 m
This is another one of those muddy misleading questions, followed by
a muddy group of choices from which an answer must be selected.
a). is absurd. There's no such thing as a "balanced force", only
a balanced group of forces.
b). is probably the choice the question is aiming for.
c). is not so. The engines of an airplane do plenty of work lifting the plane
off the ground, although the force of the engines is never directed upward.
d). is really awkward. The object's motion is almost never the cause of the force.
The force is almost always the cause of the object's motion.
Now for the big 800-lb gorilla in the room: No moving object needs to be involved
in order for energy to be flowing or work to be getting done.
-- A radio wave radiates through space. Straighten out a wire coat-hanger and
stick it up in the air where the radio wave can pass by it. Electrical current flows
through the wire, and you can drain the electrical energy out the bottom of it.
-- A light bulb is shining. Some distance away, something it's shining on
gets warm, because of the heat energy that has shot across to it from the
light bulb and soaked into it.
-- A lightning bolt jumps from the ground to a passing cloud. Or, if you feel
more comfortable with it, a lightning bolt jumps from a cloud to the ground.
It doesn't matter. Either way, there's enough energy splashing around to
ignite houses, zap TVs and computers, melt concrete, vaporize water, and
light up a city. Although nothing is moving.
When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.
