A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a pingpong ball horizontally with a speed v. However, a

wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the pingpong ball a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. This results in the pingpong ball reaching the ground directly under the student.
Determine the height h in terms of v, a, and g. This is a somewhat unphysical problem in that you can ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion, but clearly the wind has a big affect on the horizontal motion.

Answer:

Explanation:

The pingpong ball reaches the ground directly under the student. That means net displacement is zero

Time of fall  t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

Initial horizontal velocity = v ,

horizontal acceleration = - a ( deceleration because net displacement is zero)

0 = ut - 1/2 a t²

0 = v\times\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } - \frac{1}{2}a \frac{2h}{g}

v = 1/2 a \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}

h = \frac{2gv^2}{a^2}

A satellite, orbiting the earth at the equator at an altitude of 400 km, has an antenna that can be modeled as a 1.76-m-long rod
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The inducerd emf is 1.08 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Altitude of the satellite, H = 400 km

Length of the antenna, l = 1.76 m

Magnetic field, B = 8.0\times 10^{- 5}\ T

Now,

When a conducting rod moves in a uniform magnetic field linearly with velocity, v, then the potential difference due to its motion is given by:

e = - l(vec{v}\times \vec{B})

Here, velocity v is perpendicular to the rod

Thus

e = lvB           (1)

For the orbital velocity of the satellite at an altitude, H:

v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_{E}}{R_{E}} + H}

where

G = Gravitational constant

m_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg = mass of earth

R_{E} = 6371\ km = radius of earth

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{6371\times 1000 + 400\times 1000} = 7670.018\ m/s

Using this value value in eqn (1):

e = 1.76\times 7670.018\times 8.0\times 10^{- 5} = 1.08\ V

You toss a 0.40-kg ball at 9.0 ms/ to a 14-kg dog standing on an iced-over pond. The dog catches the ball and begins to slide on
just olya [345]

Answer:

a)   v_{f} = 0.25 m / s  b) u = 0.25 m / s

Explanation:

a) To solve this problem let's start with the conservation of the moment, for this we define a system formed by the ball plus the dog, in this case all the forces are internal and the moment is conserved

We will write the data

     m₁ = 0.40 kg

     v₁₀ = 9.0 m / s

     m₂ = 14 kg

     v₂₀ = 0

Initial

     po = m₁ v₁₀

Final

     p_{f} = (m₁ + m₂) vf

     po = pf

     m₁ v₁₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v_{f}

      v_{f} = v₁₀ m₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

      v_{f} = 9.0 (0.40 / (0.40 +14)

      v_{f} = 0.25 m / s

b) This is the reference frame of the center of mass of the system in this case the speed of this frame is the speed of the center of mass

      u = 0.25 m / s

In the direction of movement of the ball

c) Let's calculate the kinetic energy in both moments

Initial

     K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀² +0

     K₀ = ½ 0.40 9 2

     K₀ = 16.2 J

Final

     K_{f}= ½ (m₁ + m₂) v_{f}2

      K_{f} = ½ (0.4 +14) 0.25 2

    K_{f} = 0.45 J

   

    ΔK = K₀ -  K_{f}

    ΔK = 16.2-0.445

    ΔK = 1575 J

These will transform internal system energy

d) In order to find the kinetic energy, we must first find the velocities of the individual in this reference system.

      v₁₀’= v₁₀ -u

      v₁₀’= 9 -.025

      v₁₀‘= 8.75 m / s

      v₂₀ ‘= v₂₀ -u

      v₂₀‘= - 0.25 m / s

      v_{f} ‘=   v_{f} - u

      v_{f} = 0

Initial

    K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀‘² + ½ m₂ v₂₀‘²

    Ko = ½ 0.4 8.75² + ½ 14.0 0.25²

    Ko = 15.31 + 0.4375

    K o = 15.75 J

Final

   k_{f} = ½ (m₁ + m₂) vf’²

  k_{f} = 0

All initial kinetic energy is transformed into internal energy in this reference system
