A trick shot archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. An a

ssistant standing on the level ground 30.0 m downrange from the launch point throws an apple straight up with the minimum initial speed necessary to meet the path of the arrow. What is the initial speed of the apple and at what time after the arrow is launched should the apple be thrown so that the arrow hits the apple?

Answer:

u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1} is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

the apple should be tossed after \Delta t=0.0173\ s

Explanation:

Given:

  • velocity of arrow in projectile, v=30\ m.s^{-1}
  • angle of projectile from the horizontal, \theta=20^{\circ}
  • distance of the point of tossing up of an apple, d=30\ m

<u>Now the horizontal component of velocity:</u>

v_x=v\ cos\ \theta

v_x=30\times cos\ 20^{\circ}

v_x=28.191\ m.s^{-1}

<u>The vertical component of the velocity:</u>

v_y=v.sin\ \theta

v_y=30\times sin\ 20^{\circ}

v_y=10.261\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Time taken by the projectile to travel the distance of 30 m:</u>

t=\frac{d}{v_x}

t=\frac{30}{28.191}

t=1.0642\ s

<u>Vertical position of the projectile at this time:</u>

h=v_y.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^2

h=10.261\times 1.0642-\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8\times 1.0642^2

h=5.3701\ m

<u>Now this height should be the maximum height of the tossed apple where its velocity becomes zero.</u>

v'^2=u'^2-2g.h

0^2=u'^2-2\times 9.8\times 5.3701

u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1} is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

<u>Time taken to reach this height:</u>

v'=u'-g.t'

0=10.259-9.8\times t'

t'=1.0469\ s

<u>We observe that </u>t>t'<u> hence the time after the launch of the projectile after which the apple should be tossed is:</u>

\Delta t=t-t'

\Delta t=1.0642-1.0469

\Delta t=0.0173\ s

A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 60.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal. The projectile lands on a
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

51.96 m/s^-1

Explanation:

a) see the attachment

b) As we know the velocity of the projectile has two component, horizontal velocity v_ox. and vertical velocity v_oy as shown in the figure. At the highest point of the trajectory, the projectile has only horizontal velocity and vertical velocity is zero. Therefore at the highest point of the trajectory, the velocity of the projectile will be  

v_ox=v_o*cosФ

       =60*cos (30)

      = 51.96 m/s^-1

Two long parallel wires are separated by forty centimeters and carry oppositely-directed currents of ten amperes. Find the magni
Softa [21]

Answer:

1.04μT

Explanation:

Due to both wires have opposite currents, the magnitude of the total magnetic field is given by

B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_1}-\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_2}

I: electric current = 10A

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^{-7} N/A^2

r1: distance from wire 1 to the point in which B is measured.

r2: distance from wire 2.

The distance between wires is 40cm = 0.4m. Hence, r1=0.2m r2=0.6m

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

B_T=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(10A)}{2\pi}(\frac{1}{0.4m}-\frac{1}{0.6m})=1.04*10^{-6}T =1.04\mu T

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.04μT

Water is considered a polar molecule because _____.
Mashutka [201]
<span>The question is asking for the reason why water is considered a polar molecule. The correct option is A. Water molecule is a polar molecule because it has one side which is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. Each molecule of water has two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom. The slight negative charge near the oxygen atom attract nearby hydrogen atoms from water and the slightly positive charge of the hydrogen atom attract oxygen atom. The attraction set up by these charges are responsible for the polarity of water molecules. </span>
