A volcanic eruption throws a boulder that lands 1.00 km horizontally from the crater. If the volcanic rocks were launched at an

angle of 40° with respect to the horizontal and landed 900 m below the crater, (a) what would be boulders initial velocity and (b) what is the time of flight?

Answer:

a)  v₀ = 69.29 m / s , b)  t = 18.84 s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use the projectile launch equations

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

Let's fix our reference system on the volcano, so the horizontal distance x = 1 km = 1000 m and the vertical distance y = -900 m, the initial height of the crater is I = 0 m. Let's replace to find the speeds

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         y = v₀ sin θ (x / v₀ cos θ) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos θ)2

         y = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² sec² θ

         ½ g x² sec² θ / v₀² = x tan θ - y

         v₀² = ½ g x² sec² θ / (x tan θ –y)

 

Let's calculate

           v₀² = ½ 9.8 1000² sec² 40 / (1000 tan 40 - (-900))

           v₀ = √ (8.35 10⁶ / 1,739 10³)

           v₀ = 69.29 m / s

    b) Flight time

           x = v₀ₓ t

           t = x / v₀ cos θ

           t = 1000 / 69.29 cos 40

           t = 18.84 s

If the tensile strength of the Kevlar 49 fibers is 0.550 x 106 psi and that of epoxy resin is 11.0 x103 psi, calculate the stren
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

\sigma_{tot} =436810 psi

Explanation:

Notation

\sigma_{fib} =0.55x10^6 psi represent the tensile strength for the Kevlar 49 fibers

\sigma_{epox} =11x10^3 psi represent the tensile strength for the epoxy resin

79% by volume is made of Kevlar 49 fibers

The rest 100-79=21% is made of epoxy resin

Tensile strength is a "measurement of the force required to pull something such as rope, wire, or a structural beam to the point where it breaks". Can be defined as "the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure".

For this case we need to use a basis of calculus since we don't know the total volume but we can assume a reference value on order to make the calculations.

If we assume a total volume of V_{tot}=1 in^3 we can do the follwoing balance:

\sigma_{tot}V_{tot}=\sigma_{fib}V_{fib} +\sigma_{epox}V_{epox}

We can replace the values given:

\sigma_{tot}=(0.55x10^6 psi)(0.79) +(11x10^3 psi)(1-0.79)

\sigma_{tot} =436810 psi

So then the strength of the composite material is : \sigma_{tot} =436810 psi

A fish in an aquarium with flat sides looks out at a hungry cat. To the fish, does the distance to the cat appear to be less tha
lakkis [162]

Answer:

p = -q  

he distance is equal to the current distance, so the distance does not change

Explanation:

For this exercise we can solve it using the equation of the constructor

            1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

For a flat surface the radius is at infinity, therefore 1 / f = 0, which implies

          1 / p = - 1 / q

           p = -q

Therefore the distance is equal to the current distance, so the distance does not change

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an experimental research, the control group is the group that serves as the neutral group that is not given any form of treatment and serves as the group in which the experimental groups are firstly compared to. Thus, <u>the control group in the question described is the Third group</u>.

While experimental groups are the groups that receive treatments required to make an inference from the experiment. From this description, <u>it can be deduced that the First and the Second group are the experimental groups.</u>

What do a prism, a magnifying glass, a microscope, and eyeglasses ALL have in common? A) They are opaque. B) They refract light.
Elena L [17]
By definition, when the speed of the light changes when it passes from a material to another, this is called "Refraction of light". This happens when there is a difference in the index of refraction between both mediums o materials. Therefore, that speed depends of <span>the medium through  it passes. 
</span> 
 T<span>he index of refraction</span> is expressed as below: 
 n=c/v
 
 "n"  is <span>the index of refraction.
</span> "c" is <span>is the speed of light.
</span> "<span>v" is the phase velocity of light in the medium.
</span> 
 A prism, a magnifying glass, a microscope, and eyeglasses refract light. Therefore, the correct option is: B) They refract light.
