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

Which of The following are classiFcatons describing how rock and oTher maTerial movedownslope?a. Fall, b. slide, c. slump, d. cr
nlexa [21]

Answer:

correct answer is Fall slide, slump, creep, flow

Explanation:

solution

we know that Movement of particle under the influence of gravity

so rock and other material move down as gravity.

first rock particle fall down because falls occur very rapidly with high slope after that they slide on the slope and after sliding they slump and it occurs when the rupture surface is curved after slump process they creep.  

after creeping, it can flow particle as it occurs slowly with the low slope with water.

so correct answer is Fall slide, slump, creep, flow

If a train travels 80 miles north, 60 miles east, what’s the magnitude of its total displacement? Find the solution by drawing a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

100 miles North East.

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, X represents the magnitude of the total displacement of the train.

Thus, we can obtain the value of X by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

X² = 80² + 60²

X² = 6400 + 3600

X² = 10000

Take the square root of both side

X = √10000

X = 100 miles.

Therefore, the magnitude of the total displacement of the train is 100 miles North East.
