Answer:

sin  2θ = 1    θ=45

Explanation:

They ask us to prove that the optimal launch angle is 45º, for this by reviewing the parabolic launch equations we have the scope equation

            R = Vo² sin 2θ / g

Where R is the horizontal range, Vo is the initial velocity, g the acceleration of gravity and θ the launch angle. From this equation we see that the sine function is maximum 2θ = 90 since sin 90 = 1 which implies that θ = 45º; This proves that this is the optimum angle to have the maximum range.

We calculate the distance traveled for different angle

          R = vo² Sin (2 15) /9.8

          R = Vo² 0.051 m

In the table are all values ​​in two ways

Angle (θ)                  distance R (x)

 0                 0                     0

15                 0.051 Vo²        0.5 Vo²/g

30                0.088 vo²        0.866   Vo²/g

45                0.102 Vo²        1   Vo²/g

60                0.088 Vo²      0.866   Vo²/g

75                0.051 vo²        0.5   Vo²/g

90                0                     0

See graphic ( R Vs θ)  in the attached ¡, it can be done with any program, for example EXCEL

A ball is released from a hot air balloon moving downward with a velocity of -10.0 meters/second and a height of 1,000 meters. H
Nikolay [14]
Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.

We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2

Substitute their values, 
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s

In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds

Hope this helps!

27 degrees to kelvin, 20 dg to milligrams, and 3 to decimeters.
Gala2k [10]
K = C + 273, so 27°C = 27+273 = 300 K

1 dg = 100 mg, so 20 dg = 20×100 = 2,000 mg

A uniform disk with a mass of 5.0 kg and diameter 30 cm rotates on a frictionless fixed axis through its center and perpendicula
igomit [66]

Answer:

Angular acceleration of the disk will be \alpha =10.714rad/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 5 kg

Diameter of the disk d = 30 cm = 0.3 m

So radius r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.3}{2}=0.15m

Moment of inertia of disk is given by I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 0.15^2=0.056kgm^2

Force is given by F=4 N

Torque is given as \tau =Fr=4\times 0.15=0.6N-m

We also know that torque is given by \tau =I\alpha

0.6=0.056\times \alpha

\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2
