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

DochEvi [55]

\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C  \triangle   T}

\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}

\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}

\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}

\leadsto When the \bm{heat} is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in \bm{temperature} , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.

A 450.0 N, uniform, 1.50 m bar is suspended horizontally by two vertical cables at each end. Cable A can support a maximum tensi
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) W_{object} = 400 N

2) x = 0.28 m from cable A.

Explanation:

1 ) Let's use the first Newton to find the , because bar is in equilibrium.

\sum F_{Tot} = 0

In this case we just have y-direction forces.

\sum F_{Tot} = T_{A}+T_{B}-W_{bar}-W_{object} = 0

Now, let's solve the equation for W(object).

W_{object} = T_{A}+T_{B}-W_{bar} = 550 +300 - 450 = 400 N

2 ) To find the position of the heaviest weight we need to use the torque definition.

\sum \tau = 0

The total torque is evaluated in the axes of the object.

Let's put the heaviest weight in a x distance from the cable A. We will call this point P for instance.

First let's find the positions from each force to the P point.

L = 1.50 m  ; total length of the bar.

D_{AP} = x  ; distance between Tension A and P point.

D_{BP} = L-x ; distance between Tension B and P point.

D_{W_{bar}P} = \frac{L}{2}-x ; distance between weight of the bar (middle of the bar) and P point.

Now, let's find the total torque in P point, assuming counterclockwise rotation as positive.

\sum \tau = T_{B}(L-x)-T_{A}(x)-W_{bar}(\frac{L}{2}-x) = 0

Finally we just need to solve it for x.

x = \frac{T_{B}L-W_{bar}(L/2)}{T_{B}+W_{bar}+T_{A}}

x = 0.28 m

So the distance is x = 0.28 m from cable A.

Hope it helps!

Have a nice day! :)

An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Three ideal polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second and third filters at 21 degrees and 61 degree
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

1

When second polarizer is removed the intensity after it passes through the stack is    

                    I_f_3 = 27.57 W/cm^2

2 When third  polarizer is removed the intensity after it passes through the stack is    

                I_f_2 = 102.24 W/cm^2

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

       The angle of the second polarizing to the first is  \theta_2 = 21^o  

        The angle of the third  polarizing to the first is     \theta_3 = 61^o

        The unpolarized light after it pass through the polarizing stack   I_u = 60 W/cm^2

Let the initial intensity of the beam of light before polarization be I_p

Generally when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizing filter the intensity of light that emerges is mathematically evaluated as

                     I_1 = \frac{I_p}{2}

Now according to Malus’ law the  intensity of light that would emerge from the second polarizing filter is mathematically represented as

                    I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta_1

                       = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_1

The intensity of light that will emerge from the third filter is mathematically represented as

                  I_3 = I_2 cos^2(\theta_2 - \theta_1 )

                          I_3= \frac{I_p}{2}(cos^2 \theta_1)[cos^2(\theta_2 - \theta_1)]

making I_p the subject of the formula

                  I_p = \frac{2L_3}{(cos^2 \theta [cos^2 (\theta_2 - \theta_1)])}

    Note that I_u = I_3 as I_3 is the last emerging intensity of light after it has pass through the polarizing stack

         Substituting values

                      I_p = \frac{2 * 60 }{(cos^2(21) [cos^2 (61-21)])}

                      I_p = \frac{2 * 60 }{(cos^2(21) [cos^2 (40)])}

                           =234.622W/cm^2

When the second    is removed the third polarizer becomes the second and final polarizer so the intensity of light would be mathematically evaluated as

                      I_f_3 = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_2

I_f_3 is the intensity of the light emerging from the stack

                     

substituting values

                     I_f_3 = \frac{234.622}{2} * cos^2(61)

                       I_f_3 = 27.57 W/cm^2

  When the third polarizer is removed  the  second polarizer becomes the

the final polarizer and the intensity of light emerging from the stack would be  

                  I_f_2 = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_1

I_f_2 is the intensity of the light emerging from the stack

Substituting values

                  I_f_2 =  \frac{234.622}{2} cos^2 (21)

                     I_f_2 = 102.24 W/cm^2
