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

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1)

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency = wave velocity/2L

where;

L is the length of the stretched rubber

Wave velocity = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}

Frequency (F₁) = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}

To obtain the new frequency with respect to the old frequency, we consider the conditions stated in the question.

Given:

L₂ =2L₁ = 2L

T₂ = 2T₁ = 2T

(M/L)₂ = 0.5(M/L)₁ = 0.5(M/L)

F₂ = \frac{\sqrt{\frac{2T}{0.5(\frac{M}{L})}}}{4*L} = \frac{\sqrt{4(\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}})}{4*L} = \frac{2}{2} [\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}] = F_1

Therefore, the new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1).
