E14. A ball rolls off a table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. If

Physics

Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago

a) Vertical velocity: 5.9 m/s

b) Horizontal velocity: 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction)

- A uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration) along the vertical direction

Here we want to find the vertical component of the ball's velocity. This can be done by using the suvat equation for the vertical motion:

v_y = u_y +gt

where:

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

u_y=0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the ball has been thrown horizontally)

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (here we take downward as positive direction)

Substituting t = 0.6 s, which is the total time of flight, we find the vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground:

v_y=0+(9.8)(0.6)=5.9 m/s

b)

The motion along the vertical direction is an accelerated motion, because there is a force (the force of gravity) acting on the ball and that it causes an acceleration in the ball.

However, there are no forces acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect the air resistance): this means that the acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction is zero.

As a consequence, this also means that the horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant during the motion.

Since the ball was thrown from the table with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s, this means that the horizontal velocity of the ball just before it hits the floor is still

v_x =  5 m/s

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. An astronaut lands on the rock to bury explosive charges that will blow the ast
forsale [732]

Answer:

The maximum radius the asteroid can have for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up is approximately 1782.45 meters

Explanation:

Whereby the height the astronaut can jump on Earth = 0.500 m, we have the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity

u = The initial velocity

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

h = The height she jumps

At the maximum height, h_{max} = 0.500 m, she jumps, v = 0, therefore, we have;

0² = u² - 2·g·h_{max}

u² = 2 × 9.8 × 0.5 = 9.8

u = √9.8 ≈ 3.13

u = 3.13 m/s

Her initial jumping velocity ≈ 3.13 m/s

Escape velocity, v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M}{r} }

Where;

M = The mass of the asteroid

G = The Universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg·s²)

r = The radius of the asteroid

The average density of the Earth = 5515 kg/m³

The mass of the asteroid, M = Density × Volume = 5515 kg/m³× 4/3 × π × r³

The escape velocity, she has, v_e ≈ 3.13 m/s is therefore;

3.13 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 6.67408 \times 10^{-11} \times 5515 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^3}{r} } = r \times \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}

r = \dfrac{3.13}{ \sqrt{3.084 \times 10^{-6}}} \approx 1782.45

Therefore, the maximum radius of the asteroid can have for her jumping velocity to be equal to the escape velocity for her to be able to leave it entirely simply by jumping straight up = r ≈ 1782.45 meters.

Question 5 At 12:00 pm, a spaceship is at position ⎡⎣324⎤⎦ km ⎣ ⎢ ⎡ ​ 3 2 4 ​ ⎦ ⎥ ⎤ ​ km away from the origin with respect to so
Anettt [7]

Answer:

[1, 6, -2]

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial Position of spaceship : [3 2 4] km

Velocity of spaceship : [-1 2 - 3] km/hr

Location of ship after two hours have passed :

Distance moved by spaceship :

Velocity × time

[-1 2 -3] × 2 = [-2 4 -6]

Location of ship after two hours :

Initial position + distance moved

[3 2 4] + [-2 4 -6] = [3 + (-2)], [2 + 4], [4 + (-6)]

= [3-2, 2+4, 4-6] = [1, 6, -2]
