The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22

.5 m/s is h = 2 + 22.5t − 4.9t2 after t seconds. (round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) find the velocity after 2 s and after 4 s. v(2) = 2.9 m/s v(4) = -16.7 m/s (b) when does the projectile reach its maximum height? 2.295918367 s (c) what is the maximum height? 27.82908163 m (d) when does it hit the ground? 53.62087732 s (e) with what velocity does it hit the ground?

1) The law of motion of the projectile is
h(t) = 2+22.5 t-4.9 t^2
To find the velocity, we should compute the derivative of h(t):
v(t)=h'(t)=22.5-2\cdot 4.9t=22.5-9.8t
So now we can calculate the speed at t=2 s and t=4 s:
v(2.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot2.0 =2.9 m/s
v(4.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.0s=-16.7 m/s
The negative sign in the second speed means the projectile has already reached its maximum height and it is now going downward.

2) The projectile reaches its maximum height when the speed is equal to zero:
v(t)=0
So we have
22.5-9.8 t=0
And solving this we find
t=2.30 s

3) To find the maximum height, we take h(t) and we just replace t with the time at which the projectile reaches the maximum height, i.e. t=2.30 s:
h(2.30 s)=2+22.5\cdot 2.30 -4.9 \cdot (2.30s)^2 = 27.83 m

4) The time at which the projectile hits the ground is the time at which the height is zero: h(t)=0. So, this translates into
2+22.5t -4.9 t^2 = 0
This is a second-order equation, and if we solve it we get two solutions: the first solution is negative, so we can ignore it since it's physically meaningless; the second solution is
t=4.68 s
And this is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

5) The velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground is the velocity at time t=4.68 s:
v(4.68 s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.68 =-23.36  m/s
with negative sign, because it is directed downward.

A car weighs 15,000 N, and its tires are inflated to a pressure of 190 kPa.How large is the area of the car's tires that are in
Elan Coil [88]
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface divided by the area of the surface. Therefore, from the given values, we can easily calculate the area by dividing the force to the pressure. We do as follows:

Area = F / P
Area = 15000 / 190000
Area = 0.0789 m^2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A box slides down a 30.0° ramp with an acceleration of 1.20 m/s^2. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
Zielflug [23.3K]

m = mass of the box

N = normal force on the box

f = kinetic frictional force on the box

a = acceleration of the box

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

perpendicular to incline , force equation is given as

N = mg Cos30                                         eq-1

kinetic frictional force is given as

f = μ N

using eq-1

f = μ mg Cos30    


parallel to incline , force equation is given as

mg Sin30 - f = ma

mg Sin30 - μ mg Cos30  = ma

"m" cancel out

a = g Sin30 - μ g Cos30

inserting the values

1.20 = (9.8) Sin30 - (9.8) Cos30 μ

μ = 0.44

According to the graph above, how large of a force is needed in order to stretch the string 1.00 meters?
gulaghasi [49]

My guess for this one would be; 400 N

My reasoning would be; it starts at 0 on both X and Y, if you need to get to 1.00 meters thats 4/4. 1/4 of 1.00 is .25, and on .25 its on 100 so multiply it by 4 to make 1.00 and you get 400 N

Explain how gravity and inertia interact to cause the Earth to revolve around the Sun.
eduard

Answer:

The gravity of the sun and the planets works together with the inertia to create the orbits and keep them consistent. The gravity pulls the sun and the planets together, while keeping them apart. The inertia provides the tendency to maintain speed and keep moving. The planets want to keep moving in a straight line because of the physics of inertia. However, the gravitational pull wants to change the motion to pull the planets into the core of the sun. Together, this creates a rounded orbit as a form of compromise between the two forces.

Explanation:

Hope this answer helps you....
