The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf

kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy

V0x = V0 cos(θ)

V0y = V0 sin(θ)

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant

Vx = Vocos(θ)

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2

A 30.0 g mass of iron at 24.5°C is heated to 45.0°C. The theoretical specific

diamong [38]

Answer:

276.135 J

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of Fe = 30.0 g

initial temperature = 24.5°C

final temperature = 45.0°C

specific heat of Fe = 0.449 J/g°C

We can determine the thermal energy added by using the formula;

Q = mcΔT

Q = 30.0g × 0.449 J/g°C × (45.0 - 24.5)°C

Q = 276.135 J

Which of the following represents an upright image? <br> A. -do<br> B. +m<br> C. -m<br> D. +do

Tom [10]

Answer:

B. +m

Explanation:

The magnification of an image is defined as the ratio between the size of the image and of the object:

$m = \frac{y'}{y}$

where we have

y' = size of the image

y = size of the object

There are two possible situations:

- When m is positive, y' has same sign as y: this means that the image image is upright

- When m is negative, y' has opposite sign to y: this means that the image is upside down

Therefore, the correct option representing an upright image is

B. +m

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headligh

spayn [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Reyleigh's criteria. Here the resolution of the eye is defined as 1.22 times the wavelength over the diameter of the eye. Mathematically this is,

$\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{D}$

Here,

D is diameter of the eye

$D = \frac{1.22 (539nm)}{5.11 mm}$

$D= 1.287*10^{-4}m$

The angle that relates the distance between the lights and the distance to the lamp is given by,

$Sin\theta = \frac{d}{L}$

For small angle, $sin\theta = \theta$

$sin \theta = \frac{d}{L}$

Here,

d = Distance between lights

L = Distance from eye to lamp

For small angle $sin \theta = \theta$

Therefore,

$L = \frac{d}{sin\theta}$

$L = \frac{0.691m}{1.287*10^{-4}}$

$L = 5367m$

Therefore the distance is 5.367km.
