The maximum speed with which you can throw a stone is about 20 m/s. Can you hit a window 45 m away horizontally and 10 m up from

the point where the stone leaves your hand? What is the maximum height of a window you can hit at this distance?

Answer:

 y = 17 m

Explanation:

For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

let's substitute

          45 = v₀ cos θ t

          10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero

 

           v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

Let's write our system of equations

         45 = v₀ cos θ  t

         10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

         0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.

Let's use the last two

        v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t

we substitute

        10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = 4.9 t2

        t = √ (10 / 4.9)

        t = 1,429 s

Now let's use the first equation and the last one

         45 = v₀ cos θ t

         0  = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

         9.8 t = v₀  sin θ

         45 / t = v₀ cos θ

we divide

         9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ

          tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45

          θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )

          θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)

          θ = 24º

Now we can calculate the maximum height

         v_y² = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g y

         vy = 0

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8

          y = 3,376 m

the other angle that gives the same result is

       θ‘= 90 - θ

       θ' = 90 -24

       θ'= 66'

for this angle the maximum height is

 

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8

           y = 17 m

thisis the correct

A box is pushed horizontally with constant speed across a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following must be true?
Pavel [41]
D

Because if an object is moving at a constant speed the force of friction must equal the applied (horizontal) force, and for it to be accelerating or decelerating, the force of friction and the applied force must be unequal

What evidence can you cite for the particle nature of light? 1. Refraction phenomenon of light 2. The many colors of light 3. Di
GalinKa [24]
Evidence for the particle nature of light are not: 1. refraction, 2.  many colors of light, 3. diffraction. These are all phenomenon that support wave theory of light. Evidence for particle nature of light is photoelectric effect. Because it was discovered that you need discrete energies of light to eject electrons from a metal surface and not continuous as the wave theory of light suggests.
