Answer:

If there was no air resistance

Explanation:

We know that free fall is a unique motion in which gravity only works on one object. Objects that are said to be free-falling do not experience a significant force of air resistance; They come under the sole effect of gravity. Under such conditions, all objects fall under the same acceleration, regardless of their mass.

As a rocket travels upward from earth, air resistance decreases along with the force of gravity. The rocket's mass also decrease

ddd [48]

Answer:

The decrease of these factors increases the acceleration.

Explanation:

Hi, the decrease of these factors increases the acceleration.

Air resistance is a force opposing the acceleration. So if it decreases, the acceleration increases, because the opposite forces decreases.

The same is applied to the force of gravity, since the rocket travels upward; gravity is also an opposite force.

Finally, if the mass decreases, it means that the rocket becomes lighter and the force acting on the smaller mass causes an increase in the acceleration.

A ball is thrown with an initial speed vi at an angle i with the horizontal. The horizontal range of the ball is R, and the ball

adell [148]

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 2\sqrt{\frac{R}{3g}}$

Part b)

$v_x = \frac{\sqrt{3Rg}}{2}$

Part c)

$v_y = \sqrt{Rg/3}$

Part d)

$v = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13Rg}$

Part e)

$\theta_i = 33.7 degree$

Part f)

$H = \frac{13R}{8}$

Part g)

$X = \frac{13R}{4}$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the launch is given as

initial speed = $v_i$

angle = $\theta_i$ degree

Now the two components of the velocity

$v_x = v_i cos\theta_i$

similarly we have

$v_y = v_i sin\theta_i$

Part a)

Now we know that horizontal range is given as

$R = \frac{v_i^2 (2sin\theta_icos\theta_i)}{g}$

maximum height is given as

$H = \frac{R}{6} = \frac{v_i^2 sin^2\theta_i}{2g}$

so we have

$v_i sin\theta = \sqrt{Rg/3}$

time of flight is given as

$T = \frac{2v_isin\theta_i}{g}$

$T = \frac{2\sqrt{Rg/3}}{g}$

$T = 2\sqrt{\frac{R}{3g}}$

Part b)

Now the speed of the ball in x direction is always constant

so at the peak of its path the speed of the ball is given as

$R = v_x T$

$R = v_x 2\sqrt{\frac{R}{3g}}$

$v_x = \frac{\sqrt{3Rg}}{2}$

Part c)

Initial vertical velocity is given as

$v_y = v_i sin\theta_i$

$v_i sin\theta = \sqrt{Rg/3}$

Part d)

Initial speed is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

so we will have

$v = \sqrt{Rg/3 + 3Rg/4}$

$v = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{13Rg}$

Part e)

Angle of projection is given as

$tan\theta_i = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$tan\theta_i = \frac{\sqrt{Rg/3}}{\sqrt{3Rg}/2}$

$\theta_i = 33.7 degree$

Part f)

If we throw at same speed so that it reach maximum height

then the height will be given as

$H = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$H = \frac{13R}{8}$

Part g)

For maximum range the angle should be 45 degree

so maximum range is

$X = \frac{v^2}{g}$

$X = \frac{13R}{4}$
