In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. the height of the counter is 1.15 m. the mug

slides off the counter and strikes the floor 1.50 m from the base of the counter. (a) with what velocity did the mug leave the counter? (b) what was the direction of the mug's velocity just before it hit the floor?

<span>A.    </span>Let’s say the horizontal component of the velocity is vx and the vertical is vy. <span>
Initially at t=0 (as the mug leaves the counter) the components are v0x and v0y. 
<span>v0y = 0 since the customer slides it horizontally so applied force is in the x component only.

<span>The equations for horizontal and vertical projectile motion are:
x = x0 + v0x t 
y = y0 + v0y t - 1/2 g t^2 = y0 - 1/2 g t^2 </span></span></span>

Setting the origin to be the end corner of the counter so that x0=0 and y0=0, hence:

x = v0x t

y = - 1/2 g t^2 

Given value are: x=1.50m and y=-1.15m (y is negative since mug is going down)

<span>1.50m = v0x t    ---->  v0x= 1.50/t</span>

<span>-1.15m = -(1/2) (9.81) t^2    -----> t =0.4842 s</span>

Calculating for v0x:

v0x = 3.10 m/s

<span>B.    </span>v0x is constant since there are no other horizontal forces so, v0x=vx=3.10m/s

vy can be calculated from the formula:

<span>vy = v0y + at         where a=-g (negative since going down)</span>

vy = -gt = -9.81 (0.4842)

vy = -4.75 m/s

 

Now to get the angle below the horizontal, tan(90-Ø) = -vx/vy

tan(90-Ø )= 3.1/4.75

Ø = 56.87˚<span> below the horizontal</span>

(a) The velocity of mug was 3.10 m/s

(b) The direction of the mug's velocity just about it hit the floor is about 56.9° below the horizontal

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

This problem is about Projectile Motion.

<u>Given:</u>

horizontal distance = x = 1.50 m

height of the counter = h = 1.15 m

<u>Unknown:</u>

a. initial velocity = u = ?

b. direction of the mug's velocity = θ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Question a:</em>

x = ut

1.5 = ut

t = \frac{1.5}{u} → <em>Equation 1</em>

\texttt{ }

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

h = \frac{1}{2}g(\frac{1.5}{u})^2 ← <em>Equation 1</em>

1.15 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(\frac{1.5}{u})^2

1.15 = \frac{441}{40} \div u^2

u^2 = \frac{441}{40} \div 1.15

u^2 = \frac{441}{46}

u = \sqrt{\frac{441}{46}}

u \approx 3.10 \texttt{ m/s}

\texttt{ }

<em>Question b:</em>

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{v_y}{v_x}

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{-gt}{u}

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{-g\frac{x}{u}}{u}

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{-gx}{u^2}

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{-9.8(1.5)}{3.10^2}

\theta = \tan^{-1} (-\frac{23}{15})

\theta \approx -56.9^o \texttt{ to the horizontal}

If Scoobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 450.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The value is t = 3.6 \  days

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is v  =  450.0 km/h

The radius of the earth is R =  6200 \  km

Generally the circumfernce of the earth is mathematically evaluated as

C =  2\pi  R

=> C =   2 * 3.142 *   6200

=> C =  38960.8 \ km

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{38960.8}{450.0}

         t = 86.6 \  hr

Converting to days

         t = \frac{86.6}{24}

=>       t = 3.6 \  days

What is the purpose of each of the components (each shown with leader and line) of the circuit shown is the diagram?
NemiM [27]

The wires is what is needed to put together the whole thing, kinda like glue when you're gluing a piece of paper on it.

Anyways, the battery is the main source and main energy per say.

That energy that comes from the battery, thanks to the wires, it can transfer that said energy to both the switch and light bulb.

And as you flick the switch, it depends of how you put it together, there's two options, turning the light bulb on or turning it off.

Though it doesn't mean that since the light bulb is connected to the battery makes the bulb turn on no matter what since the switch can cancel the main source's energy.

Explain how friction keeps a nail in place in a block of wood. If you try pull out the nail which way does friction act?
Bess [88]

Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.

A charged particle is accelerated in a uniform electric field. When its velocity is 2 m/s, its electric potential energy is 100
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

particle's potential energy = 70J

Explanation:

From conservation of energy; K1 + Ue1 = K2 + Ue2

where K1 and K2 are the kinetic energies at two positions and Ue1 and Uue2 are the electrical potential energies at two positions.

k1 = 10J, Ue1 = 100J

K2 = 40J

substitute into K1 + Ue1 = K2 + Ue2

Ue2 = K1 + Ue1 - K2

= 10 +100 - 40

Ue2 = 70J
