Answer:
The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.
hmax = 5740.48 m
Explanation:
This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.
V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°
So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:
V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s
V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s
When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:
Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0
tₐ = V₀y/g
tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s
Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:
h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²
hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²
hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m
hmax = 5740.48m
Your answer would be
D. Gasoline-powered cars are better for past acceleration and traveling at high speeds.
I just took this quiz and can confirm this is the correct answer!
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is
0.18 J
b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Explanation:
Hi there!
a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:
EPE = 1/2 · k · x²
Where:
k = spring constant.
x = stretched lenght.
Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).
First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:
4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²
EPE = 0.18 J
When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J
b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²
EPE = 0.72 J
When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
