Answer:

a. The runner must run 15.35 m in the direction of the ball. b. 7.52 m/s

Explanation:

This is an example of projectile motion. We first calculate the range of the football to know where it is going to land.

Given,

initial speed of football,u = 20 m/s

Angle of projection, θ = 30°

a. We calculate the range R = u²sin2θ/g = 20²sin(2 × 30)/9.8 = 400sin60/9.8 = 400 × 0.8660/9.8 = 346.41/9.8 = 35.348 m ≅ 35.35 m

Since the receiver starts 20 m from the quarterback, the distance he runs in order to catch the ball is d = (35.35 - 20) m = 15.35 m.

So the runner must run 15.35 m in the direction of the ball.

b. The time it takes him to run the distance d = 15.35 m and catch the ball is the time it takes the projectile to land at the height he catches the ball which is given by t = 2usinθ/g = (2 × 20 × sin30)/9.8 = (40 × 0.5)/9.8 = 20/9.8 = 2.041 s ≅ 2.04 s

To find the constant speed at which the receiver must run in order to catch the ball at the same level of throw, we use s = vt + 1/2at²

since a = 0 (constant speed), s = vt ⇒ v = s/t

s = d = 15.35 m and t = 2.041 s

v = 15.35 m/2.041 s = 7.521 m/s ≅ 7.52 m/s

Answer:

a) In order to catch the ball at the level at which it is thrown in the direction of motion.

b)Speed of the receiver will be 7.52m/s

Explanation:

Calculating range,R= Vo^2Sin2theta/g

R= (20^2×Sin(2×30)/9.8 = 35.35m

Let receiver be(R-20) = 35.35-20= 15.35m

The horizontal component of the ball is:

Vox= Vocostheta= 20× cos30°

Vox= 17.32m/s

Time taken to coverR=35.35m with 17.32m/s will be:

t=R/Vox= 35.35/17.32

t= 2.04seconds

b)Speed required to cover 15.35m at 2.04seconds

Vxreciever= d/t = 15.35/2.04 = 7.52m/s

What is the acceleration of a rocket that speeds up from 50 m/s to 1000 m/s in 3 seconds?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

= 316.67 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration formula =

A = \frac{V_{f}  - V_{i} }{t}

A = \frac{1000 - 50}{3}

= \frac{950}{3}

= 316.67 m/s^2

A bowling ball is far from uniform. Lightweight bowling balls are made of a relatively low-density core surrounded by a thin she
tester [92]

Answer:

a)  I = 1,75 10-² kg m²  and b)  I = 1.49 10⁻² kg m²

Explanation:

The expression for the moment of inertia is

    I = ∫ r² dm

The moment of inertia is a scalar by which an additive magnitude, we can add the moments of inertia of each part of the system, taking into account the axis of rotation.

    I = I core + I shell

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere is

    I sphere = 2/5 MR²

The moment of inertia of a thin spherical shell is

    I shell = 2/3 M R²

a) Let's apply to our system, first to the core of weight 1.6 kg and diameter 0.196m, the radius is half the diameter

     R = d / 2

     R= 0.196 m / 2 = 0.098 m

     I core = 2/5 1.6 0.098²

     I core = 6.147 10-3 kg m²

Let's calculate the moment of inertia of the shell of mass 1.6 kg with a diameter of 0.206 m

    R = 0.206 / 2

    R = 0.103 m

    I shell = 2/3 1.6 0.103²

    I shell = 1,132 10-2 kg m²

The moment of inertia of the ball is the sum of these moments of inertia,

    I = I core + I shell

    I = 6,147 10⁻³ + 1,132 10⁻² = 6,147 10⁻³ + 11.32 10⁻³

    I = 17.47 10⁻³ kg m²

    I = 1,747 10-² kg m²

b) Now the ball is report with mass 3.2kg and diameter 0.216 m

    R = 0.216 / 2

    R = 0.108 m

It is a uniform sphere

    I = 2/5 M R²

    I = 2/5 3.2 0.108²

    I = 1.49 10⁻² kg m²
