Find the angle (above the horizontal) at which a projectile achieves its maximum range, if y=y0.

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is 45 degrees.
According to the Kinematics of projectile motion, if the purpose is to maximize range, optimum angle of landing is always 45 degrees.If the purpose is to maximize range & projection height is zero, the optimum angle of projection (and landing) is 45 degrees.

A toy cart at the end of a string 0.70 m long moves in a circle on a table. The cart has a mass of 2.0 kg and the string has a b

luda_lava [24]

Given that the mass of the toy cart is 2.0 kg and and the acceleration is unknown, the normal formula would be a=f/m where a is acceleration, f is force and m is mass but the string's breaking strength is 40n so I think the formula in this case will be f is greater than m*a
40 is greater than 2a
40 is greater than 2a
40/2 is greater than 2a/2
20m/s² is greater than a
Therefore the maximum speed the toy cart should have should be less than 20m/s²

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.

dezoksy [38]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) .

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² (rounded) .

650 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²): 650 N / 9.8 m/s² = mass

Mass = 66.3 kilograms (rounded)

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per

Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

$V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\ - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\ - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\ - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr$

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr
