A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes

a target above the ground 2.80 seconds later. What are the x and y distances from where the projectile was launched to where it lands?

<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

x=V_{o}cos\theta t   (1)

Where:

V_{o}=54.5m/s is the projectile's initial speed

\theta=35\° is the angle

t=2.80s is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

x  is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (2)

Where:

y_{o}=0  is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it  was launched at ground level)

y  is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

g=9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)   (3)

x=125m   (4)  This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}   (5)

y=48.308m   (6)  This is the vertical final position of the projectile

Water waves in a small tank are .06 m long. They pass a given point at a rate of 14.8 waves every three seconds. What is the spe
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Speed = 0.296m/2

Period = 0.203 s

Explanation:

If by 'long' you mean the wavelength of the waves, then the wavelength \lambda=0.06m.

The frequency f of the waves is 14.8 waves every 3 seconds or

f=14.8/3 =4.33Hz.

Now the relationship between wavelength \lambda, frequency f and speed v of the waves is:

v=\lambda f

We put in the values \lambda=0.06m and f=4.933Hz and get:

\boxed{v=0.06*4.922=0.296m/s}

Now the period T is just the inverse of the frequency, or

T=\frac{1}{f}

\boxed{T=\frac{1}{4.933}=0.203\:seconds }

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (liter) of water 1°c?
Gnoma [55]

Heat required in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
Heat = 1 kg (4.18 kJ / kg C)( 1 C)
<span>Heat = 4.18 kJ energy needed</span></span>

Two generators use the same magnetic field and operate at the same frequency. Each has a single-turn circular coil. One generato
Volgvan

Answer:

The coil radius of other generator is 5.15 cm

Explanation:

Consider the equation for induced emf in a generator coil:

EMF = NBAω Sin(ωt)

where,

N = No. of turns in coil

B = magnetic field

A = Cross-sectional area of coil = π r²

ω = angular velocity

t = time

It is given that for both the coils magnetic field, no. of turn and frequency is same. Since, the frequency is same, therefore, the angular velocity, will also be same. As, ω = 2πft.

Therefore, EMF for both coils or generators will be:

EMF₁ = NBπr₁²ω Sin(ωt)

EMF₂ = NBπr₂²ω Sin(ωt)

dividing both the equations:

EMF₁/EMF₂ = (r₁/r₂)²

r₂ = r₁ √(EMF₂/EMF₁)

where,

EMF₁ = 1.8 V

EMF₂ = 3.9 V

r₁ = 3.5 cm

r₂ = ?

Therefore,

r₂ = (3.5 cm)√(3.9 V/1.8 V)

<u>r₂ = 5.15 cm</u>

A straight 1.20 m long conductor has a 2.00 A current travelling toward the East. Earth's magnetic field in this location is 4.9
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Force's magnitude=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Direction: down (towards the center of the Earth)

Explanation:

Recall that the magnetic force on a conductor of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by the equation: F=I\,L\,B in the case the magnetic field B and the direction of the current are at 90 degrees from each other (which is our case). The direction of the force will be given by the "right hand rule" associated with the vector product that defines this force.

Since the current is moving East, and the magnetic field of the Earth goes from North to South, the resultant Force vector will be pointing towards the Earth (and perpendicular to the plane defined by the current's direction and the magnetic field B)

The magnitude of the force, is given by the formula above, and given that all quantities to be considered are is SI units, it will result in Newtons (N):

F=I\,L\,B\\F=2\,*\,1.2\,*\,4.9\,10^{-5}\,N\\F=1.176\,10^{-4}\,N

Compute the velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts. express your answe
Elodia [21]

The velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts will be 5.93 * 10^{6} m/s

Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons.

By conservation of energy, the kinetic energy has to equal the change in potential energy, so KE=q*V. The energy of the electron in electron-volts is numerically the same as the voltage between the plates.

given

charge of electron = 1.6 × 10^{-19} C

mass of electron  = 9.1 × 10^{-31} kg

Force in an electric field = q*E

potential energy is stored in the form of work done

potential energy = work done = Force * displacement

                                                   = q * (E * d)  

                                                   = q * (V) = 1.6 × 10^{-19} * 100

stored potential energy = kinetic energy in electric field

kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * v^{2}

                        = 1/2 *  9.1 × 10^{-31} *  v^{2}

equation both the equations

1/2 *  9.1 × 10^{-31} *  v^{2} = 1.6 × 10^{-17}

v^{2} = 0.352 * 10^{14} m/s

v^{2} = 35.2 * 10^{12}

    = 5.93 * 10^{6} m/s
