The optimal angle of 45° for maximum horizontal range is only valid when initial height is the same as final height.
<span>In that particular situation, you can prove it like this: </span>
<span>initial velocity is Vo </span>
<span>launch angle is α </span>
<span>initial vertical velocity is </span>
<span>Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>horizontal velocity is </span>
<span>Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>total time in the air is the the time it needs to fall back to a height of 0 m, so </span>
<span>d = v×t + a×t²/2 </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>d = distance = 0 m </span>
<span>v = initial vertical velocity = Vv = Vo×sin(α) </span>
<span>t = time = ? </span>
<span>a = acceleration by gravity = g (= -9.8 m/s²) </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>0 = Vo×sin(α)×t + g×t²/2 </span>
<span>0 = (Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2)×t </span>
<span>t = 0 (obviously, the projectile is at height 0 m at time = 0s) </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>Vo×sin(α) + g×t/2 = 0 </span>
<span>t = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>Now look at the horizontal range. </span>
<span>r = v × t </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>r = horizontal range = ? </span>
<span>v = horizontal velocity = Vh = Vo×cos(α) </span>
<span>t = time = -2×Vo×sin(α)/g </span>
<span>so </span>
<span>r = (Vo×cos(α)) × (-2×Vo×sin(α)/g) </span>
<span>r = -(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g </span>
<span>To find the extreme values of r (minimum or maximum) with variable α, you must find the first derivative of r with respect to α, and set it equal to 0. </span>
<span>dr/dα = d[-(Vo)²×sin(2α)/g] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × d[sin(2α)] / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -(Vo)²/g × cos(2α) × d(2α) / dα </span>
<span>dr/dα = -2 × (Vo)² × cos(2α) / g </span>
<span>Vo and g are constants ≠ 0, so the only way for dr/dα to become 0 is when </span>
<span>cos(2α) = 0 </span>
<span>2α = 90° </span>
<span>α = 45° </span>
Answer:
Weightlessness
Explanation:
When the elevator is in free fall, this can only occur when the cord of the elevator breaks.
The acceleration of the elevator will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. That is:
a = g
Then, the body will experience what we called WEIGHTLESSNESS
Where the normal reaction N of the person will tend to zero. That is
N = 0
The value of FN < 0 because the person inside the lift will experience weightlessness.
Answer:
Explanation:
Where E is the magnitude of electric field...
k is called Columb's Constant. It has a value of 8.99 x 109 N m2/C2.
Qs is the magnitude of the source charge...
and r is the magnitude of distance between source and target...
(When electron comes to rest Δt the magnitude of Electric field E become zero momentarily but later achieves the maximum value...)
The last equation gives you the tension in the string on the right:
