A rock is thrown upward from level ground in such a way that the maximumheight of its flight is equal to its horizontal rangeR.

a) At what angleθis therock thrown? b) In terms of its original rangeR, what is the rangeRmaxtherock can attain if it is launched at the same speed but at the optimal anglefor maximum range? c) Would your answer to part a) be different if the rockis thrown with the same speed on a different planet? Explain.

A) The vertical component of velocity v is taking the rock to a height

Vertical component = vsin\theta
The time taken to reach maximum height = \frac{vsin\theta}{g}
So total time of rocks flight = \frac{2vsin\theta}{g}
Range of rock is due to the horizontal component of velocity = vcos\theta
Range = \frac{2*v*sin\theta*v*cos\theta}{g} = \frac{2*v^2*sin\theta*cos\theta}{g}
Maximum height = \frac{g*t^2}{2} = \frac{v^2*sin^2\theta}{2*g}
Since range = maximum height
We have \frac{2*v^2sin\theta*cos\theta}{g} = \frac{v^2*sin^2\theta}{2*g}
tan\theta = 4
\theta = 75.96^0
So when angle of projection is \theta = 75.96^0 range is equal to maximum height reached.
b) We have range = \frac{2*v^2*sin\theta*cos\theta}{g} =\frac{2*v^2*sin2\theta}{g}
Maximum of range is reached when \theta = 45^0
Maximum range = \frac{2*v^2}{g}
c) For range to be equal to maximum height only condition is tan\theta = 4, it does not depend upon acceleration due to gravity and velocity. That angle is a constant.

Why do the golf ball have dimples?
Igoryamba

Answer:

HELLO! I WILL EXPLAIN WHY GOLF BALLS HAVE DIMPLES.

Explanation:

DIMPLES ON A GOLF BALL CREATE A THIN BOUNDARY LAYER OF AIR THAT CLINGS TO THE BALL'S SURFACE. THIS ALLOWS THE AIR TO FOLLOW THE BALL'S SURFACE A LITTLE FARTHER AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE BALL, THEREBY DECREASING THE SIZE OF THE WAKE.

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.
