The quarterback throws a football at 25 m/s at a certain angle above the horizontal. If it took the ball 2.5 s to reach the top

of its path, how long was it in the air?

Answer:

The ball was in the air for 5.0 seconds

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown above at a certain angle from the horizontal it follows a projectile motion.

The ball has a specific vertical and horizontal velocity.

The time take for the ball to reach at the top of its path is also the time taken by the vertical velocity vector to become zero. This is the first half of the projectile motion (ball is going up).

For the second half, the ball comes down and it accelerates with same gravitational acceleration from which it was decelerating in the first half. Hence the time to come down will be the same 2.5 seconds.

So the total time the ball was in the air is twice of 2.5, i.e,

5.0 seconds

Light of wavelength 597 nm falls on a double slit, and the first bright fringe of the interference pattern is seen at an angle o
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

2.2 µm

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

Given wavelength = 597 nm

Angle, \theta  = 15.8°

First bright fringe means , m = 1

So,

d\times sin\ 15.8^0=1\times \597\ nm

d\times 0.2723=1\times \597\ nm

d=2192.43481\ nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1 µm = 10⁻⁶ m

So,

1 nm = 10⁻³ nm

Thus,

<u>Distance between slits ≅ 2.2 µm</u>

Describe and name the different types of collision. In which are the linear momentum and kinetic energy conserved
ipn [44]

Answer:

1. Elastic collision

2. Inelastic collision    

Explanation:

Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision

the collision is described by the equation bellow

m1U1+ m2U2= m1V1+m2V2

Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity

the collision is described by the equation bellow

m1U1+ m2U2= V(m1+m2)

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.
