The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

An object is 39 cm away from a concave mirrors surface along the principles axis. If the mirrors focal length is 9.50 cm, how fa

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

12.6 cm

Explanation:

We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where here we have

f = 9.50 cm is the focal length

p = 39 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror

Solving the equation for q, we find:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{9.50 cm}-\frac{1}{39 cm}=0.080 cm^{-1}\\q = \frac{1}{0.080 cm}=12.6 cm$

The drawing shows two situations in which charges are placed on the x and y axes. They are all located at the same distance of 5

ra1l [238]

Answer:

For situation (a)

net charge E = E₊₂ + E₋₅ + E₋₃

E = K(q/d²)

where K = 8.99e9

d = 5.7cm = 5.7e-2m

Therefore,

E₊₂(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((2.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 3.15e5(+x)

E₋₅(y) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((5.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 7.88e5(+y)

E₋₃(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((3.0e6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 4.73e5(+x)

thus

E = E₊₂ + E₋₅ + E₋₃

= 3.15e5(x) + 7.88e5(y) + 4.73e6(x)

= 7.88e6(x) + 7.88e6(y)

use Pythagorean theorem

I <em>E </em>I = $\sqrt{(7.89e5)^{2} + (7.89e5)^{2}}$ = 1.242e6 $\frac{N}{C}$

∅ = $tan^{-1}$ $(\frac{7.88e5}{7.88e5} )$ = $tan^{-1}(1)$ = 45°

Thus for (a) net magnitude = 1.115e6 $\frac{N}{C}$ @ 45° above +x axis

for situation (b)

net charge E = E₊₄ + E₊₁ + E₋₁ + E₊₆

E₊₄(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((4.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 6.30e5(+x)

E₊₁(y) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((1.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 1.58e5(-y)

E₋₁(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((1.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 1.58e5(+x)

E₊₆(y) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((6.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 9.46e5(+y)

thus,

E = E₊₄ + E₊₁ + E₋₁ + E₊₆

= 6.30e5(x) - 1.58e5(y) + 1.58e5(x) + 9.46e5(y)

= 7.88e5(x) + 7.88e5(y)

use Pythagorean theorem

I <em>E </em>I = $\sqrt{(7.88e5)^{2} + (7.88e5)^{2}}$ = 1.242e6 $\frac{N}{C}$

∅ = $tan^{-1}$ $(\frac{7.88e5}{7.88e5} )$ = $tan^{-1}(1)$ = 45°

Thus for (a) and (b) the net magnitude = 1.242e6 $\frac{N}{C}$ @ 45° above +x axis
