A novelty golf ball of mass m is launched with an initial velocity v0 = (25i + 13j) m/s and then follows a parabolic trajectory.

At the top of the ball’s trajectory, it explodes into two fragments A and B. Fragment A has mass mA = 1/3 m and is stationary immediately after the explosion, while Fragment B has mass mB = 2/3 m and has non-zero velocity vB immediately after splitting from Fragment A. In answering the following questions, ignore air resistance and assume the terrain over which the ball and fragments fly is level.(a) How many seconds after the launch does the ball attain its maximum height? (b) What is the velocity v of the ball immediately prior to the explosion? (c) What is the velocity of Fragment B immediately before it hits the ground?

Explanation:

(a)

The initial vertical velocity is 13 m/s.  At the maximum height, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s.

v = at + v₀

0 = (-9.8) t + 13

t ≈ 1.33 s

(b)

Immediately prior to the explosion, the ball is at the maximum height.  Here, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s, and the horizontal velocity is constant at 25 m/s.

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = √(25² + 0²)

v = 25 m/s

(c)

Momentum is conserved before and after the explosion.

In the x direction:

m vx = ma vax + mb vbx

m (25) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vbx)

25m = (⅔ m) (vbx)

25 = ⅔ vbx

vbx = 37.5 m/s

And in the y direction:

m vy = ma vay + mb vby

m (0) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vby)

0 = (⅔ m) (vby)

vby = 0 m/s

Since the vertical velocity hasn't changed, and since Fragment B lands at the same height it was launched from, it will have a vertical velocity equal in magnitude and opposite in direction as its initial velocity.

vy = -13 m/s

And the horizontal velocity will stay constant.

vx = 37.5 m/s

The velocity vector is (37.5 i - 13 j) m/s.  The magnitude is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = √(37.5² + (-13)²)

v ≈ 39.7 m/s

A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of vector a = 2.00ĵ m/s2 and an initial velocity of vector v i =
natali 33 [55]

With acceleration

\mathbf a=\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\mathbf j

and initial velocity

\mathbf v(0)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i

the velocity at time <em>t</em> (b) is given by

\mathbf v(t)=\mathbf v(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf a\,\mathrm du

\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\displaystyle\int_0^t\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\,\mathbf j\,\mathrm du

\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=t}

\mathbf v(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\,\mathbf j

We can get the position at time <em>t</em> (a) by integrating the velocity:

\mathbf x(t)=\mathbf x(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^t\mathbf v(u)\,\mathrm du

The particle starts at the origin, so \mathbf x(0)=\mathbf0.

\mathbf x(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^t\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u\,\mathbf j\,\mathrm du

\mathbf x(t)=\left(\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)u\,\mathbf i+\dfrac12\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)u^2\,\mathbf j\right)\bigg|_{u=0}^{u=t}

\mathbf x(t)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\,\mathbf i+\left(1.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\,\mathbf j

Get the coordinates at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s by evaluating \mathbf x(t) at this time:

\mathbf x(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)\,\mathbf i+\left(1.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)^2\,\mathbf j

\mathbf x(8.00\,\mathrm s)=(64.0\,\mathrm m)\,\mathbf i+(64.0\,\mathrm m)\,\mathbf j

so the particle is located at (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) = (64.0, 64.0).

Get the speed at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s by evaluating \mathbf v(t) at the same time:

\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(2.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(8.00\,\mathrm s)\,\mathbf j

\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)=\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(16.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j

This is the <em>velocity</em> at <em>t</em> = 8.00 s. Get the <em>speed</em> by computing the magnitude of this vector:

\|\mathbf v(8.00\,\mathrm s)\|=\sqrt{\left(8.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+\left(16.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}=8\sqrt5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx17.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

A bullet is fired horizontally at a height of 1.3 meters and a velocity of 950 m/s. How long was the bullet in the air?
seropon [69]

Answer:

<em>The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

It occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h.

The object describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it hits the ground.

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the following equation:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Note it doesn't depend on the initial velocity but on the height.

The bullet is fired horizontally at h=1.3 m, thus:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 1.3}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2.6}{9.8}}

t = 0.52 s

The bullet was 0.52 seconds in the air.

A circuit consists of one 330 ohm resistor in series with two other resistors (470 ohms and 220 ohms) connected in parallel. Wha
umka21 [38]

Answer:

power drain on an ideal battery, P = 0.017 W

Given:

R_{1} = 330\ohm

R_{2} = 470\ohm

R_{3} = 220\ohm

Since, R_{2} = 470\ohm and R_{3} = 220\ohm are in parallel and this combination is in series with R_{1} = 330\ohm, so,

Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by:

R_{eq} = \frac{R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{2} + R_{3}} + R_{1}

R_{eq} = \frac{470\times 220}{470 + 220} + 330

R_{eq} = 149.85 + 330 = 479.85 \ohm

power drain on an ideal battery, P = \frac{V^{2}}{R_{eq}}

                                                      P = \frac{2.9^{2}}{479.85}

                                                      P = 0.017 W
