When a hammer thrower releases her ball, she is aiming to maximize the distance from the starting ring. Assume she releases the

ball at an angle of 54.6 degrees above horizontal, and the ball travels a total horizontal distance of 30.1 m. What angular velocity must she have achieved (in radians/s) at the moment of the throw, assuming the ball is 1.15 m from the axis of rotation during the spin?

Answer:

The angular velocity is 15.37 rad/s

Solution:

As per the question:

$\theta = 54.6^{\circ}$

Horizontal distance, x = 30.1 m

Distance of the ball from the rotation axis is its radius, R = 1.15 m

Now,

To calculate the angular velocity:

Linear velocity, v = $\sqrt{\frac{gx}{sin2\theta}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{9.8\times 30.1}{sin2\times 54.6}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{294.98}{sin109.2^{\circ}}} = 17.67\ m/s$

Now,

The angular velocity can be calculated as:

$v = \omega R$

Thus

$\omega = \frac{v}{R} = \frac{17.67}{1.15} = 15.37\ rad/s$

Rogue waves are created along the "Wild Coast" off the southeast coast of ________, where the Agulhas Current flows directly aga

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Africa

Explanation:

A rogue wave refers to the wave that is twice the height of a significant wave occurring in a particular area. The significant wave height is generally referred to as the mean of the largest one-third of waves existing at a particular time period. In simple words, a rogue wave is much larger than any other waves that occur at the proximity of the same time.

This rough wave describes the interaction between the ocean and sea current and swelling of waves. It takes place when the large swells in the ocean, also known as the Antarctic storms, strikes with the rapidly traveling Agulhas current, and the curved water current focuses on the energy of the waves.

Thus, these Rogue waves are often generated along the southeastern coastal regions of Africa, where there occurs the convergence of Antarctic storm waves and Agulhas Current.

Guyz... Its my first question in this app... Pls do answer

Basile [38]

Answer:

1.414

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1. So:

1 sin 45° = n sin 30°

n = sin 45° / sin 30°

n = 1.414

Round as needed.

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur

muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) $E = \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }$

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) $\phi_E = \oint E \cdot dA = \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

From which we have;

$E \cdot A = \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0$

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) $\phi_E = \oint E \cdot dA = \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

$E \cdot A = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}$

$E = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}$

By Gauss theorem, we have;

$E\oint dS = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

Therefore, we get;

$E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}$

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

$E = \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }= \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }$

$k_e= \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }$

Therefore, we have;

$E = \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }$

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force of friction on the cart

Ber [7]

Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
$\sum F = ma$
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.

We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force $F_f$ acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
$F-F_a = ma$
or
$F=ma + F_f$

since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of $a=1.50 m/s^2$ , we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
$F=(30 kg)(1.5 m/s^2)+15 N=60 N$
