Answer:

The speed at which the ball rolled off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table.

The position vector of the ball can be calculated as follows:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position.

v0y = initial vertical velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

When the ball reaches the ground, its position will be:

r final = (3, -4)

Then:

3 = x0 + v0x · t

-4 = y0 + v0y · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the table, x0 and y0 = 0. v0y is also 0 ( see the initial velocity vector in the figure to elucidate why). Then:

3 m = v0x · t

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

We can solve for "t" in the equation of the y-component and use it in the equation of the x-component to obtain v0x:

-4 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-4 m = -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

8 m / 9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 0.9 s

Then:

3 m = v0x · 0.9s

3 m/ 0.9 s = v0x

v0x = 3.3 m/s

The speed at which the ball roll off the end of the table is 3.3 m/s

Zolol [24]

Answer:

\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta} (for small oscillations)

Explanation:

The total energy of the pendulum is equal to:

E_{1} = m\cdot g \cdot (1-\cos \theta)\cdot L

For small oscillations, the equation can be re-arranged into the following form:

E_{1} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-\theta) \cdot L

Where:

\theta = \frac{A}{L^{2}}, measured in radians.

If the amplitude of pendulum oscillations is increase by a factor of 4, the angle of oscillation is 4\theta and the total energy of the pendulum is:

E_{2} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-4\theta)\cdot L

The factor of change is:

\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx \frac{1 - 4\theta}{1-\theta}

\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta}

You are pushing a 60 kg block of ice across the ground. You exert a constant force of 9 N on the block of ice. You let go after
kotykmax [81]

Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m

Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:

W = F.d.cosθ

F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.

For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:

W = F.d.cos(0)

W = F.d

To determine d:

d = \frac{W}{F}

d = \frac{3}{9}

d = 0.33 m

The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.

Two particles, each with charge Q, and a third charge q, are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle as shown. The tot
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

Explanation:

The image is shown below.

The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = \frac{kQq}{r^{2} }

we designate this force as N

Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.

Resolving the forces on the particle, we have

for the x-component

N_{x} = N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0

for the y-component

N_{y} = -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N

The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero (N_{x} = 0).

The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.

<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
