Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

Explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the projectile, Vx = 20 m/s

The range of the projectile, s = 80 m

The projectile projected from a height is given by the formula

                            <em> S = Vx [Vy + √(Vy² + 2gh)] / g </em>

Therefore,  

                            h = S²g/2Vx²

Substituting the values

                             h = 80² x 9.8/ (2 x 20²)

                                = 78.4 m

Hence, the height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter of spacecraft d=148\ m

radius r=74\ m

Force of gravity F_g=mg

where m =mass of object

g=acceleration due to  gravity on earth

Suppose v is the speed at which spacecraft is rotating so a net centripetal  acceleration is acting on spacecraft which is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

F_c=F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\frac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{1450.4}

v=38.08\ m/s

You used the right-hand rule to determine the z component of the angular momentum, but as a check, calculate in terms of positio
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

case x py   L is in the positive z direction

case y px   L the negative z direction

Explanation:

The angular amount is defined by the relation

         L = r x p

the bold are vectors, where r is the position vector and p is the linear amount vector.

The module of this vector can be concentrated by the relation

         L = r p sin θ

the direction of the vector L can be found by the right-hand rule where the thumb points in the direction of the displacement vector, the fingers extended in the direction of the moment p which is the same direction of speed and the palm points in the direction of the angular momentum L

in the case x py

the thumb is in the x direction, the fingers are extended in the direction and the palm is in the positive z direction

In the case y px

the thumb is in the y direction, the fingers are in the x direction, the palm is in the negative z direction
