Answer:

The rock must leave the cliff at a velocity of 28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The position vector of the rock at a time t can be calculated using the following equation:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

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 cliff so that x0 and y0 = 0.

When the rock reaches the ground, the position vector will be (see r1 in the figure):

r1 = (90 m, -50 m)

Then, using the equation of the vector position written above:

90 m = x0 + v0x · t

-50 m = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Since x0 and y0 = 0:

90 m = v0x · t

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

Let´s use the equation of the y-component of the vector r1 to find the time it takes the rock to reach the ground and with that time we can calculate v0x:

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

-50 m / -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 3.19 s

Now, using the equation of the x-component of r1:

90 m = v0x · t

90 m = v0x · 3.19 s

v0x = 90 m / 3.19 s

v0x = 28.2 m/s

An undamped 2.47 kg2.47 kg horizontal spring oscillator has a spring constant of 32.8 N/m.32.8 N/m. While oscillating, it is fou
olganol [36]

Answer:

0.631 m

6.53315 J

Explanation:

m = Mass = 2.47 kg

v = Velocity = 2.30 m/s

k = Spring constant = 32.8 N/m

A = Amplitude

In this system the energy is conserved

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{mv^2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.47\times 2.3^2}{32.8}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.631\ m

The amplitude is 0.631 m

Mechanical energy is given by

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{1}{2}2.47\times 2.3^2\\\Rightarrow E=6.53315\ J

The mechanical energy is 6.53315 J

A pitcher exerts 100.0 N of force on a ball with a power output of 4,500 W. What is the velocity of the ball? 0.02 m/s, 45 m/s,
OverLord2011 [107]
Power is defined as the amount of work over a certain amount of time. Work is also Force times the distance traveled. Simplifying the expression makes it Power=Force x Velocity. Since we are given that the power is 4500 W and the force is 100 N, dividing the Power by force gives 45 m/s, which is the velocity of the ball.

Consider a thin rod of mass 3.2 kg, length 1.2 m and uniform density. The rod is pivoted at one end on a frictionless horizontal
notsponge [240]

Answer:

the angular acceleration is 9.7 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

given information:

mass of thin rod, m = 3.2 kg

the length of the rod, L = 1.2

angle, θ = 38

to find the acceleration of the rod, we can use the torque's formula as below,

τ = Iα

where

τ = torque

I = inertia

σ = acceleration

moment inertia of this rod, I

I = \frac{1}{3} mL^{2}

τ = F d, d = \frac{L}{2}cosθ

τ = m g \frac{L}{2}cosθ

now we can substitute the both equation,

τ = Iα

α = τ/I

  = (m g \frac{L}{2}cosθ)/(\frac{1}{3} mL^{2})

  = 3gcosθ/2L

  = 3 (9.8)cos 38°/(2 x 1.2)

  = 9.7 rad/s^{2}

Two points are located on a rigid wheel that is rotating with decreasing angular velocity about a fixed axis. Point A is located
Norma-Jean [14]

d.Both points have the same instantaneous angular velocity.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each option one by one:

a.the angular velocity at point A is greater than that of point B.  --> FALSE. In fact, for a rigid body (such as the rigid wheel in this problem), all the points along the body rotates with the same angular velocity. This is because the angular velocity is defined as

\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}

where \theta is the angular displacement and t is the time taken. Therefore, all the points rotate by the same angle \theta in the same time t.

b.Both points have the same centripetal acceleration.  --> FALSE. The centripetal acceleration of a point along the disk is given by

a_c=\omega^2 r

where \omega is the angular velocity and r is the distance of the point from the axis of rotation. Here A is located farther away from the axis with respect to B, so it will have a greater centripetal acceleration.

c.Both points have the same tangential acceleration.  --> FALSE. The tangential acceleration is given by

a_t = \alpha r

where \alpha is the angular acceleration. \alpha is the same for every point for a rigid body, but r is not (A is located farther away), so A and B do not have same tangential acceleration.

d.Both points have the same instantaneous angular velocity.  --> TRUE. This is true for what we said at point A).

e.Each second, point A turns through a greater angle than point B. --> FALSE. The two points cover the same angular displacement in the same time, since they have same angular velocity.
