Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that the formula of range is given as
now we know that
maximum value of the range of the projectile is given as
now we need to find such angles for which the range is half the maximum value
so we will have
A scientist wants to calculate the kinetic energy of a cheetah as it chases down its prey. What does the scientist need to measu
2 answers:
Answer:
the cheetah's amount of matter
the cheetah's speed
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is calculated according to the following equation
K.E =
where m represents the mass of the body in kilograms
and v represents the magnitude of the velocity which is know as speed of the body in m/s
Knowing this then, the scientist needs two things from that list:
the cheetah's amount of matter (also known as the mass)
the cheetah's speed

Answer:
39.81 N
Explanation:
I attached an image of the free body diagrams I drew of crate #1 and #2.
Using these diagram, we can set up a system of equations for the sum of forces in the x and y direction.
∑Fₓ = maₓ
∑Fᵧ = maᵧ
Let's start with the free body diagram for crate #2. Let's set the positive direction on top and the negative direction on the bottom. We can see that the forces acting on crate #2 are in the y-direction, so let's use Newton's 2nd Law to write this equation:
- ∑Fᵧ = maᵧ
- T₁ - m₂g = m₂aᵧ
Note that the tension and acceleration are constant throughout the system since the string has a negligible mass. Therefore, we don't really need to write the subscripts under T and a, but I am doing so just so there is no confusion.
Let's solve for T in the equation...
- T₁ = m₂aᵧ + m₂g
- T₁ = m₂(a + g)
We'll come back to this equation later. Now let's go to the free body diagram for crate #1.
We want to solve for the forces in the x-direction now. Let's set the leftwards direction to be positive and the rightwards direction to be negative.
- ∑Fₓ = maₓ
- F_f - F_g sinΘ = maₓ
The normal force is equal to the x-component of the force of gravity.
- (F_n · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
- (F_g cosΘ · μ_k) - m₁g sinΘ = m₁aₓ
- [m₁g cos(30) · 0.28] - [m₁g sin(30)] = m₁aₓ
- [(6)(9.8)cos(30) · 0.28] - [(6)(9.8)sin(30)] = (6)aₓ
- [2.539595871] - [-58.0962595] = 6aₓ
- 60.63585537 = 6aₓ
- aₓ = 10.1059759 m/s²
Now let's go back to this equation:
- T₁ = m₂(a + g)
We have 3 known variables and we can solve for the tension force.
- T = 2(10.1059759 + 9.8)
- T = 2(19.9059759)
- T = 39.8119518 N
The tension force is the same throughout the string, therefore, the tension in the string connecting M2 and M3 is 39.81 N.
