Answer:

Therefore the horizontal range = 294897.96 m.

Explanation:

Range of a projectile: The range is defined as the horizontal distance from the point of projection to the point where the projectile hit the projection plane again. The S.I unit of range is Meter (m).

It can be expressed mathematically as

R = u²sin2∅/g............................. Equation 1

Where R = Horizontal range, ∅ = angle of projection, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Given: u = 1700 m/s, </em>∅ = 55°,

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 1

R = (1700²sin55)/9.8

R = 2890000/9.8

R = 294897.96 m.

Therefore the horizontal range = 294897.96 m.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change

Explanation:

As we know that time period of oscillation of spring block system is given as

T= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}

now we know that

M = mass of the object

k = spring constant

So here we know that the time period is independent of the gravity

while the maximum displacement of the spring from its mean position will depends on the gravity as

mg = kx

x = \frac{mg}{k}

so we can say that

Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>

You accidentally slide a glass of milk off a table that is 0.9 m tall. How long does it take the milk to hit the ground.
labwork [276]

Fine, lets do a retry of this.

Δd = -0.9m

v₁ = 0

v₂ = ?

a = -9.8 m/s²

Δt = ?

We can use the following kinematic equation and solve for Δt.

                             Δd = v₁Δt + 0.5(a)(Δt)²

                             Δd = 0.5(a)(Δt)²

                           2Δd = a(Δt)²

                     √2Δd/a = Δt

√2(-0.9m)/(-9.8 m/s²) = Δt

0.<u>4</u>28571428574048 = Δt

Therefore, it takes 0.4 seconds for the glass to hit the ground, or 0.43s as you said (even though I don't believe it follows significant digit rules)

What is the change in potential energy of a 2.00 nC test charge, Uelectric, b - Uelectric, a, as it is moved from point a at x
lyudmila [28]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A uniform electric field of 2kN/C points in the +x-direction.

(a) What is the change in potential energy of a +2.00nC test charge, U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a} as it is moved from point a at x = -30.0 cm to point b at x = +50.0 cm?

(b) The same test charge is released from rest at point a. What is the kinetic energy when it passes through point b?

(c) If a negative charge instead of a positive charge were used in this problem, qualitatively, how would your answers change?

Answer: (a) ΔU = 3.2×10^{-6} J

(b) KE = 2×10^{-6} J

Explanation: <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy</u> (U) is the amount of work done due to its position or condition and its unit is Joule (J). <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy</u> (KE) is the ability to do work by virtue of velocity and the unit is also (J). <u>Mechanical</u> <u>Energy</u> is the sum of Potential and Kinetic Energies of a system.

(a) Related to electricity, Potential Energy can be calculated as:

ΔU = Eqd

where E is the electric field (in N/C);

q is the charge (in C);

d is the distance between plaques (in m);

For a at x = - 30cm and b at x = 50 cm:

E = 2×10^{3} N/C

q = 2×10^{-9} C

d = 50 - (-30) = 80×10^{-2} = 8×10^{-1}m

ΔU = U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a} = Eqd

U_{electric,b} - U_{electric,a} = 2×10^{3} .  2×10^{-9} . 8×10^{-1}

ΔU = 3.2×10^{-6} J

(b) Mechanical Energy is constant, so:

KE_{i} + U_{i} = KE_{f} + U_{f}

Since the initial position is zero and there is no initial kinetic energy:

KE_{f} = - U{f}

KE_{f} = - (2×10^{3}. 2×10^{-9} . 5×10^{-1})

KE_{f} = - 2.10^{-6} J

(c) If the charge is negative, electric field does positive work, which diminishes the potential energy. The charge flows from the negative side towards the positive side and stays, not doing anything.
