Answer:
R = 0.0503 m
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise, to find the range we can use the equation
R = v₀² sin 2θ / g
How we know the maximum height
² =
² - 2 g y
= 0
= √ 2 g y
= √ 2 9.8 / 15
= 1.14 m / s
Let's use trigonometry to find the speed
sin θ = / vo
vo = / sin θ
vo = 1.14 / sin 60
vo = 1.32 m / s
We calculate the range with the first equation
R = 1.32² sin(2 60) / 30
R = 0.0503 m
Answer:
s = 1.7 m
Explanation:
from the question we are given the following:
Mass of package (m) = 5 kg
mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg
radius = 8 x 10^5 m
velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s
spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m
compression (s) = ?
Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore
• Ei = Ef
• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system
• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}
• Ef = kinetic energy of the object
• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• s =
s =
s = 1.7 m
