Calculate the distance traveled by a projectile as a function of launch angle. Compare the distances for two projectiles launche

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

$R = x_{max} = \frac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(2\theta_1}{\sin(2\theta_2}$

Explanation:

Using kinematics equations:

$\Delta x = v_{0x}t\\\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_{0y}t$

Use $\Delta y = 0$ due to condition of distance traveled.

Solving second equation for time, there are two solutions. t=0 and

$t=\frac{2v_{0y}}{g}$

Use the expression in the first equation to have

$R = \frac{2v^2 \cos\theta\sin\theta}{g}$

Using trigonometric identities, you have the answer of the distance.

By doing the ratio for two different angles, you have the second answer. Due to sine function properties, the distances can be the same to complementary angles. Example, for 20° and 70°, the distance is the same.

An open rectangular tank 1 m wide and 2 m long contains gasoline to a depth of 1 m. If the height of the tank sides is 1.5 m, wh

lara [203]

Answer:

$a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangular tank, b = 1 m

Length of the tank, l = 2 m

height of the tank, d = 1.5 m

Depth of gasoline on the tank, h = 1 m

$\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-\dfrac{1.5-1}{1}$

$\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-0.5$

The differential form with the acceleration

$\dfrac{dz}{dy}=\dfrac{-a_y}{a_z + g}$

$-0.5=-\dfrac{a_y}{a_z + g}$

acceleration in z-direction = 0 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

a_y is the horizontal acceleration of the gasoline.

$0.5=\dfrac{a_y}{0 + 9.8}$

$a_y = 9.8\times 0.5$

$a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2$

Hence, Horizontal acceleration of the gasoline before gasoline would spill is equal to 4.9 m/s²

Q:-What is speed????

Margarita [4]

Explanation:

In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of the rate of change of its position with time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.

SI unit: m/s, m s−1

s=d/t

Physics question, help please!

The change in potential energy when the block falls to ground is -480J.

The maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball is 480 J.

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is 0 J.

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 0.148J.

The initial potential energy of the ball is 0.187 J.

The final potential energy of the ball is 0 J.

The work done by the air resistance is 0.039 J.

<h3>Change in potential energy when the block falls to ground</h3>

ΔP.E = -mgh

ΔP.E = -Wh

ΔP.E = - 40 x 12

ΔP.E = -480 J

<h3>Maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

ΔK.E = - ΔP.E

ΔK.E = - (-480 J)

ΔK.E = 480 J

<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

K.Ei = 0.5mv²

where;

v is zero since it is initially at rest

K.Ei = 0.5m(0) = 0

<h3>Final kinetic energy</h3>

K.Ef = 0.5mv²

K.Ef = 0.5(0.0091)(5.7)²

K.Ef = 0.148 J

<h3>Initial potential energy of the ball</h3>

P.Ei = mghi

P.Ei = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 2.1

P.Ei = 0.187 J

<h3>Final potential energy</h3>

P.Ef = mghf

P.Ef = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 0

P.Ef = 0

<h3>Work done by the air resistance</h3>

W = ΔE

W = P.E - K.E

W = 0.187 J - 0.148 J

W = 0.039 J
