Answer:

Arrow (2)

Explanation:

Friction is a force due to the contact between the external surfaces of an object and the molecules of the medium in which the object is travelling through. In this particular case, friction is due to the molecules of air, which hit the arrow and slow it down. For this reason, friction is always directed in the opposite direction to the motion of the object: in this case, we see that the ball at point P is travelling in the right-upward direction, so friction acts in the left-downward direction, so it must be option (2).

Friction acts in opposite direction to applied force, as arrow is going upward right, friction will act in downward left..

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Serggg [28]

Answer:

$a=0.13m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of first team man $m_1=64kg$

Force of man first team man $F_1=1350$

Mass of second team man $m_2=69kg$

Force of man second team man $F_2=1367N$

Generally the equation for net force F_n is mathematically given by

$F_n=9(m_1+m_2)a$

$9(m_1+m_2)a=9(f_2-f_1)$

$9(64+69)a=9(1367-1350)$

$a=\frac{9(1367-1350)}{9(64+69)}$

$a=0.127819m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration is given by

$a=0.13m/s^2$

4. A ball is thrown with an initial speed vi at an angle θi with the horizontal. The

GalinKa [24]

Disclaimer: I ended up finding what's asked for in the reverse order (e)-(a).

At time $t$ , the horizontal position $x$ and vertical position $y$ of the ball are given respectively by

$x = v_i \cos(\theta_i) t$

$y = v_i \sin(\theta_i) t - \dfrac g2 t^2$

and the horizontal velocity $v_x$ and vertical velocity $v_y$ are

$v_x = v_i \cos(\theta_i)$

$v_y = v_i \sin(\theta_i) - gt$

The ball reaches its maximum height with $v_y=0$ . At this point, the ball has zero vertical velocity. This happens when

$v_i \sin(\theta_i) - gt = 0 \implies t = \dfrac{v_i \sin(\theta_i)}g$

which means

$y = \dfrac R6 = v_i \sin(\theta_i) \times \dfrac{v_i \sin(\theta_i)}g - \dfrac g2 \left(\dfrac{v_i \sin(\theta_i)}g\right)^2 \\\\ \implies R = \dfrac{6{v_i}^2 \sin^2(\theta_i)}g - \dfrac{3{v_i}^2 \sin^2(\theta_i)}g \\\\ \implies R = \dfrac{3{v_i}^2 \sin^2(\theta_i)}g$

At the same time, the ball will have traveled half its horizontal range, so

$x = \dfrac R2 = v_i \cos(\theta_i) \times \dfrac{v_i \sin(\theta_i)}g \\\\ \implies R = \dfrac{2{v_i}^2 \cos(\theta_i) \sin(\theta_i)}g$

Solve for $v_i$ and $\theta_i$ :

$\dfrac{3{v_i}^2 \sin^2(\theta_i)}g = \dfrac{2{v_i}^2 \cos(\theta_i) \sin(\theta_i)}g \\\\ \implies 3 \sin^2(\theta_i) = 2 \cos(\theta_i) \sin(\theta_i) \\\\ \sin(\theta_i) (3\sin(\theta_i) - 2 \cos(\theta_i)) = 0$

Since $0^\circ$ , we cannot have $\sin(\theta_i)=0$ , so we're left with (e)

$3 \sin(\theta_i) - 2\cos(\theta_i) = 0 \\\\ \implies 3 \sin(\theta_i) = 2\cos(\theta_i) \\\\ \implies \tan(\theta_i) = \dfrac23 \\\\ \implies \boxed{\theta_i = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right) \approx 33.7^\circ}$

Now,

$\cos\left(\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)\right) = \dfrac3{\sqrt{13}}$

$\sin\left(\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)\right) = \dfrac2{\sqrt{13}}$

so it follows that (d)

$R = \dfrac{2{v_i}^2 \times\frac3{\sqrt{13}} \times \frac2{\sqrt{13}}}g \\\\ \implies {v_i}^2 = \dfrac{13Rg}{12} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v_i = \sqrt{\dfrac{13Rg}{12}}}$

Knowing the initial speed and angle, the initial vertical component of velocity is (c)

$v_y = \sqrt{\dfrac{13Rg}{12}} \sin\left(\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)\right) \\\\ \implies v_y = \sqrt{\dfrac{13Rg}{12}} \times \dfrac2{\sqrt{13}} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v_y = \sqrt{\dfrac{Rg}3}}$

We mentioned earlier that the vertical velocity is zero at maximum height, so the speed of the ball is entirely determined by the horizontal component. (b)

$v_x = \sqrt{\dfrac{13Rg}{12}} \times \dfrac3{\sqrt{13}} \\\\ \implies v_x = \dfrac{\sqrt{3Rg}}{2}$

Then with $v_y=0$ , the ball's speed $v$ is

$v = \sqrt{{v_x}^2 + {v_y}^2} \\\\ \implies v = v_x \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = \dfrac{\sqrt{3Rg}}2}$

Finally, in the work leading up to part (e), we showed the time to maximum height is

$t = \dfrac{v_i \sin(\theta_i)}g$

but this is just half the total time the ball spends in the air. The total airtime is then

$2t = \dfrac{2 \times \sqrt{\frac{13Rg}{12}} \times \frac2{\sqrt{13}}}g \\\\ \implies 2t = 2\sqrt{\dfrac R{3g}}$

and the ball is in the air over the interval (a)

$\boxed{0 < t < 2\sqrt{\frac R{3g}}}$
