Answer:

θ₀ = 84.78° (OR) 5.22°

Explanation:

This situation can be treated as projectile motion. The parameters of this projectile motion are:

R = Range of Projectile = 150 m

V₀ = Launch Speed of Projectile = 90 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

θ₀ = Launch angle (OR) Angle of Elevation = ?

The formula for range of a projectile is given as:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ₀/g

Sin 2θ₀ = Rg/V₀²

Sin 2θ₀ = (150 m)(9.8 m/s²)/(90 m/s)²

2θ₀ = Sin⁻¹ (0.18)

θ₀ = 10.45°/2

<u>θ₀ = 5.22°</u>

Also, we know that for the same launch velocity the range will be same for complementary angles. Therefore, another possible value of angle is:

θ₀ = 90° - 5.22°

<u>θ₀ = 84.78°</u>

It took a bulldozer 62,000 J of work to move a rock 30 m. It took 5 minutes. How much force did the bulldozer have to apply?
NeX [460]

Answer:

A (2066,6 N)

Explanation:

Use the Work formula

62.000J = F . 30

62.000/30 = 2066,6 N

The amout of time it took to move the rock doesn´t matter at all.

It is called a distraction variable, We don´t need it to solve the problem it is there just to confuse.

<span>2002 seconds, or 33 minutes, 22 seconds. First, let's calculate how many joules it will take to lift 78 kg against gravity for 1100 meters. So: 78 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1100 m = 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 Now a watt is defined as kg*m^2/s^3, so a division of the required joules should give us a convenient value of seconds. So: 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 / 420 kg*m^2/s^3 = 2002 seconds. And 2002 seconds is the same as 33 minutes, 22 seconds.</span>
