A ball is launched at an angle of 39.8 degrees up from the horizontal, with a muzzle velocity of 6.6 meters per second, from a l

aunch point which is 1 meters above the floor. How high will the ball be above the floor (in meters), when it is a horizontal distance of 2.7 meters away? Use 9.82 meters per second for "g".

Answer:

1.85 m

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

$v_x = v cos \theta = (6.6 m/s) cos 39.8^{\circ}=5.1 m/s$

The horizontal distance travelled is

d = 2.7 m

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, the time taken is

$t= \frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{2.7 m}{5.1 m/s}=0.53 s$

The vertical position of the ball is given by

$y= h + u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 1 m is the initial heigth

$u_y = v sin \theta = (6.6 m/s) sin 39.8^{\circ}=4.2 m/s$ is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.82 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting t = 0.53 s, we find the height of the ball at this time:

$y=1 m + (4.2 m/s)(0.53 s) - \frac{1}{2}(9.82 m/s^2)(0.53 s)^2=1.85 m$

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.50, at an angle of incidence of 45°. Calc

balandron [24]

Answer:

Approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Explanation:

The refractive index of the air $n_{\text{air}}$ is approximately $1.00$ .

Let $n_\text{glass}$ denote the refractive index of the glass block, and let $\theta _{\text{glass}}$ denote the angle of refraction in the glass. Let $\theta_\text{air}$ denote the angle at which the light enters the glass block from the air.

By Snell's Law:

$n_{\text{glass}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) = n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})$ .

Rearrange the Snell's Law equation to obtain:

$\begin{aligned} \sin(\theta_{\text{glass}}) &= \frac{n_{\text{air}} \, \sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}{n_{\text{glass}}} \\ &= \frac{(1.00)\, (\sin(45^{\circ}))}{1.50} \\ &\approx 0.471\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$\begin{aligned} \theta_{\text{glass}} &= \arcsin (0.471) \approx 28^{\circ}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the angle of refraction in the glass would be approximately $28^{\circ}$ .

Find the net work W done on the particle by the external forces during the motion of the particle in terms of the initial and fi

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$W=K_f-K_i$

Explanation:

The work done on a particle by external forces is defined as:

$W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i} {F\cdot dr} \,$

According to Newton's second law $F=ma$ . Thus:

$W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{ma\cdot dr} \,\\$

Acceleration is defined as the derivative of the speed with respect to time:

$W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{\frac{dv}{dt}\cdot dr} \,\\\\W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{dv \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}} \,$

Speed is defined as the derivative of the position with respect to time:

$W=m\int\limits^{v_f}_{v_i} v \cdot dv \,$

Kinetic energy is defined as $K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$ :

$W=m\frac{v_f^2}{2}-m\frac{v_i^2}{2}\\W=K_f-K_i$

Pascal's Principle states that (a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished at every point in the fluid and on the walls of the container.

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A2) of the piston.

P=F/A

P1=P2

F1/ A1= F2/ A2

F2= F1* A2/ A1

The pressure acting on one side is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid because the liquid is incompressible.

In an incompressible liquid, the volume and amount of mass does not vary when pressure is applied.

ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements. A person walks along

Elza [17]

To find the total number of miles traveled by a person, we add the distance that he has traveled: 3.0 + 5.00 + 4.000.

Now, to find the accurate number of significant figures when adding measurements, the basic rule for addition is to use the least number of decimal places when reporting the result.

Now, since 3.0 has the least number of decimal places, we report the sum with 1 decimal place and have 12.0 miles as the total distance traveled by the person to reach his destination.

Answer: 12.0 miles
