A 87 kg man has a total mechanical energy of 1780 J .If he is swinging downward and is currently 1.4 m above the ground, what is
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

6.4m/s

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the man is 1780J.

This mechanical energy is the energy due to the motion of the body and it is a form of kinetic energy.

 Also, mass  = 87kg

   Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2}   m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

           1780  =  \frac{1}{2} x 87 x v²

                v²  = 40.9

                v  = 6.4m/s

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and consider t
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

just before landing the ground

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection is u and the angle of projection is 30°.

Let T is the time of flight and R is the horizontal distance traveled. As there is no force acting in horizontal direction, so the horizontal velocity remains constant. Let the particle hits the ground with velocity v.

initial horizontal component of velocity, ux = u Cos 30

initial vertical component of velocity, uy = u Sin 30

Time of flight is given by

T = \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}

Final horizontal component of velocity, vx = ux = u Cos 30

Let vy is teh final vertical component of velocity.

Use first equation of motion

vy = uy - gT

v_{y}=u_{y}- g \times \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}

v_{y}=u Sin 30 - 2u Sin 30

vy = - u Sin 30

The magnitude of final velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v = \sqrt{\left (uCos 30  \right )^{2}+\left (uSin 30  \right )^{2}}

v = u

Thus, the velocity is same as it just reaches the ground.

An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 2.0 mm in diameter and has a current of 1.0 mA.
rewona [7]

Answer:

the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter D = 2.0 mm

current I = 1.0 mA

K.E of each proton is 20 MeV

the number density of the protons in the beam = ?

Now, we make use of the relation between current and drift velocity

I = MeAv ⇒ 1 / eAv

The kinetic energy of protons is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}m_{p}v²

v = √( 2K / m_{p} )

lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;

A = \frac{1}{4}πD²

now, we substitute for v and A

n = I / \frac{1}{4}πeD² ×√( 2K / m_{p} )

n = 4I/π eD² × √(m_{p} / 2K )

so we plug in our values;

n = ((4×1.0 mA)/(π(1.602×10⁻¹⁹C)(2mm)²) × √(1.673×10⁻²⁷kg / 2×( 20 MeV)(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J/ev )

n =  1.98695 × 10¹⁸ × 1.6157967  × 10⁻⁵

n = 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³  

Therefore, the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³
