hmax = 5740.48 m. The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.

This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.

V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°

So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:

V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s

V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s

When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:

Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0

tₐ = V₀y/g

tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s

Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:

h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²

hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²

hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m

hmax = 5740.48m

A 100-kg tackler moving at a speed of 2.6 m/s meets head-on (and holds on to) an 92-kg halfback moving at a speed of 5.0 m/s. Pa

DIA [1.3K]

Given that,

Mass of trackler, m₁ = 100 kg

Speed of trackler, u₁ = 2.6 m/s

Mass of halfback, m₂ = 92 kg

Speed of halfback, u₂ = -5 m/s (direction is opposite)

To find,

Mutual speed immediately after the collision.

Solution,

The momentum of the system remains conserved in this case. Let v is the mutual speed after the collision. Using conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{100\times 2.6+92\times (-5)}{(100+92)}\\\\V=-1.04\ m/s$

So, the mutual speed immediately after the collision is 1.04 m/s but in opposite direction.

Which of the following represents energy in its most disordered form? Group of answer choices Chemical-bond energy Electromagnet

gavmur [86]

Answer: Heat Energy

Explanation:

Heat is energy in its most disordered form. heat energy is the random jostling of molecules and is therefore not organized. As cells perform the chemical reactions that generate order within, some energy is inevitably lost in the form of heat. Because the cell is not an isolated system, the heat energy produced by the cell is quickly dispersed into the cell's surroundings where it increases the intensity of the thermal motions of nearby molecules. This increases the entropy of the cell's environment and keeps the cell from violating the second law of thermodynamics.

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C) = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6 Ans

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, $\rho=2300\ \Omega-m$

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, $V=1\times 10^3\ V$

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

$R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}$

$R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}$

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

$I=\dfrac{V}{R}$

$I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}$

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.
