The drawing shows two frictionless inclines that begin at ground level (h = 0 m) and slope upward at the same angle θ. One track

is longer than the other, however. Identical blocks are projected up each track with the same initial speed v0. On the longer track the block slides upward until it reaches a maximum height H above the ground. On the shorter track the block slides upward, flies off the end of the track at a height H1 above the ground, and then follows the familiar parabolic trajectory of projectile motion. At the highest point of this trajectory, the block is a height H2 above the end of the track. The initial total mechanical energy of each block is the same and is all kinetic energy. The initial speed of each block is v0 = 6.94 m/s, and each incline slopes upward at an angle of θ = 50.0°. The block on the shorter track leaves the track at a height of H1 = 1.25 m above the ground. Find (a) the height H for the block on the longer track and (b) the total height H1 + H2 for the block on the shorter track.

Answer:

a). H=2.45m

b). H_{max}=1.94m

Explanation:

For the block that stays on the track, its maximal height is attained when all of the kinetic energy  is converted to potential energy

a).

The height for the block on the longer track can by find using this equation:

\frac{1}{2}*m*v_o^2=m*g*H

Cancel the mass as a factor in each element in the equation

H=\frac{v_o^2}{2*g}

H=\frac{(6.94m/s)^2}{2*9.8m/s^2}

H=2.45m

b).

The other lost some kinetic energy so, use a projectile motion to determine the total height for the other bock:

E_k=E_p

E_k=m*g*H_1

E_k=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_o^2-\frac{1}{2}*m*v^2

m*g*H_1=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v_o^2-v^2)

Solve to v'

v^2=v_o^2-2*g*H_1

v=\sqrt{v_o^2-2*g*H_1}=\sqrt{(6.94m/s)^2-2*9.8m/s^2*1.25m}

v=4.8m/s

H_{max}=H_1+\frac{v^2*sin(50)}{2*g}=1.25m+\frac{(4.8m/s)^2*sin(50)}{2*9.8m/s^2}

H_{max}=1.94m

Answer:

(a) H = 1.41 m

(b)   H₁ + H₂ = 1.35 m

Explanation:

LONGER  TRACK  

To calculate the height H of the longer track, we use the equation of motion on an inclined plane:

V² = U² -2gH---------------------------------------------- (1)

H = (U²- V²)/ 2g------------------------------------------- (2)

Since the block came to rest at height H, it implies that the final velocity V =0

Vertical component of the Initial velocity U =   6.94Sin 50°

Substituting into (2)

H = (6.94Sin 50°)²/(20)

  = 1.4131

 = 1.41 m

SHORTER TRACK (First Motion)

For the shorter track, the velocity  (Vf)  of the block at the end of the track is calculated as thus:

Initial velocity , V₀=   6.94 m/s

The vertical component of the velocity is 6.94Sin 50°

From the Law of Equation:

V² = U² -2gH---------------------------------------------- (1)

Substituting into (1)

V²  =  (6.94 Sin 50⁰)² – (2 x10 x1.25)

    =  28.2635 – 25

    = 3.2635

 Vf    = √3.2635

        = 1.8065m/s

       =   1.81 m/s

SHORTER TRACK (2nd Motion)

The block flew off at the end of the track in a projectory motion as shown above. This implies that the velocity (Vf) will be tangential to the path of motion and inclined as 50⁰ to the horizontal.

The vertical component of Vf   = 1.8065 Sin 50⁰  

Initial Velocity U = 1.8065 Sin 50⁰  

At the maximum height of trajectory, final velocity, V = 0

To calculate H₂, we deploy the equation of motion in equation (1)

Substituting our new values into (1), we have:

0 = (1.8065 Sin 50⁰)² – (2 x10) x H₂

H₂ = (1.8065 Sin 50⁰)²/ 20

    =   0.09575 m

H₁ + H₂ = 1.25 + 0.09575

             = 1.34575‬

             =  1.35 m

The moon's mass is 7.34x10-kg and it is 3.8x10m away from earth. Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between earth a
Nana76 [90]
Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.

<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F  =  GMm / r^2.      (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).

G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11  Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22  kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
   = 3.8 x 10^8 m.

(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).


So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
  Punch it all up in your calculator.
 
I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.

F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>

A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

T - mg cos40 = F_c

T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}

T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}

T = 3 + 5.55

T = 8.55 N

A proton is moving in a circular orbit of radius 20 cm under a uniform magnetic field 0.3 t perpendicular to the velocity of the
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

v = 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

The radius (r) of the circular orbit taken by a charged particle is related to its speed perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength B, and is given by

r = \frac{mv}{qB}       --------------(i)

Where,

q = charge of the particle

m = mass of the particle

Making v subject of the formula in equation (i) above gives

v = \frac{qBr}{m}  -------------------(ii)

Given;

r = 20cm = 0.2m

B = 0.3T

v = unknown

q = charge of proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

Substitute the values of m, q, B and r into equation (ii) above to get;

v = \frac{1.6 * 10^{-19} * 0.3 * 0.2} {1.67*10^{-27} }

Solving for v gives:

v = 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the proton is 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s
