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

Arrange the distances between Earth and various celestial objects in order from least to greatest. Use the conversion table to h
Kaylis [27]

distance to the star Betelgeuse: 640 ly

As we know that

1 ly = 63000 AU

also we know that

1AU = 1.5 \times 10^8 km

1 ly = 63000 (1.5 \times 10^8) = 9.45 \times 10^{12} km

So the distance of Betelgeuse = 640 ly

d_1 = 640 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} = 6.05 \times 10^{15} m

distance to the star VY Canis Majoris: 3.09 × 10^8 AU

d_2 = 3.09\times 10^8 \times 1.5 \times 10^8 km

d_2 = 4.64 \times 10^{16} km

distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud: 49976 pc

1 pc = 3.262 ly = 3.262 \times 9.45 \times 10^{12} km

1pc = 3.08 \times 10^{13} km

now we have

d_3 = 49976 \times 3.08 \times 10^{13}

d_3 = 1.54 \times 10^{18} km

distance to Neptune at the farthest: 4.7 billion km

d_4 = 4.7 \times 10^9 km

now the order of distance from least to greatest is as following

1. distance to Neptune at the farthest

2. distance of Betelgeuse

3. distance to the star VY Canis Majoris

4. distance to the galaxy Large Magellanic Cloud

Evaluate ( 64800 ms ) 2 to three significant figures and express the answer in Si units. Express your answer using three signifi
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second

\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2

4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 410-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 32oC to 232oC? The speci
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ

24) a plane takes off at 7:00 pm and lands at 1:00 am after travelling a distance of 4818km. what is the minimum number of times
12345 [234]

Answer:

Twice

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Time between 7:00 PM and 1:00 AM: 6 hours

Distance: 4818km

Since the distance is 4818km, and the time is 6 hours, you divide 4818 by 6.

803.0000015999 km/h.

The average speed is 803 km/h

Which considering the ideal case scenario if the plane starts at 0 reaches the speed of 803 and the end reduces its speed from 803 to 0. This means we have come across the value of 800 at least twice. Hence, the plane was travelling at a speed of 800 km/h at least 2 times.
