1) x= v_{0x} t = 23.4 t\\y=y_0 + v_{0y}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = 12+21.8t -4.9t^2

The initial data of the projectile are:

y_0 = 12 m is the initial height

v_0 = 32 m/s is the initial speed of the projectile, so its components along the x- and y- directions are

v_{0x} = v_0 cos \theta = (32 m/s)(cos 43^{\circ})=23.4 m/s\\v_{0y} = v_0 sin \theta = (32 m/s)(sin 43^{\circ})=21.8 m/s

The motion of the cannonball along the x-direction is a uniform motion with constant speed, while on the y-direction it is an uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 downward. So, the two equations of motion of the projectile along the two directions are:

x= v_{0x} t = 23.4 t\\y=y_0 + v_{0y}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 = 12+21.8t -4.9t^2

2) 4.94 s

To determine how long the cannon ball was in the air, we need to find the time t at which the cannonball hits the ground, so the time t at which y(t)=0:

0=12+21.8t-4.9 t^2

Solving the equation with the formula, we have:

t_{1,2}=\frac{-21.8\pm \sqrt{(21.8)^2-4(-4.9)(12)}}{2(-4.9)}

which has two solutions:

t = -0.50 s

t = 4.94 s

Discarding the first solution which is a negative time so it has no physical meaning, the correct solution is

t = 4.94 s

3) 115.6 m

To determine how far the cannonball travelled, we need to find the value of the horizontal position x(t) when the ball hits the ground, at t=4.94 s. Substituting this value into the equation of motion along x, we find:

x=v_{0x}t=(23.4 m/s)(4.94 s)=115.6 m

4) 2.22 s

The cannonball reaches its maximum height when the vertical velocity becaomes zero.

The vertical velocity at time t is given by

v_y(t)= v_{0y} -gt

where

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

Substutiting v_y(t)=0 and solving for t, we find

t=\frac{v_{0y}}{g}=\frac{21.8 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2}=2.22 s

5) 36.2 m

The maximum height reached by the cannon is equal to the vertical postion y(t) when the vertical velocity is zero, so when t=2.22 s. Substituting this value into the equation of the vertical motion, we find:

y(t)=y_0 + v_{0y}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=12+(21.8)(2.22)-(4.9)(2.22)^2=36.2 m

Leviafan [203]

Part a

Answer: 3.64\times10^{16}

For the arrangement considered in part a, all the atoms are aligned side by side along the side of the square surface.

Along one side of the square, the number of atoms that could fit =\frac {length\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}side}{diameter\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}atom}=\frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.95\times10^{-10}m}=1.91\times10^8 atoms

This is along one side. On the entire surface:

Number of atoms = (1.91\times10^8 )^2=3.64\times10^{16} atoms

Part b

Answer: 4.23\times10^{16}

consider the attached figure below:

The next layer of atoms are filled in the depressions of the first layer. The vertical distance between the two atoms would change. Consider an equilateral triangle drawn by joining the centers of the three atoms.

The atoms along the horizontal side would be aligned side by side; same as above =1.91\times10^8 atoms

The number of atoms along vertical side would vary. vertical distance between two atoms can be calculate using equilateral triangle as shown below.

an equilateral triangle has all the angles = 60^o

Let the vertical distance be y.

Then, y = 2r sin60^o

where r is the radius of each atom. 2r= 4.95\times10^{-10} m

y=4.95\times10^{-10} m\times sin60^o=4.28\times10^{-10} m

The number of atoms along the vertical side = \frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.28\times10^{-10}m}=2.21\times10^8 atoms

Total number of atoms in this kind of arrangement = 1.91\times10^8\times2.21\times10^8=4.23\times10^{16} atoms
