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

True [87]

To solve this problem, we know that:

1 Albert = 88 meters

1 A = 88 m

The first thing we have to do is to square both sides of the equation:

(1 A)^2 = (88 m)^2

1 A^2 = 7,744 m^2

<span>Since it is given that 1 acre = 4,050 m^2, so to reach that value, 1st let us divide both sides by 7,744:</span>

1 A^2 / 7,744 = 7,744 m^2 / 7,744

(1 / 7,744) A^2 = 1 m^2

Then we multiply both sides by 4,050.

(4050 / 7744) A^2 = 4050 m^2

0.523 A^2 = 4050 m^2

<span>Therefore 1 acre is equivalent to about 0.52 square alberts.</span>

Assuming that Albertine's mass is 60.0 kg , for what value of μk, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

\mu_k=0.101

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Albertine, m = 60 kg

It can be assumed, the spring constant of the spring, k = 95 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 5 m

A glass sits 19.8 m from her outstretched foot, h = 19.8 m

When she just reach the glass without knocking it over, a force of friction will also act on it. Using the conservation of energy for the spring mass system such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\mu_k mgh

\mu_k=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mgh}

\mu_k=\dfrac{95\times (5)^2}{2\times 60\times 9.8\times 19.8}

\mu_k=0.101

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the waxed floor is 0.101. Hence, this is the required solution.
