Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with

aspeed of 16.0 \rm {m/s}; the other is thrown in adirection 30.0^\circ below the horizontal with thesame speed.
Part A
Which stone spends more time in the air?(Neglect air resistance.)
The stone thrown upward
Part B
Which stone lands farther away from the building? (Neglect air resistance.)
They would land in the same spot correct? just at different times...?

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

<u>Part A)</u>

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

  • y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
  • y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
  • v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
  • θ1 is the first angle, 30°
  • θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}              

0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}

0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2} (1)  

For the second stone  

0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}    

0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2} (2)            

 

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}  

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

<u>Part B)</u>

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

<u>First stone</u>

x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}

x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}

<u>Second stone</u>

x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}

x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

If two balls have the same volume,
Lena [83]

Here, we are required to find the relationship between balls of different mass(a measure of weight) and different volumes.

  • 1. Ball A will have the greater density
  • 2. Ball C and Ball D have the same density.
  • 3. Ball Q will have the greater density.
  • 4. Ball X and Y will have the same density

The density of an object is given as its mass per unit volume of the object.

Mathematically;.

  • Density = Mass/Volume.

For Case 1:

  • Va = Vb and Ma = 2Mb
  • D(b) = (Mb)/(Vb) and D(a) = 2(Mb)/Vb
  • Therefore, the density of ball A,
  • D(a) = 2D(b).
  • Therefore, ball A has the greater density.

For Case 2:

  • Vc = 3Vd,

  • Vd = (1/3)Vc

  • Md = (1/3)Mc

  • D(c) = (Mc)/(Vc) and D(d) = (1/3)Md/(1/3)Vd

  • D(c) = D(d).

  • Therefore, ball C and D have the same density

For Case 3:

  • Vp = 2Vq and Mp = Mq
  • D(p) = (Mq)/2(Vq) and D(q) = (Mq)/Vq
  • Therefore, the density of ball P is half the density of ball Q
  • Therefore, ball Q has the greater density.

For case 4:

  • Mx = (1/2)My
  • Vx = Vy

Therefore, Ball X and Ball Y have the same density.

Arisa [49]

Explanation:

Hope this helps,

Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5th 2016 UTC, to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. After completing its mission, Juno will be intentionally deorbited into Jupiters atmosphere. Junos mission is to measure Jupiters composition, gravitational field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere.

A 5 newton force and a 7 newton force act concurrently on a point. As the angle between the forces is increased from 0 to 180 th
Reika [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the resultant decreases from A+B to A-B

Explanation:

The magnitude of the resultant of two vectors is given by

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2 +2AB cos \theta}

where

A is the magnitude of the first vector

B is the magnitude of the second vector

\theta is the angle between the directions of the two vectors

In the formula, A and B are constant, so the behaviour depends only on the function cos \theta. The value of cos \theta are:

- 1 (maximum) when the angle is 0, so the magnitude of the resultant in this case is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+2AB}=\sqrt{(A+B)^2}=A+B

- then it decreases, until it becomes 0 when the angle is 90 degrees, where the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2+0}=\sqrt{A^2+B^2}

- then it becomes negative, and continues to decrease, until it reaches a value of -1 when the angle is 180 degrees, and the magnitude of the resultant is

R=\sqrt{A^2 +B^2-2AB}=\sqrt{(A-B)^2}=A-B
