Any object that just fits into your visual field has this angular size. Do all objects that you see this this angular size have

the same linear size (the size you would measure by placing a ruler next to them)? If not, when does an object have a larger linear size than another object even though both have the same angular size?

Answer:

No the angular and linear size will not be same for different objects bearing the same angular size and is dependent on the point of observation. The greater the distance between the observer and the object, the greater the difference between the angular and linear size.

Explanation:

The angular size is the ratio of two lengths namely

Angular \, Size=\frac{Linear Size}{Distance from the object}

Here if the distance from the object is unity, the angular and linear size will be similar. However if the distance of observation is very large, the angular size for large bodies with large linear size will be very small.

An example in this regard is Sun.

The linear size of Sun, (the diameter) is 1.3927 million km. Which is very large. However as it is very far from earth, 147.44 million km, the angular size is very small.

it is given as

Angular \, Size=\frac{1.39}{147.44}=0.009 rad

Now the same angular size can be of a tennis ball having a diameter of 10 cm , placed at around 10.6 m away.

Angular \, Size=\frac{0.1}{10.6}=0.009 rad

An object is thrown from the ground with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. What is the velocity at the point 25 m above the ground?
dsp73

Answer:

It's a pretty simple suvat linear projectile motion question, using the following equation and plugging in your values it's a pretty trivial calculation.

V^2=U^2+2*a*x

V=0 (as it is at max height)

U=30ms^-1 (initial speed)

a=-g /-9.8ms^-2 (as it is moving against gravity)

x is the variable you want to calculate (height)

0=30^2+2*(-9.8)*x

x=-30^2/2*-9.8

x=45.92m

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s
