Answer:

The answer to your question is:      Ep = 14715 Joules

Explanation:

Data

mass = 50 kg

Potential energy = ?

height = 30 m

g = 9.81 m/s²

Equation

                Ep = mgh

Substitution

                     Ep = (50)(9.81)(30)

                     Ep = 14715 Joules

the maximum range of a projectile is 2÷√3 times its actual range what is the angle of the projection for the actual range​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The actual angle is 30°

Explanation:

<h2>Equation of projectile:</h2><h2>y axis:</h2>

v_y(t)=vo*sin(A)-g*t

the velocity is Zero when the projectile reach in the maximum altitude:

0=vo-gt\\t=\frac{vo}{g}

When the time is vo/g the projectile are in the middle of the range.

<h2>x axis:</h2>

d_x(t)=vo*cos(A)*t\\

R=Range

R=d_x(t=2*\frac{vo}{g})

R=vo*cos(A)*2\frac{vo}{g} \\\\R=\frac{(vo)^{2}*2* sin(A)cos(A)}{g} \\\\R=\frac{(vo)^{2} sin(2A)}{g}

**sin(2A)=2sin(A)cos(A)

<h2>The maximum range occurs when A=45°(because sin(90°)=1)</h2><h2>The actual range R'=(2/√3)R:</h2>

Let B the actual angle of projectile

\frac{vo^{2} }{g} =(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }) \frac{vo^{2} *sin(2B)}{g}\\\\1= \frac{2 }{\sqrt{3}} *sin(2B)\\\\sin(2B)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\

2B=60°

B=30°

Why is it so good for scientists to be skeptical
IceJOKER [234]
Its good for a scientist to be skeptical because they dont willingly accept new ideas without thoroughly going over the research themselves and attempting to disprove a theory. skeptical scientists often reveal new information through doing their own examinations of a concept, which is why they are valuable scientists

ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo
madam [21]

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector
