A projectile is launched from ground level with an initial speed of 47 m/s at an angle of 0.6 radians above the horizontal. It s

trikes a target 1.7 seconds later. What is the vertical distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hit the target.

Answer:

30.67m

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion as follows, we can describe the path of the projectile in its horizontal or vertical displacement;

s = ut ± \frac{1}{2} at^2               ------------(i)

Where;

s = horizontal/vertical displacement

u = initial horizontal/vertical component of the velocity

a = acceleration of the projectile

t = time taken for the projectile to reach a certain horizontal or vertical position.

Since the question requires that we find the vertical distance from where the projectile was launched to where it hit the target, equation (i) can be made more specific as follows;

h = vt ± \frac{1}{2} at^2               ------------(ii)

Where;

h = vertical displacement

v = initial vertical component of the velocity = usinθ

a = acceleration due to gravity (since vertical motion is considered)

t = time taken for the projectile to hit the target

<em>From the question;</em>

u = 47m/s, θ = 0.6rads

=> usinθ = 47 sin 0.6

=> usinθ = 47 x 0.5646 = 26.54m/s

t = 1.7s

Take a = -g = -10.0m/s   (since motion is upwards against gravity)

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

h = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 26.54(1.7) - \frac{1}{2} (10)(1.7)^2

h = 45.118 - 14.45

h = 30.67m

Therefore, the vertical distance is 30.67m

To test the performance of its tires, a car
velikii [3]

<u>Answer</u>:

The coefficient of  static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Radius of the track, r =  516 m

Tangential Acceleration a_r=  3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v =  32.8 m/s

<u>To Find:</u>

The coefficient of  static friction between the tires and the road = ?

<u>Solution</u>:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}

a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}

a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}

a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2

Now the total acceleration is

\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2

=>= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}

=>\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}

=>\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}

=>19.4791 m/s^2

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of  static friction is

\mu =\frac{f}{W}

From (1) and (2)

\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}

\mu =\frac{a}{g}

Substituting the values, we get

\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}

\mu =1.987

The formula is x = 1/2 at^2 and I have managed to fill in the variables as this. d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 1^2
Artyom0805 [142]

Right, as you mentioned in the comments, you find d by plugging in the different values of t.

For t=1\,\mathrm s, we have

d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1\,\mathrm s)^2

d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(1\,\mathrm s^2\right)

d=4.905\,\mathrm m

Similarly, for t=2\,\mathrm s, you get

d=\dfrac12\left(9.81\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(2\,\mathrm s\right)

d=\left(4.905\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\left(4\,\mathrm s^2\right)

d=19.62\,\mathrm m

Four distinguishable particles move freely in a room divided into octants (there are no actual partitions). Let the basic states
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916
