A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

Students will consider the following items: ice, glass, copper, and aluminium. what happens to each item when hammered? what pro
vladimir2022 [97]

All metals except potassium and sodium, have a property known as malleability. Malleability is the quality of something that can be shaped into something else without breaking. So when aluminium and copper are hammered they will not break. Rather they will change shape and become thin or flat at the area where its hammered.

All Non- metals except diamond are brittle in nature, so when we hammer it , they will break down into pieces. So when ice and glass will be hammered they will shatter into pieces.

What combination of variables will make an experiment the most reliable
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A combination of two controlled variables will make an experiment the most reliable.

Variables are the values that we take under any circumstance while doing an experiment so that we can keep on changing  and get new results at the end.

It is important to have them in pair so that two values can be kept on changing in terms of any constant condition. This will help to get better results in over all experiment data.

A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

T - mg cos40 = F_c

T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}

T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}

T = 3 + 5.55

T = 8.55 N
