Answer:

hmax= 28.2 m

Explanation:

Horizontal movement:

  • For the horizontal movement, as once released, nothing exerts any influence on the ball in the horizontal direction, it will keep moving at a constant speed, so, the equation for the horizontal displacement is as follows:

        x = v₀*t = 56.1523 m

Vertical movement:

  • For the vertical movement, once thrown upward, the ball is under the sole influence of gravity, g, which causes the ball to accelerate downward, and which magnitude is 9.8 m/s².
  • At any time, applying the definition of acceleration, we can find the value of the velocity, as follows:

        vf = vo-g*t

  • When the ball reaches to the maximum height, the ball will come momentarily at rest, so vf =0.
  • At this point, we can find the time at which  the ball reached to its highest point, as follows:

        t = \frac{vo}{g}

  • In the same way, we can find the maximum height reached by the ball, just replacing this value of time in the equation for the displacement, in the vertical direction, as follows:

        h = vo*t -\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}

        hmax = vo*(\frac{vo}{g}) -\frac{1}{2} *g*(\frac{vo}{g} )^{2} =\frac{vo^{2}}{2*g}

  • Now, returning to the horizontal movement, as the time must be the same for both movements, we can replace the value for time we have just found, in the equation for the horizontal displacement:

       x = v0x * t = v0x* \frac{voy}{g}

  • But as we know that vox = voy, we can rewrite the equation above as follows:

       x = v0* t = v0* \frac{vo}{g} =\frac{vo^{2} }{g} = 56.1523 m

  • We can solve for v₀, as follows:

        vo = \sqrt{56.1523 m *9.8 m/s2} =23.5 m/s

  • Now, we can replace this value in the expression for hmax, as follows:
  • hmax = \frac{vo^{2}}{2*g} =\frac{(23.5m/s)^{2}}{2*9.8 m/s2} =  28.2 m

You are designing a 108 cm3 right circular cylindrical can whose manufacture will take waste into account. There is no waste in
FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The volume of a right circular cylindrical, V=108\ cm^3

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :

V=\pi r^2 h

108=\pi r^2 h    

h=\dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}............(1)

The upper area is given by :

A=32r^2+2\pi rh

A=32r^2+2\pi r\times \dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}

A=32r^2+\dfrac{216}{r}

For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :

\dfrac{dA}{dr}=64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}

64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}=0

r^3=\dfrac{216}{64}

r = 1.83 m

Dividing equation (1) with r such that,

\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi r}

\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi 1.83}

\dfrac{h}{r}=59 \pi

Hence, this is the required solution.

Should the shape of an object be considered a property of the material?

No
For example a rock was broken into one big and one little piece. The properties of these 2 pieces are still the same even though they have different shapes.

The momentum of a 0.1 kg object traveling at 2000 m/s is 20,000 kg·m/s. True or False
Alina [70]

That's false.  

The definition of momentum is (mass) x (speed), so they must be multiplied.

"20,000 kg-m/s" has the correct units resulting from multiplication, but the number could only be the result of division.
