A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0o above the horizontal towar

d the cliff. (a) What must the minimum muzzle velocity be for the shell to clear the top of the cliff? (b) The ground at the top of the cliff is level, with a constant elevation of 25.0 m above the cannon. Under the conditions of part (a), how far does the shell land past the edge of the cliff?

Answer:

a)   v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b)  x = 59.68 m

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

We look for the components of speed with trigonometry

         sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43

Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second

         t = x / v₀ cos 43

         y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²

          y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43

          1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²

           v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]

Let's calculate

          v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]

          v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)

          v₀ = 32.64 m / s

.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

         .y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²

        25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²

        4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0

         t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

         t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2

         t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2

         t₁ = 2.50 s

         t₂ = 2.04 s

The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos 43 t

         x = 32.64 cos 43  2.50

         x = 59.68 m

erastova [34]

The choices are:

a. Normal Force

b. Gravity Force

c. Applied Force

d. Friction Force

e. Tension Force

​f. Air Resistance Force

Answer:

The answer is letter e, Tension Force.

Explanation:

Force refers to the "push" and "pull" of an object, provided that the object has mass. This results to acceleration or a change in velocity. There are many types of forces such as <em>Normal Force, Gravity Force, Applied Force, Friction Force, Tension Force and Air Resistance Force.</em>

The situation above is an example of a "tension force." This is considered the force that is being applied to an object by strings or ropes. This is a type force that allows the body to be pulled and not pushed, since ropes are not capable of it. In the situation above, the tension force of the rope is acting on the bag and this allows the bag to be pulled.

Thus, this explains the answer.

How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?
lidiya [134]
Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.
