The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22

alexgriva [62]

1) The law of motion of the projectile is
$h(t) = 2+22.5 t-4.9 t^2$
To find the velocity, we should compute the derivative of h(t):
$v(t)=h'(t)=22.5-2\cdot 4.9t=22.5-9.8t$
So now we can calculate the speed at t=2 s and t=4 s:
$v(2.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot2.0 =2.9 m/s$
$v(4.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.0s=-16.7 m/s$
The negative sign in the second speed means the projectile has already reached its maximum height and it is now going downward.

2) The projectile reaches its maximum height when the speed is equal to zero:
$v(t)=0$
So we have
$22.5-9.8 t=0$
And solving this we find
$t=2.30 s$

3) To find the maximum height, we take h(t) and we just replace t with the time at which the projectile reaches the maximum height, i.e. t=2.30 s:
$h(2.30 s)=2+22.5\cdot 2.30 -4.9 \cdot (2.30s)^2 = 27.83 m$

4) The time at which the projectile hits the ground is the time at which the height is zero: h(t)=0. So, this translates into
$2+22.5t -4.9 t^2 = 0$
This is a second-order equation, and if we solve it we get two solutions: the first solution is negative, so we can ignore it since it's physically meaningless; the second solution is
$t=4.68 s$
And this is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

5) The velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground is the velocity at time t=4.68 s:
$v(4.68 s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.68 =-23.36 m/s$
with negative sign, because it is directed downward.

Question 8 of 10

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is the Convex lens. An image is formed when a ray of light coming from a point intersects at another point. The image is formed by the real intersection of light. The image is formed by the virtual intersection of Light.

A jet is circling an airport control tower at a distance of 20.6 km. An observer in the tower watches the jet cross in front of

lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = $20.6\times 10^3\ m$

$\theta$ = The angle subtended by moon = $9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad$

Distance traveled is given by

$s=r\times\theta$

$\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}$

$\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m$

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get

Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

$mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O$

where,

m=Total mass

$m_O =$ Mass of Object

$V_i =$ Velocity before throwing

$V_f =$ Final Velocity

$V_O =$ Velocity of Object

Our values are:

$m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg$

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

$V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) $5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s$

$V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}$

$V_{f1}=0.8511m/s$

B) $7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s$

$V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}$

$V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s$

C) $10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s$

$V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}$

$V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s$

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s
