You serve a tennis ball from a height of 1.80 m above the ground. The ball leaves your racket with a velocity of 18.0 m/s at an

angle of 7.00o above the horizontal. The horizontal distance from your position to the net is 11.83 m and the net is 1.07 m high. Neglecting any effects due to the air, determine the following. Does the ball clear the net?

Answer:

Yes, ball will clear the net

Explanation:

First we have to find the range of projectile motion.

Data given,

Ф = 7°

Initial velocity = 18 m/s

R = (V)^2.sin2Ф/g

Now by putting values

R = 7.99 m

Now for height

h = v^2.(sinФ)^2/2g

by putting values

h = 0.245 m

Since range is less than our distance (11.83 m) from net, so still it is not clear that ball will clear the net or not.

So, now from the maximum height, we have to calculate the horizontal distance of ball to net.

Now velocity in projectile motion is in two dimensions.

V(x) = 18 m/s

V(y) = 0 m/s (because at maximum height, ball will stop and then start again, so y-component of velocity will be 0 but since there will be no acceleration along x-axis, so V(x) will be 18 m/s)

Now, by formula S = V(y)t + (1/2)gt^2

we can calculate time which is required by the ball to reach net from the maximum height it has achieved.

Now, tricky part is to calculate S, because without it we can not calculate t.

So, by data given in question, we know that the ball is served at height of 1.8 m and it achieved the height of 0.245 m. But net is at height of 1.07 m.

So, the vertical distance downward, which ball will travel from maximum height to net will be

S = 1.8 + 0.245 - 1.07

S = 0.975 m

Since we know V(y) = 0 m/s

S = (1/2)gt^2

t = (2S/g)^(1/2)

t = 0.44 s

Now time for both vertical and horizontal distance are same,

So, for horizontal distance "D(x)"

D(x) = V(x) x t (Since, no acceleration along x axis, so we can use simple formula to calculate distance)

D(x) = 18 x 0.44

D(x) = 8.029 m

Now please notice that at maximum height, range was half, so at that point ball covered distance "a"

a = 3.99 m

From maximum height to net, as we calculated, ball covered

D(x) = 8.029 m

So, total distance covered by ball

a + D(x) = 3.99 + 8.029

a + D(x) = 12.024 m

which is more than your total distance from net which is 11.83 m. So, the ball will clear the net.

Assuming a vertical trajectory with no drag, derive the applicable form of the rocket equation for this application
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The vertical trajectory is governed by Ordinary Differential Equation.

Time derivatives of each state variables.

d(d)/dt = v, d(m)/dt = -d(m-fuel)/dt, d(v)/dt = F/m.

Where V is velocity positive upwards, t is time, m is mass, m-fuel is fuel mass, F is Total force, positive upwards.

Therefore,

F = -mg - D + T, If V is positive and

F = -mg + D - T, If T is negative.

D is drag and the questions gave it as zero.

Explanation:

The two sign cases in derivative equations above are required because F is defined positive up, so the drag D and thrust T can subtract or add to F depending in the sign of V . In contrast, the gravity force contribution mg is always negative. In general, F will be some function of time, and may also depend on the characteristics of the particular rocket. For example, the T component of F will become zero after all the fuel is expended, after which point the rocket will be ballistic, with only the gravity force and the aerodynamic drag force being p

A plucked violin string carries a traveling wave given by the equation f(x,t)=asin[b(x−ct)+ϕi], with a = 0.00580 m , b = 33.05 m
Viktor [21]

Answer:

A) Φ = 0 , B)  T = 7.76 s

Explanation:

A) to find the value of the phase constant replace the value

          0 = a sin (b (0- 0) + Φ)

           0 = sin Φ

           Φ = sin⁻¹ 0

           Φ = 0

B) the period is defined by time or when the movement begins to repeat itself

So that the sine function is repeated when the angle passes 2pi

            b (x- ct) = 2pi

If we are at a fixed point x = 0

           b c t = 2pi

            t = 2π / bc

Let's calculate

            T = 2π / (33.05 245)

            T = 7.76 s

A motor uses motion in a magnetic field to produce an electric current. true or false
irinina [24]

Well, that's a nice, concise description, but it applies to a
generator, not a motor.  A motor does exactly the opposite.
It uses an electric current to produce motion in a magnetic field.

Sadly, the statement is false.
