A pendulum of mass 5.0 kg hangs in equilibrium. A frustrated student walks up to it and kicks the bob with a horizontal force of

30.0 ????. The force is applied over 0.3 seconds. How long does the pendulum have to be to have a period of 5.0 seconds? What is the maximum angle of displacement of the swinging pendulum?

Answer:

The length is $L = 6.206m$ and the angle is $\theta = 37.752^o.$

Explanation:

The period $T$ of the pendulum is related to its length $L$ by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g} },$

where $g =9.8m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

Solving for $L$ we get

$L = \dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}$

putting in $T =5.0s$ and $g =9.8m/s^2$ we get:

$L = \dfrac{(5.0s)^2*9.8m/s^2}{4\pi^2}$

$\boxed{L = 6.206m.}$

There are two forces acting on the pendulum: The gravitational force $mg$ and the $F = 30N$ student's force. Therefore, the angular displacement $\theta$ that these forces give is

$sin(\theta ) = \dfrac{F}{mg}$

$\theta = sin^{-1}( \dfrac{F}{mg})$

putting in $F =30N$ , $m =5.0kg$ , and $g =9.8m/s^2$ we get

$\theta = sin^{-1}( \dfrac{30N}{5.0kg*9.8m/s^2})$

$\boxed{\theta = 37.752^o.}$

A projectile is fired over level ground with an initial velocity that has a vertical component of 20 m/s and a horizontal compon

Anettt [7]

First of all, let's write the equation of motions on both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. It's a uniform motion on the x-axis, with constant speed $v_x=30 m/s$ , and an accelerated motion on the y-axis, with initial speed $v_y=20 m/s$ and acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ :
$S_x(t)=v_xt$
$S_y(t)=v_y t- \frac{1}{2} gt^2$
where the negative sign in front of g means the acceleration points towards negative direction of y-axis (downward).

To find the distance from the landing point, we should find first the time at which the projectile hits the ground. This can be found by requiring
$S_y(t)=0$
Therefore:
$v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0$
which has two solutions:
$t=0$ is the time of the beginning of the motion,
$t= \frac{2 v_y}{g} = \frac{2\cdot 20 m/s}{9.81 m/s^2}=4.08 s$ is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

Now, we can find the distance covered on the horizontal axis during this time, and this is the distance from launching to landing point:
$S_x(4.08 s)=v_x t=(30 m/s)(4.08 s)=122.4 m$

Consider the vector field. f(x, y, z) = xy2z2i x2yz2j x2y2zk (a) find the curl of the vector field?

Marat540 [252]

Observe that the given vector field is a gradient field:

Let $f(x,y,z)=\nabla g(x,y,z)$ , so that

$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x} = x y^2 z^2$

$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y} = x^2 y z^2$

$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial z} = x^2 y^2 z$

Integrating the first equation with respect to $x$ , we get

$g(x,y,z) = \dfrac12 x^2 y^2 z^2 + h(y,z)$

Differentiating this with respect to $y$ gives

$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y} = x^2 y z^2 + \dfrac{\partial h}{\partial y} = x^2 y z^2 \\\\ \implies \dfrac{\partial h}{\partial y} = 0 \implies h(y,z) = i(z)$

Now differentiating $g$ with respect to $z$ gives

$\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial z} = x^2 y^2 z + \dfrac{di}{dz} = x^2 y^2 z \\\\ \implies \dfrac{di}{dz} = 0 \implies i(z) = C$

Putting everything together, we find a scalar potential function whose gradient is $f$ ,

$f(x,y,z) = \nabla \left(\dfrac12 x^2 y^2 z^2 + C\right)$

It follows that the curl of $f$ is 0 (i.e. the zero vector).

If Earth was with no tilt, would we still have seasons at all? If so, how would they be different?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

If earth had no tilt, we would have no seasons.

Explanation:

As stated in the answer, if the earth had no tilt we wouldn't have seasons. The earth all around the globe would maintain the same temperature,

And due to the no tilt it would also change our orbit to a bit larger slant, in January when we are at our closest to the sun we WOULD have a mini summer. For the North and South Pole, they would remain cold.

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. At what point in its trajectory does it have t

Elodia [21]

Answer:

It's constant everywhere in its trajectory.

Explanation:

the projectile was launched with an initial velocity, the only acceleration that is affecting the projectile's velocity is gravity.

The acceleration of gravity is practically equal everywhere on earth, so during its trajectory, we have to take into consideration only the acceleration because of gravity.

This is only correct because the projectile was launched with an initial velocity and it's not accelerating from rest and then falls.
