Answer:

The correct option is;(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

Here, we have for maximum horizontal distance

h = v×t

Where t is the time of flight

The time of flight is given by

s = v·t - 0.5 × gt² to maximize the time of flight, we therefore increase the height such that

Since the range is given by

Horizontal range, x = v·t·cosα

Vertical range, y  = v·t·sinα - 0.5·g·t²

When the particle comes back to initial level, we have

0 = v·t·sinα - 0.5·g·t² → 0 = t(v·sinα - 0.5·g·t)

So that t = 0 or t = \frac{2\cdot v\cdot sin\alpha }{g}

Therefore, horizontal range =

\frac{v^{2} \cdot 2\cdot  cos\alpha \cdot sin\alpha }{g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\alpha) }{g}

Therefore maximum range is obtained when α = 45° as sin 90° = 1

Answer:

(C) greater than zero but less than 45° above the horizontal

Explanation:

The range of a projectile is given by R = v²sin2θ/g.

For maximum range, sin2θ = 1 ⇒ 2θ = sin⁻¹(1) = 90°

2θ = 90°

θ = 90°/2 = 45°

So the maximum horizontal distance R is in the range 0 < θ < 45°, if θ is the angle above the horizontal.

A particle of mass 4.00 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant of 100 N/m. It is oscillating on a frictionless, horizo
zloy xaker [14]

Solution :

Given :

Mass attached to the spring = 4 kg

Mass dropped = 6 kg

Force constant = 100 N/m

Initial amplitude = 2 m

Therefore,

a). $v_{initial} = A w$

          $= 2 \times \sqrt{\frac{100}{4}}$

          = 10 m/s

Final velocity, v at equilibrium position, v = 5 m/s

Now, $\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 = \frac{1}{2} kA'$

A' = amplitude = 1.4142 m

b). $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

    m' = 2m

    Hence, $T'=\sqrt2 T$

c). $\frac{\frac{1}{2}(4+4)5^2 + \frac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 10^2}{\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^2}$

  $=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, factor $=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the energy will change half times as the result of the collision.

An 75-kg hiker climbs to the summit of Mount Mitchell in western North Carolina. During one 2.0-h period, the climber's vertical
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy of the climber-Earth system is  \Delta  PE  = 396900 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the hiker is  m = 75 \ kg

    The time  taken is  T  =  2 \ hr =  2 *  3600 =  7200 \ s

    The  vertical elevation after time  T is  H = 540 \ m

   

The  change  in gravitational potential is  mathematically represented as

         \Delta  PE  =  mgH

here g is the acceleration due to gravity with value  g =  9.8 \ m/s^2  

     substituting values  

        \Delta  PE  =  75  *  9.8  *  540

       \Delta  PE  = 396900 \ J

How do we determine the conditions that existed in the very early universe? A We can only guess at the conditions, since we have
lakkis [162]

Answer:

D By looking all the way to the cosmological horizon, we can see the actual conditions that prevailed all the way back to the first instant of the Big Bang.

Explanation:

Astrophysicists are able to determine the conditions that existed in the early universe, by using instruments such as telescopes to observe and study cosmic horizons. More ideas about the early universe can be found from the thermal light present in cosmic backgrounds.

Scientists study these details that provide an insight into the conditions that existed so many years ago. They have been able to determine that the Big Bang involved so many collisions from these observations.
