A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(

t)=−16t2+64t+960. Answer the following questions, including units in each answer. At what time does it reach its maximum height? Hint: Its velocity is zero at its maximum height. How high will it go? What is its velocity at the instant it reaches the ground?

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

Answer:

(a) The total energy of the object at any point in its motion is 0.0416 J

(b) The amplitude of the motion is 0.0167 m

(c) The maximum speed attained by the object during its motion is 0.577 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the toy, m = 0.25 kg

force constant of the spring, k = 300 N/m

displacement of the toy, x = 0.012 m

speed of the toy, v = 0.4 m/s

(a) The total energy of the object at any point in its motion

E = ¹/₂mv² + ¹/₂kx²

E = ¹/₂ (0.25)(0.4)² + ¹/₂ (300)(0.012)²

E = 0.0416 J

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂KA²

A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{K} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2*0.0416}{300} } \\\\A = 0.0167 \ m

(c) the maximum speed attained by the object during its motion

E = \frac{1}{2} mv_{max}^2\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} } \\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{2*0.0416}{0.25} } \\\\v_{max} = 0.577 \ m/s

How does the table show that the balloon went downwards ?
o-na [289]

Answer:

I am going to guess it shows that the balloon is going downwards because the speed of rise is in the negatives for the last 2.

At what distance of separation, r, must two 3.20 x 10-9 Coulomb charges be positioned in order for the repulsive force between t
STatiana [176]
I'm not 100% sure but I think the answer is 60.4, because you multiply 3.20 by 10, to get 32 - 9 = 23, then subtract 23 from 83.4. Hope this helps you, and good luck!!!

Why are the poles and slightly lower latitudes so cold in the summertime when they receive almost 24 hours of daylight? I know t
castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

  • So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.
  • When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.
