Jimmy is standing 300 feet away from a rocket that is being shot up into the air away from him at an angle of elevation of 70 de
grees. Jimmy’s line of sight to the rocket has an angle of elevation of 35 degrees. If he is standing 300 feet from the rocket what is the vertical height of the rocket?

Answer:
the block reaches higher than the sphere
\frac{y_{sphere}} {y_block} = 5/7
Explanation:
We are going to solve this interesting problem
A) in this case a sphere rolls on the ramp, let's find the speed of the center of mass at the exit of the ramp
Let's use the concept of conservation of energy
starting point. At the top of the ramp
Em₀ = U = m g y₁
final point. At the exit of the ramp
Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂
notice that we include the translational and rotational energy, we assume that the height of the exit ramp is y₂
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
m g y₁ = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g y₂
angular and linear velocity are related
v = w r
the moment of inertia of a sphere is
I = m r²
we substitute
m g (y₁ - y₂) = ½ m v² + ½ ( m r²) (
)²
m g h = ½ m v² (1 + )
where h is the difference in height between the two sides of the ramp
h = y₂ -y₁
mg h = (
m v²)
v = √5/7 √2gh
This is the exit velocity of the vertical movement of the sphere
v_sphere = 0.845 √2gh
B) is the same case, but for a box without friction
starting point
Em₀ = U = mg y₁
final point
Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + m g y₂
Em₀ = Em_f
mg y₁ = ½ m v² + m g y₂
m g (y₁ -y₂) = ½ m v²
v = √2gh
this is the speed of the box
v_box = √2gh
to know which body reaches higher in the air we can use the kinematic relations
v² = v₀² - 2 g y
at the highest point v = 0
y = vo₀²/ 2g
for the sphere
y_sphere = 5/7 2gh / 2g
y_esfera = 5/7 h
for the block
y_block = 2gh / 2g
y_block = h
therefore the block reaches higher than the sphere
Answer:
the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.
We know that from Newton's Second Law;
Force = mass × Acceleration
F = ma
Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.
Now,
Mass × Acceleration
= Mass
× Acceleration
so
Mass / Mass
= Acceleration
/ Acceleration
given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,
Mass / Mass
= 1 / 1.26
Mass / Mass
= 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]
Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]
Answer:
Option C
100 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy, KE is given by
where m is the mass and v is the velocity
Substituting 50 Kg for mass, m and 2 m/s for velocity v then we obtain
Therefore, the child's kinetic energy is equivalent to 100 J
