A projectile is launched at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 36.6 at an unknown height.

alex41 [277]

The magnitude of the unknown height of the projectile is determined as 16.1 m.

<h3>Magnitude of the height</h3>

The magnitude of the height of the projectile is calculated as follows;

H = u²sin²θ/2g

H = (36.6² x (sin 29)²)/(2 x 9.8)

H = 16.1 m

Thus, the magnitude of the unknown height of the projectile is determined as 16.1 m.

A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p

saul85 [17]

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, $x$ , of an SHM is given by

$x = A\cos(\omega t)$

A is the amplitude and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radian.

From trigonometry, $\sin A =\cos B$ if A and B are complementary.

At $t = 0$ , $x = 3.5$

$3.5 = A\cos(\omega \times0)$

$A =3.5$

$x = 3.5\cos(\omega t)$

At $t = 0.12$ , $x = 1.5$

$1.5 = 3.5\cos(0.12\omega)$

$\cos(0.12\omega)=\dfrac{1.5}{3.5}=0.4286$

$0.12\omega =\cos^{-1}0.4286$

$0.12\omega = 1.13$

$\omega = 9.4$

The period, $T$ , is related to $\omega$ by

$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{2\times3.14}{9.4}=0.67$

A spinning coil of wire is what moves the cone in a speaker, producing the sound. True/False

Georgia [21]

False, the spinning coil of wire that moves the cone in a speaker does not produces sound.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The wire coil is an electromagnet that is fixed to speaker cone. A normal magnet attached to the back of the speaker cone.When audio is sent in the form of short bursts of electric current to the speaker cone through the wire.

A magnetic field is induced when electric current allowed to pass through the coil. This magnetic field is repelled by the other magnet. This repulsion cause the cone to move forward. In the absence of electric current in the coil, the cone moves backward.

Thus sound waves are produced due to the resulting rarefaction and compression. So it is not the spinning coil of wire but he permanent magnet that produces the sound.

An automatic dryer spins wet clothes at an angular speed of 5.2 rad/s. Starting from rest, the dryer reaches its operating speed

Dvinal [7]

<h2>Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 rad/s

Final velocity, v = 5.2 rad/s

Time, t = ?

Acceleration, a = 3.2 rad/s²

Substituting

v = u + at

5.2 = 0 + 3.2 x t

t = 1.625 s

Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.
