The net force on the student is A) -294 N

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, there is only one force acting on the student: the force of gravity, which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the student

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 30 kg is the mass of the student

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity, where the negative sign means the direction is downward

Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the student:

$F=(30)(-9.8)=-294 N$

And since this is the only force acting on the student, it is also the net force on him.

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?

Rudik [331]

Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.

A ball of mass 8 kg falls from rest from a height of 100 m. Neglecting air resistance,calculate its kinetic energy after falling

astra-53 [7]

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational energy is converted to kinetic energy

G.P.E = K.E = mgh

K.E = (80 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(30 m)

K.E. = 23,520 J

A student placed a ladder up against a wall as shown below. The normal force applied by the wall in the ladder will be directed:

The normal force is always perpendicular to the surface. So it would be straight to the left of the wall

A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 65.2 m/s at an angle of 34.5º above the horizontal on a long flat firing range. (

Margarita [4]

Answer:

A) $h = 69.58 m$

D) $v = 58.12 \frac{m}{s}$ (Speed magnitude)

α = 22.49° (Speed direction above the horizontal)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis:

To solve this problem we consider the following concepts:

1) The projectile in its movement describes a curved line called a parabola, therefore two coordinates are required to fix the position at each instant of time, since the movement is performed in the X-Y plane.

The initial velocity (Vo) is tangent to the trajectory at the initial point and can be broken down into two components, one vertical (Voy) and one horizontal(Vox):

$V_{ox} = V_{o}Cos\alpha _{o}$ Formula (1)

$V_{oy} = V_{o}Sin\alpha _{o}$ Formula (2)

Where:

Vo: Initial velocity in m/s

$\alpha_{o}$ : Initial angle above the horizontal in grades

2) The formula to calculate its velocity at any vertical position(y) is as follows:

$v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} -2gy$ Formula (3)

Where:

$v_{f}^{2}$ : Final speed component in vertical direction in m/s

$v_{oy}^{2}$ : Initial speed component in vertical direction in m/s

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s2

3) The formulas to calculate the projectile velocity components at any time (t) are:

$v_{x} = v_{ox}$ Because the movement is uniform in the x direction (constant speed)

$v_{y} = v_{oy}-g*t$ Formula (4) Because the movement is uniformly accelerated in the y direction

Known information:

We know the following data:

$v_{o} = 65.2 \frac{m}{s}$

$\alpha _{o}$ = 34.5º above the horizontal

$g=9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Development of the problem:

Initial speed components(Vox, Voy), (Formula (1), Formula (2)

$v_{ox} = 65.2*Cos34.5 = 53.7\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{oy} = 65.2*Sin34.5 = 36.93\frac{m}{s}$

A) Maximum height (h):

When the projectile reaches its maximum height (h) ,the speed component Vy = 0, then, we replace this value in the Formula (3):

$0=(36.93)^2-2*9.8*h$

$h=\frac{ (36.93)^2}{2*9.8} = 69.58 m$

D) Speed of the projectile 1.50s after firing

We replace t=1.5 s in the formula(4)

$v_{y} = 36.93-9.8*1.5 = 22.23 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_{x} = v_{ox} = 53.7 \frac{m}{s}$

$v = \sqrt{53.7^{2}+22.23^{2}} = 58.12 \frac{m}{s}$ (Speed magnitude)

$\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}) = tan^{-1} (\frac{22.23}{53.7})$

α = 22.49° (Speed direction above the horizontal)
