For a projectile, why is the initial horizontal velocity equal to the final horizontal velocity?

1 answer:

4 0

I am assuming that the context is that of a thrown projectile (a ball, a bullet, etc.) in the gravitational field of the Earth.

A car driving at 20 m/s accelerates continuously 2m/s2 for 3 seconds. What is its final velocity

Lesechka [4]

Answer: V= u+ at

V= final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time taken

V= 20 + 2*3

V= 26m/s

A bug is sitting on the edge of a rotating disk. At what angular velocity will the bug slide off the disk if its radius is 0.241

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

ω = 3.61 rad/sec

Explanation:

Firstly, we should know that the bug will not slip if friction can provide sufficient opposing force.

μmg = mv^2/r = mω^2r

Thus;

μg = ω^2r

ω^2 = μg/r

ω = √(μg/r)

ω = √(0.321 * 9.8)/0.241

ω = √(13.05)

= 3.61 rad/sec

Estimate frequency of vibration of your arm. Let the length of the arm be 0.57 m. Consider the arm as a simple pendulum and assu

skad [1K]

Answer:

0.80865 Hz

1.23662 seconds

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Length of arm = 0.57 m

Length of simple pendulum is given by

$L=\dfrac{2}{3}l\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 0.57\\\Rightarrow L=0.38\ m$

The frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.38}}\\\Rightarrow f=0.80865\ Hz$

The frequency is 0.80865 Hz

The time period is given by

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{0.80865}\\\Rightarrow T=1.23662\ s$

The time period is 1.23662 seconds

Explain how a star's absorption spectrum and the concept of red shift help support the Big Bang Theory.

marta [7]

Answer:

Red shift supports the big bang theory. ... The light from distant galaxies is red shifted (this tells us the galaxies are moving away from us) and the further away the galaxy the greater the red shift (this tells us that the more distant the galaxy the faster it is moving). Constellations look like they are moving because earth is rotating on it's axis.
