A projectile is launched upward at an angle of 70⁰ from the horizontal and strikes the ground a certain distance down range. For

what angle of launch at the same speed would this projectile land just as far away?

Answer:20°

Explanation:

Recall

Range R of a projectile is given by U^2sin2A/g

We're U = velocity,A= angle of projection and g is acceleration due to gravity

From the question the range R are the same

Hence R1=R2

U1^2sin2A/g=U2^2sin2B/g

But U1=U2 and g=g

Hence sin2A=sin 2B

Sin 2*70= sin2*B

0.6427=sin2B

B=sin inverse(0.6427)=40/2=20°

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. Part A How m

PART A)

Electrostatic potential at the position of origin is given by

$V = \frac{kq_1}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2}{r_2}$

here we have

$q_1 = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$q_2 = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

$r_1 = r_2 = 1 m$

now we have

$V = \frac{Ke}{r} - \frac{Ke}{r}$

$V = 0$

Now work done to move another charge from infinite to origin is given by

$W = q(V_f - V_i)$

here we will have

$W = e(0 - 0) = 0$

so there is no work required to move an electron from infinite to origin

PART B)

Initial potential energy of electron

$U = \frac{Kq_1e}{r_1} + \frac{kq_2e}{r_2}$

$U = \frac{9\times 10^9(-1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{19} + \frac{9\times 10^9(1.6\times 10^{-19}(-1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{21}$

$U = (2.3\times 10^{-28})(\frac{1}{19} - \frac{1}{21})$

$U = 1.15\times 10^{-30}$

Now we know

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31}(100)^2$

$KE = 4.55 \times 10^{-27} kg$

now by energy conservation we will have

So here initial total energy is sufficient high to reach the origin

PART C)

It will reach the origin

The kinetic energy of a 10 Kg ball rolling at 10 meters per second is how many joules

Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 500 joules

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ball = 10kg

kinetic energy = ?

velocity of the ball = 10m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves

i.e K.E = 1/2mv²

K.E = 1/2 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 0.5 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 5 x 100

K.E = 500 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the ball is 500 joules

Alona [7]

Answer:

u = 10.63 m/s

h = 1.10 m

Explanation:

For Take-off speed ..

by using the standard range equation we have

$R = u² sin2θ/g$

R = 9.1 m

θ = 26º,

Initial velocity = u

solving for u

$u² = \frac{Rg}{sin2\theta}$

$u^2 = \frac{9.1 x 9.80}{sin26}$

$u^2 = 113.17$

u = 10.63 m/s

for Max height

using the standard h(max) equation ..

$v^2 = (v_osin\theta)^2 -2gh$

$h =\frac{(v_o^2sin\theta)^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(113.17)(sin26)^2}{(2 x 9.80)}}$

h = 1.10 m
