Answer:
a) L=0. b) L = 262 k ^ Kg m²/s and c) L = 1020.7 k^ kg m²/s
Explanation:
It is angular momentum given by
L = r x p
Bold are vectors; where L is the angular momentum, r the position of the particle and p its linear momentum
One of the easiest ways to make this vector product is with the use of determinants
Let's apply this relationship to our case
Let's start by breaking down the speed
v₀ₓ = v₀ cosn 45
voy =v₀ sin 45
v₀ₓ = 9 cos 45
voy = 9 without 45
v₀ₓ = 6.36 m / s
voy = 6.36 m / s
a) at launch point r = 0 whereby L = 0
. b) let's find the position for maximum height, we can use kinematics, at this point the vertical speed is zero
vfy² = voy²- 2 g y
y = voy² / 2g
y = (6.36)²/2 9.8
y = 2.06 m
Let's calculate the angular momentum
L=
L = -px y k ^
L = - (m vox) (2.06) k ^
L = - 20 6.36 2.06 k ^
L = 262 k ^ Kg m² / s
The angular momentum is on the z axis
c) At the point of impact, at this point the height is zero and the position on the x-axis is the range
R = vo² sin 2θ / g
R = 9² sin (2 45) /9.8
R = 8.26 m
L =
L = - x py k ^
L = - x m voy
L = - 8.26 20 6.36 k ^
L = 1020.7 k^ kg m² /s
(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
And so the new kinetic energy is
So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
And so the new kinetic energy is
So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
