The record distance in the sport of throwing cowpats is 81.1 m. This record toss was set by Steve Urner of the United States in

1981. Assuming the initial launch angle was 45° and neglecting air resistance, answer the following. (a) Determine the initial speed of the projectile. m/s

Answer:

28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The range of a projectile launched from the ground is given by:

d=\frac{v^2}{g}sin 2\theta

where

v is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta is the angle at which the projectile is thrown

In this problem we have

d = 81.1 m is the range

\theta=45^{\circ} is the angle

Solving for v, we find the speed of the projectile:

v=\sqrt{\frac{dg}{sin 2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(81.1 m)(9.8 m/s^2)}{sin (2\cdot 45^{\circ})}}=28.2 m/s

ryzh [129]

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.

A meteoroid is traveling east through the atmosphere at 18. 3 km/s while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s. What is its speed, i
Annette [7]

Answer:

The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

Explanation:

Given that,

A meteoroid is traveling through the atmosphere at 18.3 km/s. while descending at a rate of 11.5 km/s it means 11.5 km/s in south.

We need to draw a diagram

Using Pythagorean theorem

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

AC^2=(18.3)^3+(11.5)^2

AC=\sqrt{(18.3)^2+(11.5)^2}

AC=21.61\ km/s

Hence, The speed of meteoroid is 21.61 km/s in south-east.

What is the weight of an astronaut who has a mass of 90 kg on the moon? (Note: acceleration due to gravity of the moon is 1.62 N
motikmotik

Answer:

W = 145.8 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 90 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]

W = 90*1.62

W = 145.8 [N]

A hiker begins a trip by first walking 25.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the seco
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(a)

x_1=17.68km\\y_1=-17.68km\\x_2=20km\\y_2=34.64km

(b) r=41.32km

\alpha =24.23^o

Explanation:

Let us take the north direction to be the positive y-axis and the east to be positive x-axis.

First day:

25.0 km southeast, which implies 45^o south of east. The y-component will be negative and the x-component will be positive.

x_1=25cos45^o=17.68km

y_1=-25sin45^o=-17.68km

Second day:

She starts off at the stopping point of last day. This time, both the y- and x-components are positive.

x_2=40cos60^o=20km

y_2=40sin60^o=34.64km

Therefore, total displacements:

x=x_1+x_2=(17.68+20)km=37.68km

y=y_1+y_2=(-17.68+34.64)km=16.96km

Magnitude of displacements,

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=41.32km

Direction,

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=24.23^o
