a stream flows with a speed of 3.0 meters per second relative to the shore. A kayaker paddles Downstream with the speed of 1.5 m

eters per second relative to the stream. What is the kayaker speed relative to the shore

Since the kayakers speed is 1.5 meters per second relative to the stream, the kayakers velocity in meters per second relative to the shore should be its speed relative to the stream plus the stream's velocity relative to the shore. This is 1.5m/s + 3.0m/s which is equal to 4.5 meters per second (m/s).

A) One Strategy in a snowball fight the snowball at a hangover level ground. While your opponent is watching this first snowfall

Alexandra [31]

Answers:

a) $\theta_{2}=38\°$

b) $t=0.495 s$

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the snowball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component</u>. Being their main equations as follows for both snowballs:

<h3><u>Snowball 1:</u></h3>

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{1} t_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=14.1 m/s$ is the initial speed of snowball 1 (and snowball 2, as well)

$\theta_{1}=52\°$ is the angle for snowball 1

$t_{1}$ is the time since the snowball 1 is thrown until it hits the opponent

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta_{1} t_{1}+\frac{gt_{1}^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the snowball 1 (assuming that both people are only on the x axis of the frame of reference, therefore the value of the position in the y-component is zero.)

$y=0$ is the final height of the snowball 1

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (always directed downwards)

<h3><u>Snowball 2:</u></h3>

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{2} t_{2}$ (3)

Where:

$\theta_{2}$ is the angle for snowball 2

$t_{2}$ is the time since the snowball 2 is thrown until it hits the opponent

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta_{2} t_{2}+\frac{gt_{2}^{2}}{2}$ (4)

Having this clear, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Angle for snowball 2</h2>

Firstly, we have to isolate $t_{1}$ from (2):

$0=0+V_{o}sin\theta_{1} t_{1}+\frac{gt_{1}^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$t_{1}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{1}(-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g})$ (7)

Rewritting (7) and knowing $sin(2\theta)=sen\theta cos\theta$ :

$x=-\frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g} sin(2\theta_{1})$ (8)

$x=-\frac{(14.1 m/s)^{2}}{-9.8 m/s^{2}} sin(2(52\°))$ (9)

$x=19.684 m$ (10) This is the point at which snowball 1 hits and snowball 2 should hit, too.

With this in mind, we have to isolate $t_{2}$ from (4) and substitute it on (3):

$t_{2}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g}$ (11)

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{2} (-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g})$ (12)

Rewritting (12):

$x=-\frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g} sin(2\theta_{2})$ (13)

Finding $\theta_{2}$ :

$2\theta_{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{-xg}{V_{o}^{2}})$ (14)

$2\theta_{2}=75.99\°$

$\theta_{2}=37.99\° \approx 38\°$ (15) This is the second angle at which snowball 2 must be thrown. Note this angle is lower than the first angle $(\theta_{2} < \theta_{1})$ .

<h2>b) Time difference between both snowballs</h2>

Now we will find the value of $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ from (6) and (11), respectively:

$t_{1}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g}$

$t_{1}=-\frac{2(14.1 m/s)sin(52\°)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}$ (16)

$t_{1}=2.267 s$ (17)

$t_{2}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g}$

$t_{2}=-\frac{2(14.1 m/s)sin(38\°)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}$ (18)

$t_{2}=1.771 s$ (19)

Since snowball 1 was thrown before snowball 2, we have:

$t_{1}-t=t_{2}$ (20)

Finding the time difference $t$ between both:

$t=t_{1}-t_{2}$ (21)

$t=2.267 s - 1.771 s$

Finally:

$t=0.495 s$

An amusement park designer wants his swing to have a centripetal acceleration of 24 m/s2. If the velocity of the swing is 11 m/s

viva [34]

Answer:

<u>radius</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>C</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u>.</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Explanation:

formular for centripetal acceleration:

$a = \frac{ {V}^{2} }{r}$

a is acceleration

V is velocity

r is radius

$24 = \frac{ {11}^{2} }{r} \\ \\ r = \frac{ {11}^{2} }{24} \\ \\ r = 5.0 \: m$
