at rest from the ceiling on the end of a 50.0-cm wire. Find the maximum angle through which the block swings after it is hit.

Answer:

θ = 53.7°

Explanation:

Given:

- The mass of ball = M

- The mass of object = 3M

- The wire length L = 0.5 m

- The velocity of ball vi = 4.0 m/s

- The velocity of ball vf

- The velocity of object Vf

Find:

Find the maximum angle through which the block swings after it is hit.

Solution:

- When two objects collide with no external force acting on the system the linear momentum of the system is conserved. The initial (Pi) and final (Pf) linear momentum are equal:

                                  Pi = Pf

                                  M*vi = M*vf + 3M*Vf

                                  vi = vf + 3*Vf

                                  4 = vf + 3*Vf

- For elastic collision between two particles the relative velocities before and after collision have the same magnitude but opposite sign; so,

                                   vi - 0 = Vf - vf

                                   4 = Vf - vf

- Solve the above two equation simultaneously.

                                   8 = 4*Vf

                                   Vf = 2 m/s

                                    vf = -2 m/s

- When the ball hits the object it swing under the influence of gravity only. Hence, no external force acts on the object so we can apply the conservation of energy as the object attains a height h.

                                   ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                                   0.5*(3M)*Vf^2 = (3M)*(g)*(h)

                                   h = Vf^2 / 2*g

- Plug in the values:

                                   h = 2^2 / 2*9.81

                                   h = 0.2039 m

- We can see that the maximum angle can be given as θ according trigonometric relation as follows:

                                  θ = arccos [ ( L - h ) / L ]

                                  θ = arccos [ ( 0.5 - 0.2039 ) / 0.5 ]

                                  θ = 53.7°

The solid right-circular cylinder of mass 500 kg is set into torque-free motion with its symmetry axis initially aligned with th
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

30.95°

Explanation:

We need to define the moment of inertia of cylinder but in terms of mass, that equation say,

A=\frac{1}{12}m(3r^2+l^2)

Replacing the values we have,

A=\frac{1}{12}(500)(3(0.5)^2+(2)^2)A=197.9kg.m^2

At the same time we can calculate the mass moment of intertia of cylinder but in an axial way, that is,

c=\frac{1}{2}mr^2

c=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.5)^2

c=62.5kg.m^2

Finally we need to find the required angle between the fixed line a-a (I attached an image )

\Phi = 2tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{(\frac{A}{cos\gamma})^2-A^2}{c^2}}

Replacing the values that we have,

\Phi = 2tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{(\frac{197.9}{cos5\°})^2-197.9^2}{62.5^2}}

\Phi = 2tan^{-1}(\sqrt{0.076634})

\Phi = 2tan^{-1}(0.2768)

\Phi = 2(15.47)

\Phi = 30.95\°

In deep space, sphere A of mass 94 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 100 kg is located on the axis a
vlabodo [156]

(a) -3.48\cdot 10^{-7} J

The gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system is given by

U=-\frac{Gm_A m_B}{r} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_A = 94 kg is the mass of sphere A

m_B = 100 kg is the mass of sphere B

r = 1.8 m is the distance between the two spheres

Substitutign data in the formula, we find

U=-\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(94 kg)(100 kg)}{1.8 m}=-3.48\cdot 10^{-7} J

and the sign is negative since gravity is an attractive force.

(b) 1.74\cdot 10^{-7}J

According to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy gained by sphere B will be equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the system:

K_f = U_i - U_f (2)

where

U_i=-3.48\cdot 10^{-7} J is the initial potential energy

The final potential energy can be found by substituting

r = 1.80 m -0.60 m=1.20 m

inside the equation (1):

U=-\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(94 kg)(100 kg)}{1.2 m}=-5.22\cdot 10^{-7} J

So now we can use eq.(2) to find the kinetic energy of sphere B:

K_f = -3.48\cdot 10^{-7}J-(-5.22\cdot 10^{-7} J)=1.74\cdot 10^{-7}J

How and why does breathing rate increase during exercise
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>Your heart speeds up to pump extra food and oxygen to the muscles. Breathing speeds up to get more oxygen and to get rid of more carbon dioxide. When a fit person, such as an athlete, exercises the pulse rate, breathing rate and lactic acid levels rise much less than they do in an unfit person.

A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.
vekshin1

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.
