Answer:

She must be launched with minimum speed of <u>57.67 m/s</u> to clear the 520 m gap.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The angle of projection of the projectile is, \theta =65°

Range of the projectile is, R=520 m.

Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8\ m/s^2

The minimum speed to cross the gap is the initial speed of the projectile and can be determined using the formula for range of projectile.

The range of projectile is given as:

R=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plug in all the given values and solve for minimum speed, v_0.

520=\frac{v_{0}^2\sin(2(65))}{9.8}\\520\times 9.8=v_{0}^2\sin(130)\\5096=1.532v_{0}^2\\v_0^2=\frac{5096}{1.532}\\v_0^2=3326.371\\v_0=\sqrt{3326.371}=57.67\textrm{ m/s}

Therefore, she must be launched with minimum speed of 57.67 m/s to clear the 520 m gap.

As an intern with an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel, for rotation about an ax
AysviL [449]

Answer:

I=2.766\ kg.m^2

Explanation:

We have:

diameter of the wheel, d=0.88\ m

weight of the wheel, w_w=280\ N

mass of hanging object to the wheel, m_o=6.32\ kg

speed of the hanging mass after the descend, v_o=4\ m.s^{-1}

height of descend, h=2.5\ m

(a)

moment of inertia of wheel about its central axis:

I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2

I=\frac{1}{2} \frac{w_w}{g}.r^2

I=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{280}{9.8}\times 0.44^2

I=2.766\ kg.m^2

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}  J.s
