Answer:

v_o=40.14\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch </u>

It happens when an object is launched with an angle of zero respect to the horizontal reference. It's characteristics are:

  • The horizontal speed is constant and equal to the initial speed v_o
  • The vertical speed is zero at launch time, but increases as the object starts to fall
  • The height of the object gradually decreases until it hits the ground
  • The horizontal distance where the object lands is called the range

We have the following formulas

\displaystyle v_x=v_o

\displaystyle x=v_o.t

\displaystyle v_y=g.t

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where v_o is the initial horizontal speed, v_y is the vertical speed, t is the time, g is the acceleration of gravity, x is the horizontal distance, and y is the height.

If we know the initial height of the object, we can compute the time it takes to hit the ground by using

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

Rearranging and solving for t

\displaystyle 2y=gt^2

\displaystyle t^2=\frac{2\ y}{g}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\ y}{g}}

We then replace this value in

\displaystyle x=v_o.t

To get

\displaystyle v_o=\frac{x}{t}

\displaystyle v_o=\frac{x}{\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}}

\displaystyle v_o=\sqrt{\frac{g}{2y}}.x

The initial speed depends on the initial height y=32.5 m, the range x=107.6 m and g=9.8 m/s^2. Computing v_o

\displaystyle v_o=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2(35.2)}}\ 107.6

The launch velocity is  

\boxed{v_o=40.14\ m/s}

Two pipes move the same amount of ideal fluid in the same amount of time. One pipe has a 2 in. diameter; the other has a 3 in. d
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

a) 3-in. pipe

Explanation:

Given that

Fluid flow is in same amount in the same time it means that volume flow rate is same for the pipes

Volume flow rate

Q = A V

A=Area ,V=Velocity

A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2

If diameter d is more then the velocity will be less for same volume flow rate .We also Know that if pressure is more then the velocity will be less.

The second pipe 3 in diameter having more diameter then the velocity will be less but the pressure will be more.

That is why the 3 in diameter is having more pressure than 2 in diameter pipe.

Therefore the answer will be a.

a) 3-in diameter  pipe

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%
