At a meeting of physics teacher in Montana, the teachers were asked to calculate where a flour sack would land if dropped from a

moving airplane. The plane would be moving horizontally at a constant speed of 60 m/s at an altitude of 300.

At a distance of 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sack to reach the ground.

To do so, we just analyze its vertical motion, which is a free-fall motion, so we can use the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 300 m is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

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

Solving for t, we find the it takes for the sack to reach the ground:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(300)}{9.8}}=7.82 s

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. The horizontal velocity of the pack is constant (since there are no forces along the horizontal direction) and equal to the initial speed of the airplane, so:

v_x = 60 m/s

We also know the total time of flight,

t = 7.82 s

Therefore, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the sack:

d=v_x t = (60)(7.82)=469.2 m

So, the sack will land 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

or

p = mv

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s

Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s

Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s

Hence, the momentum of the man is 20kgm/s

Question 30
stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.69\°

Explanation:

The angular diameter \delta of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})

Where:

d=16 m is the actual diameter

D=1338 m is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})

\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\° This is the angular diameter

An artillery shell is launched on a flat, horizontal field at an angle of α = 40.8° with respect to the horizontal and with an i
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle=\alpha=40.8^{\circ}

Initial speed =v_0=346m/s

We have to find the horizontal distance covered  by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed=v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s

Vertical component of initial speed=v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance =Horizontal\;velocity\times time

Using the  formula

Horizontal distance=261.9\times 5.03

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

A) Determine the x and y-components of the ball's velocity at t = 0.0s, 2.0, 3.0 secs.
malfutka [58]

The kinematic relationships we can find the position, acceleration and launch angle of the body on the planet Exidor.

a) the position are

      time (s)  x (m)   y(m)

        0            0          0

        2.0         3.6        1.2

        3.0         5.4        0.9

b) The aceleration is  g = 0.6 m / s²

c) The launch angle      θ = 33.7º

given parameters

  • the initial velocity of the body vₓ = 1.8m / s and v_y = 1.2 m / s
  • the movement times t = 1.0s, 2.0s and 3.0 s

to find

    a) position

    b) acceleration

    c) launch angle

Projectile launch is an application of kinematics to the movement of the body in two dimensions where there is no acceleration on the x axis and the y axis has the planet's gravity acceleration

b) To calculate the acceleration of the plant acting on the y-axis, we use that the vertical velocity of the body at the highest point is zero.

         v_y = v_{oy} - g t

where v and v({oy}  are the velocities of the body, g the acceleration of the planet's gravity and t the time

          0 = v_{oy} - gt

           g = v_{oy} / t

from the graph we observe that the highest point occurs for t = 2.0 s

           g = 1.2 / 2.0

           g = 0.6 m / s²

 

a) The position is requested for several times

X axis

in this axis there is no acceleration so we can use the uniform motion relationships

          vₓ = x / t

          x = vₓ t

where x is the position, vx is the velocity and t is the time

we calculate for the time

t = 0.0 s

          x₀ = 0

           

t = 2.0 s

          x₂ = 1.8 2

          x₂ = 3.6 m

t = 3.0 s

          x₃ = 1.8 3

          x₃ = 5.4 m

Y axis

In this axis there is the acceleration of the planet, let us use for the position the relation

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

t = 0.0 s

          y₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0 m

t = 2.0 s

         y₂ = 1.2 2 - ½ 0.6 2²

         y₂ = 1.2 m

t = 3.0 s

        y₃ = 1.2  3 - ½  0.6  3²

        y₃ = 0.9 m

c) the launch angle use the trigonometry relation

        tan θ = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

        θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{v_y}{v_x}

        θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{1.2}{1.8}

        θ = 33.7º

measured counterclockwise from the positive side of the x-axis

With the kinematic relationships we can find the position, acceleration and launch angle of the body on the planet Exidor.

a) the position are

      time (s)  x (m)   y(m)

        0            0          0

        2.0         3.6        1.2

        3.0         5.4        0.9

b) The aceleration is  g = 0.6 m / s²

c) The launch angle      θ = 33.7ºto)
