A rock is thrown at a window that is located 16.0 m above the ground. The rock is thrown from the ground at an angle of 40.0° ab

ove horizontal with an initial speed of 30.0 m/s and experiences no appreciable air resistance. If the rock strikes the window on its upward trajectory, from what horizontal distance from the window was it released?

Answer:

x = 27.3 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's start by looking for the time it takes for the rock to reach the height of the window.

Let's use trigonometry to find the velocities of the rock

           sin 40 = v_{oy} / v

           cos 40 = v₀ₓ / v

           v_{oy}= v sin 40

           v₀ₓ = v cos 40

           v_{oy} = 30 sin 40 = 19.28 m / s

           v₀ₓ = v cos 40

           v₀ₓ = 30 cos 40 = 22.98 m / s

we look for the time

        v_{y}^2 = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g y

         v_{y}^2 = 19.28 2 - 2 9.8 16 = 371.71 - 313.6 = 58.118

        v_{y} = 7.623 m / s

we calculate the time

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          t = (v_{oy} - v_{y}) / g

          t = (19.28 -7.623) / 9.8

          t = 1,189 s

           

since the time is the same for both movements let's use this time to find the horizontal distance

           x = v₀ₓ t

           x = 22.98 1,189

           x = 27.3 m

Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 23 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.1 cm from the left end o
Mila [183]

Answer:

a) x=\frac{m_{1}d_{1}+m_{2}(d_{1}+d_{2})+m_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}  ) }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }

b) x = 4.47 cm

c) x=\frac{m_{1}d_{2}+m_{2}(0)+m_{3}d_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }

d) x = 1.48 cm

Explanation:

a) The center of mass is equal to:

x=\frac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}+m_{3}x_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2} +m_{3}}

Where m is the mass of beads and x is the distances, if x₁ = d₁, x₂ = d₂ and x₃ = d₃

x=\frac{m_{1}d_{1}+m_{2}(d_{1}+d_{2})+m_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}  ) }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }

b) If

m₁ = 23g

m₂ = 15 g

m₃ = 58 g

d₁ = 1.1 cm

d₂ = 1.9 cm

d₃ = 3.2 cm

x=\frac{23*1.1+15*(1.1+1.9)+58(1.1+1.9+3.2) }{23+15+58 } =4.47cm

c) The center of the mass of the beads realtive to the center of bead is:

x=\frac{m_{1}d_{2}+m_{2}(0)+m_{3}d_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }

d) x=\frac{23*(-1.9)+(15*0)+(58*3.2) }{23+15+58 } =1.48cm

As the mass of an object increases so does its gravitational force. <br> a. True <br> b. False
vichka [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Gravity force is constant.

There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.

If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.

If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.

The amount of energy that must be absorbed or lost to raise or lower the temperature of 1 g of liquid water by 1°c _____.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

4.2 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K

From specific heat capacity,

Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.

Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C

Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.001×4200(1)

Q = 4.2 J.

Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J
