In 1939 or 1940, Emanuel Zacchini took his human-cannonball act to an extreme. After being shot from a cannon, he soared over th

ree Ferris wheels and into a net. Assume that he is launched with a speed of 26.5 m/s and at an angle of 53.0° and neglect air drag.
a) Treating him as a particle, calculate his clearance over the first wheel.
b) If he reach maximum height over the middle wheel, by how much did he clear it?
c) How far from the cannon should the net's center have been positioned?

 We first determine the vertex by using the formula,<span>-b/2a = vertex, in order to get the values for the t-coordinate. That is why we got 
</span>
v_y=26.5 sin(53)=21.163v_x=26.5 cos(53)=15.948 
then

let x=0since you are going to land on a 3m tally=-.5(9.8)t^2+ 21.163*t
y=0=-4.9t+21.163t=4.31
vx*4.31= total distance travelled=68.88m
Then for the first wheel, you have 15.948m=vxdetermine the time when he reaches 23 meters, that is

23/15.948=1.44218 sec

substitute t with1.44218 sec, then determine the height.
h(1.44218)=20.329

determine vertex by using a graphing calculatort=2.1594s h=22.85m
using the time value of the vertex, determine horizontal distance travelled
34.438m away from cannon

A long uniformly charged thread (linear charge density λ= 2.5 C/m) lies along the x axis in the figure.(Figure 1) A small charge
Kamila [148]

Answer 1) The electric field at distance r from the thread is radial and has magnitude  

E = λ / (2 π ε° r)  

The electric field from the point charge usually is observed to follow coulomb's law:  

E = Q / (4  π ε° r^{2})  

Now, adding the two field vectors:  

E_{thread}  =  {2.5 / (22 π ε° X 0.07 ) ; 0}  

Answer 2) E_{q}  = {2.3 / (4 2 π ε°) ( - 7/ (√(84); -12 / (√84))

Adding these two vectors will give the length which is magnitude of the combined field.  

The y-component / x-component gives the tangent of the angle with the positive x-axes.

Please refer the graph and the attachment for better understanding.

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring. A 300 g body hung below the block stretches the spring 2.00 cm farther. (a) What is the spr
Leokris [45]

The spring constant is 147 N/m

Given the mass of the block is 2.00 kg , the mass of the body is 300 g and the length of the spring is 2.00 cm

We need to find the spring constant

A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.

The force required to stretch an elastic object such as a metal spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring

We know that F = kx

300(9.8)= k (0.02)

k = 147.15 N/m

Rounding off to the nearest is 147N/m

The spring constant is 147N/m

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:  

v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum.   </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:    

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}           (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively.  </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}  

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41  

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.  

I hope it helps you!
