To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equation related to the Gravitational Force, the equation describes that

$F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth (or Bigger star)

m = Mass of Object (or smallest star)

r = Radius

From the statement we know that once the impact is made, the golf ball is subjected to the forces that are exerted in nature. Since the air resistance, which would represent the drag force, is ignored. Only the forces related to gravity remain.

The gravitational force carries 'pushes' or 'attracts' the body towards the earth, while the speed decreases as it reaches its maximum height.

When the ball has reached its maximum height only the force of gravity begins to act on it, generating the attraction to the earth in parabolic motion.

Therefore the correct answer is B.

Complete question:

A 3.53-g lead bullet traveling at 428 m/s strikes a target, converting its kinetic energy into thermal energy. Its initial temperature is 40.0°C. The specific heat is 128 J/(kg · °C), latent heat of fusion is 24.5 kJ/kg, and the melting point of lead is 327°C.

(a) Find the available kinetic energy of the bullet. J

(b) Find the heat required to melt the bullet. J

Answer:

Part (a) the available kinetic energy of the bullet is 323.32 J

Part (b) the heat required to melt the bullet is 216.17 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet = 3.53 g = 0.00353 kg

velocity of the bullet = 428 m/s

initial temperature of the bullet = 40.0°C

final temperature of the bullet = 327°C

specific heat capacity, c= 128 J/(kg · °C)

latent heat of fusion, Hf = 24.5 kJ/kg

Part (a) the available kinetic energy of the bullet. J

KE = ¹/₂ × mv²

KE = ¹/₂ × 0.00353 × 428²

= 323.32 J

Part (b) the heat required to melt the bullet. J

This is the thermal energy required to increase the temperature of the bullet and the heat energy required to melt the bullet.

Quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of the bullet:

Q = mcΔT

= 0.00353 × 128 × (327-40)

= 0.00353 × 128 × 287

= 129.68 J

Quantity of heat required to melt the bullet:

$Q = mH_f$

Q = 0.00353 × 24500

= 86.49 J

TOTAL energy required to melt the bullet = 129.68 J + 86.49 J

= 216.17 J

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo

BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s$

We need to find $\frac{d\theta}{dt}$ when $x=8ft$

The equation that relates x and $\theta$ can be written as,

$\frac{x}{6} tan\theta$

$x = 6tan\theta$

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

Replacing the value of the velocity

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta$

The value of $cos \theta$ could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to
