Answer:

(a) max. height = 3.641 m

(b) flight time = 1.723 s

(c) horizontal range = 31.235 m

(d) impact velocity = 20 m/s

Above values have been given to third decimal.  Adjust significant figures to suit accuracy required.

Explanation:

This problem requires the use of kinematics equations

v1^2-v0^2=2aS .............(1)

v1.t + at^2/2 = S ............(2)

where

v0=initial velocity

v1=final velocity

a=acceleration

S=distance travelled

SI units and degrees will be used throughout

Let

theta = angle of elevation = 25 degrees above horizontal

v=initial velocity at 25 degrees elevation in m/s

a = g = -9.81 = acceleration due to gravity (downwards)

(a) Maximum height

Consider vertical direction,

v0 = v sin(theta) = 8.452 m/s

To find maximum height, we find the distance travelled when vertical velocity = 0, i.e. v1=0,

solve for S in equation (1)

v1^2 - v0^2 = 2aS

S = (v1^2-v0^2)/2g = (0-8.452^2)/(2*(-9.81)) = 3.641 m/s

(b) total flight time

We solve for the time t when the vertical height of the object is AGAIN = 0.

Using equation (2) for vertical direction,

v0*t + at^2/2 = S    substitute values

8.452*t + (-9.81)t^2 = 3.641

Solve for t in the above quadratic equation to get t=0, or t=1.723 s.

So time for the flight = 1.723 s

(c) Horiontal range

We know the horizontal velocity is constant (neglect air resistance) at

vh = v*cos(theta) = 25*cos(25) = 18.126 m/s

Time of flight = 1.723 s

Horizontal range = 18.126 m/s * 1.723 s = 31.235 m

(d) Magnitude of object on hitting ground, Vfinal

By symmetry of the trajectory, Vfinal = v = 20, or

Vfinal = sqrt(v0^2+vh^2) = sqrt(8.452^2+18.126^2) = 20 m/s

A 97 kg man lying on a surface of negligible friction shoves a 62 g stone away from himself, giving it a speed of 2.6 m/s. What
tangare [24]

Answer:

man will move in opposite direction with speed

v_1 = 1.66 \times 10^{-3} m/s

Explanation:

As we know that man is lying on the friction-less surface

so here net force along the surface is zero

so if we take man + stone as a system then net change in momentum of this system will become zero

so here we have

P_i = P_f

0 = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

here we have

0 = (97)v_1 + 0.062(2.6)

v_1 = -\frac{0.1612}{97}

v_1 = -1.66 \times 10^{-3} m/s

The gravitational force between two objects is 2400 N. What will be the gravitational force between the objects if the mass of o
motikmotik

Answer:

4800N

Explanation:

Lets assume,

Mass of first object = m₁

Mass of second object = m₂

Distance between the two objects = r

Thus the force between the two objects will be

F = \frac{G\times m_{1}\times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

where, G = Universal gravitational constant

Given, F = 2400N

New mass of second object = 2m₂

Now, the force will be

F_{2} = \frac{G\times m_{1}\times 2m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{2}= 2\frac{G\times m_{1}\times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{2}= 2F

F_{2}= 2\times2400

Thus, F₂ = 4800N

A mechanical wave starts when matter is disturbed by a source of ______.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.
