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

Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body q_1=2.5\ mu C

charge of second body q_2=-3.5\ mu C

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at x=0.6\ m

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of 2.5\mu C because it will repel the q charge while -3.5\mu C will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}

F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}

0.6+x=1.1832x

x=3.27\ m

A missile is moving 1350 m/s at a 25.0° angle. It needs to hit a target 23,500 m away in a 55.0° direction in 10.20 s. What is d
QveST [7]

Answer:

  The target's velocity is about 1320 m/s in the direction 265.7°.

Explanation:

In order for there to be a collision between missile and target, we must have ...

  (target starting position) + (target movement) = (missile movement)

assuming the missile starts from the origin of all measurements. The missile moves 10.2 seconds before impact, so moves a distance of ...

  (10.2 s)(1350 m/s) = 13,770 m

__

We are interested in the target movement, so we can solve for that:

  (target movement) = (missile movement) - (target starting position)

In terms of meters, this is ...

  (target movement) = 13770∠25° - 23500∠55° ≈ 13467.74∠-94.3°

The target covers this distance in the same 10.2 seconds before collision, so its speed is (13467.74 m)/(10.2 s) ≈ 1320.4 m/s.

As a positive angle, the target's direction is ...

  -94.3° +360° = 265.7°

The direction of the target's velocity is 265.7°.

_____

If you're calculating this by hand, there are a couple of ways you can do it. You can convert to rectangular coordinates and back (perhaps least confusing), or you can use the law of cosines to solve the triangle, then translate angles back to the x-y coordinate plane.

Using rectangular coordinates, we have ...

  13770∠25° = 13770(cos(25°), sin(25°)) ≈ (12479.9, 5819.45)

  23500∠55° = 23500(cos(55°), sin(55°)) ≈ (13479.0, 19250.1)

Then the difference is ...

  (12479.9, 5819.45) -(13479.0, 19250.1) ≈ (-999.188, -13430.6)

and the (3rd-quadrant) angle is ...

  target direction = arctan(-13430.6/-999.188) ≈ -94.3° = 265.7°

__

The target's speed is found by dividing the distance it covers by the time it takes.

  √(13430.6² +999.188²)/10.2 ≈ 1320.36 . . . m/s

Find the velocity and distance travelled of a car that is accelerating at 3 m/s2 for 4 seconds.
marta [7]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 3 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: Δx and v

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (4 s) + ½ (3 m/s²) (4 s)²

Δx = 24 m

v = at + v₀

v = (3 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 12 m/s
