Which projectiles will be visibly affected by air resistance when they fall?

1 answer:

4 0

Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.

Vinil7 [7]

PART A)

Here by force balance along Y direction

$Tsin45 + F_y = 500 + 200$

Force balance along X direction

$Tcos45 = F_x$

now by torque balance

$Tsin45 (6) = 500 (2.5) + 200 (3)$

$T(4.24) = 1250 + 600$

$T = 436.3 N$

PART B)

now from above equations

$Tsin45 + F_y = 700$

$F_y = 391.5 N$

$F_x = Tcos45 = 308.5 N$

now net reaction force of wall is given as

$F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}$

$F = 498.4 N$

Your neighbor Paul has rented a truck with a loading ramp. The ramp is tilted upward at 25°, and Paul is pulling a large crate u

Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ramp is tilted upwards at 25 degrees and Paul is pulling a large crate up the ramp with a rope that angles 10° above the ramp.

Total angle with respect to ramp is 35 degrees.

If Paul pulls with a force of 550 N.

The horizontal component of the force is given by :

$F_x=F\ cos\theta$

$F_x=550\ cos(35)$

$F_x=450.53\ N$

The vertical component of the force is given by :

$F_y=F\ sin\theta$

$F_y=550\ sin(35)$

$F_y=315.46\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Does the sun sun traces shortest path across local sky on june solstice

viktelen [127]

The June solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice. The June Solstice in the Southern hemisphere is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is equivalent to the longest day while the winter solstice is equivalent to the shortest day. Therefore on the local sky, when is the June solstice we have have the longest day (longest path of sun in the sky) in the Northern hemisphere and the shortest day (shortest path of sun in the sky) in the Southern hemisphere.
