A rock is thrown at a window that is located 18.0 m above the ground. The rock is thrown at an angle of 40.0° above horizontal.

The rock is thrown from a height of 2.00 m above the ground with a speed of 30.0 m/s and experiences no appreciable air resistance. If the rock strikes the window on its upward trajectory, from what horizontal distance from the window was it released?A. 29.8 mB. 27.3 mC. 48.7 mD. 71.6 mE. 53.2 m

Answer:

B) 27.3 m

Explanation:

The rock describes a parabolic path.

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x = vx*t Equation (1)

Where:

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity in m/s

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis are:

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀) Equation (2)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (3)

Where:

y: vertical position in meters (m)

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial vertical velocity in m/s

vfy: final vertical velocity in m/s

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 30 m/s , at an angle α=40.0° above the horizontal

v₀x = vx = 30*cos40° = 22.98 m/s

v₀y = 30*sin40° = 19.28 m/s

y₀ = 2m

y = 18.0 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the time (t) it takes for the rock to reach at 18 m above the ground

We replace data in the equation (2)

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² - 2g(y- y₀)

(vfy)² = (19.28)² - 2(9.8)(18- 2)

(vfy)² = 371.86 - 313.6

(vfy)² = 58.26

$v_{f} = \sqrt{58.26}$

vfy = 7.63 m/s

We replace vfy = 7.63 m/s in the equation (2)

vfy = v₀y - gt

7.63 = 19.28 - (9.8)(t)

(9.8)(t) = 11.65

t = 11.65 / (9.8)

t = 1.19 s

Horizontal distance from where the rock was thrown to the window

We replace t = 1.19 s , in the equation (1)

x = vx*t

x = (22.98)* ( 1.19 )

x = 27.3 m

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The canon B hits the ground fast.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cannon A = 85 m/s

Speed of cannon B= 100 m/s

Speed of cannon C = 75 m/s

We need to calculate the cannonballs will hit the ground with the greatest speed

Using conservation of energy

The final kinetic energy of canon depends on initial kinetic energy and potential energy.

The final velocity depends upon initial velocity and initial height.

So, the initial velocity of canon B is high.

Hence, The canon B hits the ground fast.

Two balls of clay, with masses M1 = 0.49 kg and M2 = 0.47 kg, are thrown at each other and stick when they collide. Mass 1 has a

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) $p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

b) $v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

c) $v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given masses:

$m_1=0.49\ kg$

$m_2=0.47\ kg$

Velocity of mass 1, $v_1=3.2 \hat{i}\ m.s^{-1}$

Velocity of mass 2, $v_2=1.6 \hat{j}\ m.s^{-1}$

a)

Initial momentum:

$p_i=m_1.v_1+m_2.v_2$

$p_i=0.49\times 3.2 \hat{i}+0.47\times 1.6 \hat{j}$

$p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

b)

magnitude of initial momentum:

$p_i=\sqrt{1.568^2+0.752 ^2}$

$p_i=1.739\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

From the conservation of momentum:

$p_f=p_i$

$m_f.v_f=1.739$

$v_f=\frac{1.739}{0.49+0.47}$

$v_f=1.85\ m.s^{-1}$ is the magnitude of final velocity.

Direction of final velocity will be in the direction of momentum:

$tan\theta=\frac{0.752 }{1.568}$

$\theta=25.62^{\circ}$

$\therefore v_{fx}=1.85\ cos25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

c)

Vertical component of final velocity:

$v_{fy}=1.85\ sin 25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$

A string with linear density 0.500 g/m.

Tension 20.0 N.

The maximum speed $v_{y, max}$

The energy contained in a section of string 3.00 m long as a function of $v_{y, max}$ .

We are given following data for string with linear density held under tension :

μ = 0.5 $\frac{g}{m}$

= 0.5 x 10⁻³ $\frac{kg}{m}$

T = 20 N

If string is L = 3m long, total energy as a function of $v_{y, max}$ is given by:

E = 1/2 x μ x L x ω² x A²

= 1/2 x μ x L x $v^{2} _{y, max}$

= 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ $v^{2} _{y, max}$

So, The total energy as a function of $v^{2} _{y, max}$ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ $v^{2} _{y, max}$
