A physics book slides off a horizontal tabletop with a speed of 1.10 m/s. It strikes the floor in 0.350s. ignore air resistance.

Find (a) the height of the tabletop above the floor; (b) the horizontal distance from the edge of the table to the point where the book strikes the floor; (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the book's velocity, and the magnitude and direction of its velocity, just before the book reaches the floor.

Answer:

a. 0.6 m b. 0.385 m c. 3.6 m/s at 287.78° to the horizontal

Explanation:

a. Using s = ut - 1/2gt² for motion under gravity where s = vertical distance = height of table, u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s, t = time of flight = 0.350 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting these these values into s and taking the top of the table as position 0 m, we have.

0 - s = 0t - 1/2gt²

-s = -1/2gt²

s = 1/2gt²

s = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (0.350 s)²

s = 0.6 m

b. Using d = v't where d = horizontal distance from table, v' = horizontal velocity of book = 1.10 m/s and t = time of flight = 0.350 s

d = v't = 1.10 m/s × 0.350 s = 0.385 m

c. Using v² = u² - 2gs where u = initial vertical velocity of book = 0 m/s and g = 9.8 m/s², s = -0.6 m (negative since we are at the bottom and 0 m is at the top)and v = final vertical velocity of book

v² = u² - 2gs

= 0 - 2 × 9.8 m/s² × (-0.6 m)

= 11.76 m²/s²

v = √11.76 m/s

= 3.43 m/s

So, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is V = √(v² + v'²)

= √((3.43 m/s)² + (1.10 m/s)'²)

= √(11.76 m²/s² + 1.21 m²/s²)

= √12.97 m²/s²

= 3.6 m/s

Its direction Ф = tan⁻¹(-v/v') since v is in the negative y direction

= tan⁻¹(-3.43 m/s/1.10 m/s)

= tan⁻¹(-3.1182)

= -72.22°

Ф = -72.22°+ 360 = 287.78° since it is in the third quadrant

Use the five rules to determine the validity of this categorical syllogism:
Novay_Z [31]

Question:

The five rules are;

"The middle term must be distributed in at least one premise.

If a major or minor term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises.

No syllogism can have two negative premises.

If either premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative.

No syllogism with a particular conclusion can have two universal premises."

Answer:

The categorical syllogism is invalid as it does not meet thr requirements of rule 2

Invalid because it breaks rule #2.

Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion is  implied based on the logical stipulation of the premise is a deductive argument

A  syllogism is a deductive argument that makes use of deductive reasoning to come to  conclusion, considering a number of of two or more premises which are taken to be true.

For categorical syllogism, we have

If  A is in C, then B is in C

Based on the five rules, we have

1. The middle term must be distributed at least once

Here, the middle term is all neutron stars are extremely dense hence i says something about all items in a category, therefore it is distributed

2. If a term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premise.

Here, the distributed term in the conclusion are "extremely dense objects" is not distributed in the premise, therefore the categorical syllogism is invalid.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.
