In 2007, michael carter (u.s.) set a world record in the shot put with a throw of 24.77 m. what was the initial speed of the sho

t if he released it at a height of 2.10 m and threw it at an angle of 38.0º above the horizontal? (although the maximum distance for a projectile on level ground is achieved at 45º when air resistance is neglected, the actual angle to achieve maximum range is smaller; thus, 38º will give a longer range than 45º in the shot put.)

The initial speed of the shot is 15.02 m/s.

The Shot put is released at a height y<em> </em>from the ground with a speed u. It is released at an angle θ to the horizontal. In a time t, the shot put travels a distance <em>R</em> horizontally.

Pl refer to the attached diagram.

Resolve the velocity u into horizontal and vertical components, u ₓ=ucosθ and uy=u sinθ. The horizontal component remains constant in the absence of air resistance, while the vertical component varies due to the action of the gravitational force.

Write an expression for R.

R=u_xt=(ucos \theta)t

Therefore,

t=\frac{R}{ucos\theta} .......(1)

In the time t, the net displacement of the shotput is y in the downward direction.

Use the equation of motion,

y=u_yt-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=(usin\theta) t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substitute the value of t from equation (1).

y=(ucos\theta)(\frac{R}{ucos\theta} )-\frac{1}{2} g(\frac{R}{ucos\theta} )^2\\ =Rtan\theta-(\frac{gR^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta} )

Substitute -2.10 m for y, 24.77 m for R and 38.0° for θ and solve for u.

y=Rtan\theta-(\frac{gR^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta} )\\ (-2.10m)=(24.77 m)(tan38.0^o)-\frac{(9.8 m/s^2)(24.77m)^2}{2u^2(cos38.0^o)^2} \\ u^2=225.71(m/s)^2\\ u=15.02m/s

The shot put was thrown with a speed 15.02 m/s.

Why were the rings of Uranus not observed directly from telescopes on the ground on Earth? How were they discovered?
leonid [27]

Answer:Explained below.

Explanation:

Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult  to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of  material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout  the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.
