A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (

a) Determine the time the projectile takes to hit the ground. (b) Find the distance from the base of the cliff to the point where projectile hits the ground. (c) Just before the projectile hits the ground: Find i) the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity, ii) magnitude and direction of the velocity vector i.e. angle it makes with the horizontal. (d) Find the maximum height above the cliff top reached by the projectile.

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

Calculate the location xcm of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. Use a coordinate system in which the center of the Ea
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon (m_{E}, m_{M}) are 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and 7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg, respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}

If x_{E} = 0\,km and x_{M} = 384,403\,km, then:

\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}

\bar x = 4.673\,km

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

f a single circular loop of wire carries a current of 45 A and produces a magnetic field at its center with a magnitude of 1.50
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Radius of the loop is 0.18 m or 18 cm

Explanation:

Given :

Current flowing through the wire, I = 45 A

Magnetic field at the center of the wire, B = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ T

Number of turns in circular wire, N = 1

Consider R be the radius of the circular wire.

The magnetic field at the center of the current carrying circular wire is determine by the relation:

B=\frac{N\mu_{0} I}{2R}

Here μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant and its value is 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A.

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

1.50\times10^{-4} =\frac{4\pi \times10^{-7}\times45 }{2R}

R = 0.18 m

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.

1. Cam Newton can sprint 40 meters in 5.79 seconds! How fast can he run?
Vesnalui [34]

This is a Physics question where we need to figure out how many meters Cam can run per second. To figure this out we divide the distance by the change in time.

40/5.79 = 6.9 meters per second approximately.
