A high school physics student claims her muscle car can achieve a constant acceleration of 10 ft/s/s. Her friend develops an acc

elerometer to confirm the feat. The accelerometer consists of a 1 ft long rod (mass=4 kg) with one end attached to the ceiling of the car, but free to rotate. During acceleration, the rod rotates. What will be the angle of rotation of the rod during this acceleration? Assume the road is flat and straight.

Answer: Ф = 17.2657 ≈ 17°

Explanation:

we simply apply ET =0 about the ending of the rod

so In.g.L/2sinФ - In.a.L/2cosФ = 0

g.sinФ - a.cosФ = 0

g.sinФ = a.cosФ

∴ tanФ = a/g

Ф =  tan⁻¹ a / g

Ф = tan⁻¹ ( 10 / 32.17405)

Ф = tan⁻¹ 0.31080948777

Ф = 17.2657 ≈ 17°

Therefore the angle of rotation of the rod during this acceleration is 17.2657 ≈ 17°

This diagram shows that Al can see the reflections of Ed and Fred in the mirror. Which two students can both see the reflections
vazorg [7]

Answer:

  Cy and Di

Explanation:

We cannot tell exactly where the right end of the mirror is, but if we assume it is short of allowing Ed and Fred to see each other, we have the following:

  Cy can see Cy and everyone to the right

  Fred can see Di and everyone to the left

The only two that can see all of Cy, Di, Ed, and Fred are Cy and Di.

_____

If the mirror extends far enough to the right for Ed to see Fred, then all of Cy, Di, and Ed can see the four folks of interest.

A hiker throws a ball at an angle of 21.0° above the horizontal from a hill 21.0 m high. The hiker’s height is 1.750 m. The magn
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

38.8 m

Explanation:

h = -(21 + 1.75) = - 22.75 m

g = - 9.8 m /s^2

Ux = 14.004 m/s

Uy = + 5.376 m/s

Let the ball hits the ground in time t and at a distance d from the base of hill.

Use second equation of motion

h = Uyt + 0.5 at^2

- 22.75 = 5.376 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t^2

4.9 t^2 - 5.376 t - 22.75 = 0

t=\frac{5.376\pm \sqrt{5.376^{2}+4\times 4.9\times 22.75}}{9.8}

By solving

t = 2.77 second

So, horizontal distance

d = Ux t

d = 14.004 x 2.77 = 38.8 m
