On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.50 times as far as he wo

uld have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 44.4 m/s at an angle of 26 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?

Answer:

a) On the distant planet, the ball will travel 395 m horizontally.

b) On the distant planet, the max-height will be 48.3 m.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of an object moving in a parabolic trajectory is the following:

r = (x0 + v0 • t • cos θ, y0 + v0 • t • sin θ + 1/2 • g • t²)

Where:

r = vector position at time t

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

θ = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

a) First, let´s calculate the horizontal distance traveled as if we would be on earth. For this, we have to find the magnitude of the vector "r" in the figure. Seeing the figure, we know that the y-component of the vector "r" is 0 if we place the center of the frame of reference at the launching point.

Then, using the equation for the y-component of "r":

y = y0 + v0 • t • sin θ + 1/2 • g • t² (y0 = 0)

0 m = 44.4 m/s · t · sin 26° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

4.9 m/s² · t² = 44.4 m/s · t · sin 26°

t = 44.4 m/s · sin 26° / 4.9 m/s²

t = 3.97 s

Now, we can calculate the x-component of the vector position at final time:

x = x0 + v0 • t • cos θ (x0 = 0)

x = 44.4 m/s · 3.97 s · cos 26° = 158 m

On the distant planet, the ball will travel 158 m · 2.50 = 395 m horizontally.

b) Since the trajectory is parabolic, the maximum height will be reached at the half of the flight. Then, the maximum height will be at t = 3.97 s/2 = 1.99 s.

The max-height on earth wuould be:

y = y0 + v0 • t • sin θ + 1/2 • g • t²  (y0 = 0)

y = 44.4 m/s · 1.99 s · sin 26° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (1.99 s)²

y = 19.3 m

On the distant planet the max-height will be 19.3 m · 2.50 = 48.3 m

How do the current and coltage readings compare to before the wires were switched. Explain how to interpret them physically?
Blababa [14]
  • The potential difference between two locations in an electric circuit is measured using a voltmeter.
  • If the electricity passes through the voltmeter it shows deflection.

<h3>What is the purpose of a voltmeter?</h3>
  • A voltage meter, usually referred to as a voltmeter, is a device that measures the voltage, or potential difference, between two points in an electrical or electronic circuit.
  • volts is the unit of voltmeter(volts, millivolts, kilovolts)

<h3>What is the explanation for the link between current and voltage?</h3>
  • Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.

<h3>What is ohm's law in circuit?</h3>
  • V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance, is known as Ohm's Law.
  • If you know the voltage of the battery in the circuit and how much resistance is in the circuit, you may use Ohm's Law to identify properties of a circuit, such as how much current is flowing through it.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

Explanation:

Let's look for the speed of the car

     F = m a

    a = F / m

We use kinematics to find lips

    v = v₀ + a t

    v = v₀ + (F / m) t

The moment is defined by

    p = m v

The moment change

    Δp = m v - m v₀

Let's replace the speeds in this equation

    Δp = m (v₀ + F / m t) - m v₀

    Δp = m v₀  + F t - m v₀  

    Δp = F t

We see that the change of momentum does not depend on the mass of the cars, as the force and time are the same all vehicles have the same change of momentum

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.

A small airplane with a wingspan of 18.0 m is flying due north at a speed of 63.6 m/s over a region where the vertical component
choli [55]

Answer:

(a) ε = 1373.8.

(b) The wingtip which is at higher potential.

Explanation:

(a) Finding the potential difference between the airplane wingtips.

Given the parameters

wingspan of the plane is = 18.0m

speed of the plane in north direction is = 70.0m/s

magnetic field of the earth is = 1.20μT

The potential difference is given as:

ε = Blv

where ε = potential difference of wingtips

B = magnetic field of earth

l = wingspan of airplane

v = speed of airplane

ε = 1.2 x 18.0 x 63.6

ε  = 1373.8

(b) Which wingtip is at  higher potential?

The wingtip which is at higher potential.
