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

What's the mass show the work?
Alja [10]
You do this one just like the other one that I just solved for you.

For this one ...

The density of the object is 2.5 gm/cm³.
We know that every cm³ of it we have contains 2.5 gm of mass.
We have to find out how many cm³ we have.

The question tells us:  We have  2.0 cm³.

Each cm³ of space that the object occupies contains 2.5 gm of mass.

So the 2.0 cm³ that we have contains (2 x 2.5 gm) = 5 gms.
That's the mass of our object.

A 0.0140 kg bullet traveling at 205 m/s east hits a motionless 1.80 kg block and bounces off it, retracing its original path wit
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

Explanation:

Here momentum is conserved.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Mass of bullet = 0.0140 kg

Consider east as positive.

Initial velocity of bullet = 205 m/s

Mass of Block = 1.8 kg

Initial velocity of block = 0 m/s

Initial momentum = 0.014 x 205 + 1.8 x 0 = 2.87 kg m/s

Final velocity of bullet = -103 m/s

We need to find final velocity of the block( u )

Final momentum = 0.014 x -103+ 1.8 x u = -1.442 + 1.8 u

We have

            2.87 = -1.442 + 1.8 u

               u = 2.40 m/s

Final velocity of the block = 2.40 m/s east.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m

Explanation:

n = Order = 1

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

f = Frequency = 3\times 10^{18}\ Hz

\theta = Angle = 75.5^{\circ}

Lattice spacing is given by

d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{2\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{n\times c}{f2\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1\times 3\times 10^{8}}{3\times 10^{18}\times 2\times \sin75.5^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow d=5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m

The lattice spacing of the crystal is 5.1645\times 10^{-11}\ m
