A projectile is launched on earth at an angle θ, relative to horizontal direction. At half of its maximum height the speed of th

Answer:

the angle is about 67.79 degrees

Explanation:

We know that at its maximum height, the vertical component of the projectile's launching (initial) velocity (Vyi) is zero, so at that point it total velocity equals the horizontal component of the initial velocity (Vxi = 0.5 m/s)

We also know that the maximum height of the projectile is given by the square of its initial vertical component of the velocity (Vyi) divided by 2g, therefore half of such distance is :

half\,\,max-height = \frac{v_{yi}^2}{4\,g}

we can use this information to find the y component of the velocity at that height via the formula:

v_{yf}^2-v_{yi}^2=-2\,g\,\Delta y\\\\v_{yf}^2-v_{yi}^2=-2\,g\,(\frac{v_{yi}^2}{4\,g} )\\v_{yf}^2=v_{yi}^2-\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} \\v_{yf}^2=\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2}

Now we use the information that tells us the speed of the projectile at this height to be 1 m/s. That should be the result of the vector addition of the vertical and horizontal components:

1=\sqrt{v_{yf}^2+0.5^2} \\1=\sqrt{\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} +0.5^2}\\1^2=\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} +0.5^2}\\1-0.5^2=\frac{v_{yi}^2}{2} \\2(1-0.5^2)=v_{yi}^2\\1.5 = v_{yi}^2\\v_{yi}=\sqrt{1.5} \\

Now we can use the arc-tangent to calculate the launching angle, since we know the two initial component of the velocity vector:

tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{yi}}{v_{xi}} =\frac{\sqrt{1.5} }{0.5} \\\theta= arctan(\frac{\sqrt{1.5} }{0.5})=67.79^o

gayaneshka [121]
A gene is made of up several DNA's and these DNA's can be be responsible for many traits. There are also DNA's that contain the information on how the cells works and not on the traits of an organism. Therefore, one gene can have several DNA's that contain information about traits and another gene can have only a single DNA that contains information about a trait.

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.13 m and mass 175 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.651 rev/s. A 55.4 kg per
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .

I₁ = 1/2 mr²

= .5 x 175 x 2.13²

= 396.97 kgm²

I₂ = m r²

= 55.4 x 2.13²

= 251.34 mgm²

ω₁ = .651 rev /s

= .651 x 2π rad /s

ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc

= 3.51 / 2.13

= 1.65 rad/s

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

396.97 x  .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω

ω = 3.14 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

= 3196 J
