Answer:

a) The maximum height reached by the projectile is 558 m.

b) The projectile was 21.3 s in the air.

Explanation:

The position and velocity of the projectile at any time "t" is given by the following vectors:

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

v = (v0 · cos α, v0 · sin α + g · t)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t"

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.80 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity vector at time t

a) Notice in the figure that at maximum height the velocity vector is horizontal. That means that the y-component of the velocity (vy) at that time is 0. Using this, we can find the time at which the projectile is at maximum height:

vy = v0 · sin α + g · t

0 = 175 m/s · sin 36.7° - 9.80 m/s² · t

-  175 m/s · sin 36.7° /  - 9.80 m/s² = t

t = 10.7 s

Now, we have to find the magnitude of the y-component of the vector position at that time to obtain the maximum height (In the figure, the vector position at t = 10.7 s is r1 and its y-component is r1y).

Notice in the figure that the frame of reference is located at the launching point, so that y0 = 0.

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

y = 175 m/s · 10.7 s · sin 36.7° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (10.7 s)²

y = 558 m

The maximum height reached by the projectile is 558 m

b) Since the motion of the projectile is parabolic and the acceleration is the same during all the trajectory, the time of flight will be twice the time it takes the projectile to reach the maximum height. Then, the time of flight of the projectile will be (2 · 10.7 s) 21.4 s. However, let´s calculate it using the equation for the position of the projectile.

We know that at final time the y-component of the vector position (r final in the figure) is 0 (because the vector is horizontal, see figure). Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 175 m/s · t · sin 36.7° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = t (175 m/s ·  sin 36.7 - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t)

0 = 175 m/s ·  sin 36.7 - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t

-  175 m/s ·  sin 36.7 / -(1/2 · 9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 21.3 s

The projectile was 21.3 s in the air.

Transverse waves are sent along a 4.50 m long string with a speed of 85.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 20.00 N. What i
frutty [35]

Answer:

m = 0.0125 kg

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula for the speed of a wave on a string that is under tension:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu} }

where F = tension force

μ = mass per unit length

Mass per unit length is given as:

μ  = m / l

where m = mass of the string

l = length of the string

This implies that:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/l} }\\ \\v = \sqrt{\frac{F * l}{m} }

Let us make mass, m, the subject of the formula:

v^2 = \frac{F * l}{m}\\\\m = \frac{F * l}{v^2}

From the question:

F = 20 N

l = 4.50 m

v = 85 m/s

Therefore:

m = \frac{20 * 4.5}{85^2}\\\\m = \frac{90}{7225}\\ \\m = 0.0125 kg

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

she must increase the current by factor of 7

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a steady current flowing in a very long straight wire encircles the wire.In order to solve the question, we use this formula,

B= μo I/(2πr)

where,

'μo'  represents permeability of free space i.e 4π*10-7 N/A2

B=magnetic field

I= current

r=radius

->When r= 1cm=> 0.01m

B1 = μo I_{1/(2π x 0.01)

->when r=7cm =>0.07m

B2 = μo I_{2}/(2π x 0.07)

Now equating both of the magnetic fields, we have

B1= B2

μo I_{1/(2π x 0.01)= μo I_{2}/(2π x 0.07)

I_{1/  I_{2}= 0.01/0.07

I_{1/  I_{2}= 1/ 7

Therefore, she must increase the current by factor of 7

Ratling [72]

Answer:

<u>CHEMICAL CHANGE</u>:

A change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances is a  <em>chemical change</em>.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances.

<u>EXAMPLE:</u>

<em>Examples of Chemical Change in Everyday Life </em>

Burning of paper and log of wood.

Digestion of food.

Boiling an egg.

Chemical battery usage.

Electroplating a metal.

Baking a cake.

Milk going sour.

Various metabolic reactions that take place in the cells.
