A projectile is launched from ground level at angle u and speed v0 into a headwind that causes a constant horizontal acceleratio

n of magnitude a opposite the direction of motion. a. Find an expression in terms of a and g for the launch angle that gives maximum range. b. What is the angle for maximum range if a is 10% of g?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Launch angle =u

Initial Speed is v_0

Horizontal acceleration is a_x=a

At maximum height velocity is zero therefore

v_f=v_i-gt

0=v_0\sin u-gt

t=\frac{v_0\sin u}{g}

Total time of flight T=2t=\frac{2v_0\sin u}{g}

During this time horizontal range is

R=v_o\cos u\cdot 2t-\frac{a(2t)^2}{2}

R=\frac{2v_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g}-\frac{2av_0^2\sin ^u}{g^2}

For maximum range \frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=0

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2\cos 2u}{g}-\frac{4av_0^2\sin u\cos u}{g^2}

\frac{\mathrm{d} R}{\mathrm{d} u}=\frac{2v_0^2}{g}\left [ \cos 2u-\frac{a}{g}\sin 2u\right ]=0

\tan 2u=\frac{g}{a}

u=\frac{1}{2}tan ^{-1}\frac{g}{a}

(b)If a =10% g

a=0.1g

thus u=\frac{1}{2}tan^{-1}\frac{g}{0.1g}

u=42.14^{\circ}

To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever divide the input arm by the output arm. 
Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine can multiply an input force, calculated by dividing output Force in newtons by input force in newtons, while the ideal mechanical advantage is the mechanical advantage of a machine that has no friction, calculated by dividing the input distance by the output distance.

How remove local action and polarization ​
slava [35]

Answer:

Local action is removed by amalgamating zinc rod.

Explanation:

This prevents chemical reaction to occur because impurities in the zinc cannot get into contact with an electrolyte.

torisob [31]

The temperature of an air parcel and the kinetic energy of an air parcel are directly related. this means that as the temperature of the air parcel increases, the kinetic energy increases.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the measure of degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Temperature is also the measure of the average kinetic energy of a system.

When the heat is applied to body, its temperature increases as the body gains heat.

Thus, the temperature of an air parcel and the kinetic energy of an air parcel are directly related. this means that as the temperature of the air parcel increases, the kinetic energy increases.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: for insulation of heat

Explanation:

Windows in cold countries have double glazing windows to provide a barrier against the outside temperature by creating a buffer zone between two glasses.

The air or any other gas-filled between the glasses act as an insulator and offer great resistance to outside temperature thereby maintaining the inside temperature intact.
