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}

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

(a) B = 2.85 × 10^{-6} Tesla

(b) I =  I = 0.285 A

Explanation:

a. The strength of magnetic field, B, in a solenoid is determined by;

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

⇒ B = \frac{mv}{qr}

Where: r is the radius, m is the mass of the electron, v is its velocity, q is the charge on the electron and B is the magnetic field

B = \frac{9.11*10^{-31*1.0*10^{4} } }{1.6*10^{-19}*0.02 }

  = \frac{9.11*10^{-27} }{3.2*10^{-21} }

B = 2.85 × 10^{-6} Tesla

b. Given that; N/L = 25 turns per centimetre, then the current, I, can be determined by;

B = μ I N/L

⇒    I = B ÷ μN/L

where B is the magnetic field,  μ is the permeability of free space = 4.0 ×10^{-7}Tm/A, N/L is the number of turns per length.

I = B ÷ μN/L

 = \frac{2.85*10^{-6} }{4*10^{-7} *25}

I = 0.285 A

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}

Employing f2/ f1, we have

f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}
