A student sits atop a platform a distance h above the ground. He throws a large firecracker horizontally with a speed. However,

a wind blowing parallel to the ground gives the firecracker a constant horizontal acceleration with magnitude a. As a result, the firecracker reaches the ground directly below the student. Determine the height h in terms of v, a, and g. Ignore the effect of air resistance on the vertical motion.

Answer:

The height h, in terms of v, a, and g is h = 2·g·(\frac{v}{a} )^2

Explanation:

To find the solution, we list out the variables and their relationships

Height from which fire cracker is thrown = h

Speed with which fire cracker is thrown = v

Acceleration of wind in opposite direction of v = a

We have horizontal motion of the firecracker given by

S = v·t + 0.5·a·t² since a is in opposite direction to v, we have

S = v·t - 0.5·a·t² also since the firecracker comes to rest at the ground directly below the student we have displacement S = 0

Therefore S = v·t - 0.5·a·t² ⇒ 0 = v·t - 0.5·a·t², so that  0.5·a·t² = v·t or t = \frac{v}{0.5*a}

= \frac{2v}{a}

For the vertical motion, we have by Newton's law of motion

h = u·t + \frac{1}{2}·g·t² however, u = 0

∴ h =  \frac{1}{2}·g·t² and substituting the value for t from the horizontal motion calculation solution, we have

h =  \frac{1}{2}·g·(\frac{2v}{a})^2 = where g = 9.81 m/s², we have h = 19.62 (\frac{v}{a} )^2 in terms of g we have h = 2·g·(\frac{v}{a} )^2

If you wanted to increase your muscular endurance, it would be important to participate in activities that __________.
Maurinko [17]
In order to increase muscular endurance, it is important to take part in activities that increase the size of muscle cells and the amount of blood that is delivered to the cells<span>. The increased size of the muscle cells reuires them to contract less to accomplish the same task; moreover, the increased blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the blood.</span>

A purse at radius 2.10 m and a wallet at radius 3.15 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the
vlada-n [284]

Complete question is:

A purse at radius 2.10 m and a wallet at radius 3.15 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the ride turns. They are on the same radial line. At one instant, the acceleration of the purse is 1.7 m/s^2 \hat i+3.20m/s^2 \hat j . At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of the wallet?

Answer:

a'= 2.55 m/s^2\hat i + 4.8 m/s^2 \hat j    

Explanation:

Given: Purse is at radius, R=2.10 m

Wallet is at radius, R'=3.15 m

acceleration of the purse, a = 1.7 m/s^2 \hat i+3.20m/s^2 \hat j

a=r\omega^2

Both the purse and wallet would have same angular velocity \omega.

\sqrt \frac{a}{R}=\sqrt \frac{a'}{R'}

a'=\frac{a}{R}\times R \\ \Rightarrow a' = \frac{1.7 m/s^2 \hat i+3.20m/s^2 \hat j}{2.10 m}\times 3.15 m \\ a'= 2.55 m/s^2\hat i + 4.8 m/s^2 \hat j
