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

kaheart [24]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Difference in Phase.

The Difference in phase is given by

\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}

Where

\delta = Horizontal distance between two points

\lambda = Wavelength

From our values we have,

\lambda = 500nm = 5*10^{-6}m

\theta = 1\°

The horizontal distance between this two points would be given for

\delta = dsin\theta

Therefore using the equation we have

\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}

\Phi = \frac{2\pi(dsin\theta)}{\lambda}

\Phi = \frac{2\pi(5*!0^{-6}sin(1))}{500*10^{-9}}

\Phi= 1.096 rad \approx = 1.1 rad

Therefore the correct answer is C.
