A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 6.6 m/s, directed at an angle of 58 above the horizontal. The end of the ram

p is 1.2 m above the ground. Let the x axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. (a) How high above the ground is the highest point that the skateboarder reaches? (b) When the skateboarder reaches the highest point, how far is this point horizontally from the end of the ramp?

Answer:

a) Maximum height reached above ground = 2.8 m

b) When he reaches maximum height he is 2 m far from end of the ramp.

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion v²=u²+2as

   Considering vertical motion of skateboarder.  

   When he reaches maximum height,

          u = 6.6sin58 = 5.6 m/s

          a = -9.81 m/s²

          v = 0 m/s

  Substituting

         0²=5.6² + 2 x -9.81 x s

          s = 1.60 m

  Height above ground = 1.2 + 1.6 = 2.8 m

b) We have equation of motion v= u+at

   Considering vertical motion of skateboarder.  

   When he reaches maximum height,

          u = 6.6sin58 = 5.6 m/s

          a = -9.81 m/s²

          v = 0 m/s

  Substituting

         0= 5.6 - 9.81 x t

          t = 0.57s

  Now considering horizontal motion of skateboarder.  

  We have equation of motion s =ut + 0.5 at²

          u = 6.6cos58 = 3.50 m/s

          a = 0 m/s²

          t = 0.57  

  Substituting

         s =3.5 x 0.57 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.57²

         s = 2 m

  When he reaches maximum height he is 2 m far from end of the ramp.

We can approach this in another way.
We know that sin(∅) = height / hypotenuse.

Thus, for x, height is 1 and hypotenuse is 3. Using Pythagoras theorem,
3² = 1² + b²
b = √8
cos(x) = b/hypotenuse
cos(x) = √8 / 3

Now, lets consider y:
sec(y) = 1 / cos(y) = 1 / base / hypotenuse = hypotenuse / base
The hypotenuse is 25 and the base is 24. We again apply Pythagoras theorem to find the third side, which works out to be:
height = 7
sin(y) = height / hypotenuse
sin(y) = 7/25

Now, sin(x + y) =
sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)
= (1/3)(24/25) + (√8 / 3)(7/25)
= 8/25 + 7√8/75
= (24 + 14√2) / 75

A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a c
tester [92]

Answer:

a)  + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge

b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0

c) E=0

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation when a negative charge is placed inside the cavity, it repels the other negative charges, leaving the necessary positive charges to compensate for the -Q charge. The electrons that migrated to the outer part of the sphere, as it is connected to the ground, can pass to the earth and remain on the planet; therefore on the outside of the sphere the net charge remains zero.

With this analysis we can answer the specific questions

a)  + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge

b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0

c) If we create a Gaussian surface on the outside of the sphere the net charge on the inside of this sphere is zero, therefore there is no electric field, on the outside

d) If it is very reasonable and this system configuration is called a Faraday Cage

e) We cannot apply this principle to gravity since there are no particles that repel, in all cases the attractive forces.

Answer:D 780,000,000km

Explanation:

1 AU is the distance of the sun to the earth and this value is 150,000,000km

Jupiter's distance from the sun is 5.2AU and is equivalent in km is:

5.2AU × 150,000,000Km= 780,000,000km
