Answer:
a).
b).
Explanation:
For the block that stays on the track, its maximal height is attained when all of the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy
a).
The height for the block on the longer track can by find using this equation:
Cancel the mass as a factor in each element in the equation
b).
The other lost some kinetic energy so, use a projectile motion to determine the total height for the other bock:
Solve to v'
Answer:
sin 2θ = 1 θ=45
Explanation:
They ask us to prove that the optimal launch angle is 45º, for this by reviewing the parabolic launch equations we have the scope equation
R = Vo² sin 2θ / g
Where R is the horizontal range, Vo is the initial velocity, g the acceleration of gravity and θ the launch angle. From this equation we see that the sine function is maximum 2θ = 90 since sin 90 = 1 which implies that θ = 45º; This proves that this is the optimum angle to have the maximum range.
We calculate the distance traveled for different angle
R = vo² Sin (2 15) /9.8
R = Vo² 0.051 m
In the table are all values in two ways
Angle (θ) distance R (x)
0 0 0
15 0.051 Vo² 0.5 Vo²/g
30 0.088 vo² 0.866 Vo²/g
45 0.102 Vo² 1 Vo²/g
60 0.088 Vo² 0.866 Vo²/g
75 0.051 vo² 0.5 Vo²/g
90 0 0
See graphic ( R Vs θ) in the attached ¡, it can be done with any program, for example EXCEL
