Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

If the same satellite orbited at the same velocity around a planet with three times the force of gravity, the orbit radius would
belka [17]

Answer:

the orbit radius would be divided by 3

Explanation:

In order to orbit the planet, the centripetal force of satellite must balance the gravitational force between planet and satellite.

centripetal Force = Gravitational Force

(Ms)(V)²/r = (G)(Ms)(Mₓ)/r²

V² = GMₓ/r

where,

V = velocity of satellite

G = Gravitational Constant

Mₓ = Mass of Planet

r = orbit radius

but, G = gr²/Mₓ

Therefore,

V² = (Mₓ/r)(gr²/Mₓ)

V = √gr   --------------------- equation (1)

where,

g = force of gravity

Now, for change in force of gravity:

V' = √g'r'  

where,

g' = 3g

V' = V

Therefore,

V = √3gr'   ---------------- equation (2)

Comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

√gr = √3gr'

gr = 3gr'

r = 3r'

r' = r/3

<u>Hence, the orbit radius would be divided by 3.</u>

A vertical spring has a spring constant of 2900 N/m. The spring is compressed 80 cm and a 8 kg spider is placed on the spring. T
Serga [27]

Answer:

a)  k_{e} = 928 J , b)U = -62.7 J , c) K = 0 , d) Y = 11.0367 m,  e)  v = 15.23 m / s  

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.

a) The elastic potential energy is

      k_{e} = ½ k x²

      k_{e} = ½ 2900 0.80²

      k_{e} = 928 J

b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy

     U = m h and

     U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)

     U = -62.7 J

c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also

      K = ½ m v²

      K = 0

d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height

     Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²

     E_{mf} = mg y

     Emo = E_{mf}

     ½ k x² = m g y

     y = ½ k x² / m g

     y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)

     y = 11.8367 m

As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is

     Y = y- 0.80

     Y = 11.8367 -0.80

     Y = 11.0367 m

Bonus

Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring

     Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J

     E_{mf}= ½ m v²

     Emo = E_{mf}

     Emo = ½ m v²

      v =√ 2Emo / m

     v = √ (2 928/8)

     v = 15.23 m / s

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>
