The maximum speed with which you can throw a stone is about 20 m/s. Can you hit a window 45 m away horizontally and 10 m up from
Allushta [10]

Answer:

 y = 17 m

Explanation:

For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

let's substitute

          45 = v₀ cos θ t

          10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero

 

           v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

Let's write our system of equations

         45 = v₀ cos θ  t

         10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

         0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.

Let's use the last two

        v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t

we substitute

        10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = 4.9 t2

        t = √ (10 / 4.9)

        t = 1,429 s

Now let's use the first equation and the last one

         45 = v₀ cos θ t

         0  = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

         9.8 t = v₀  sin θ

         45 / t = v₀ cos θ

we divide

         9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ

          tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45

          θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )

          θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)

          θ = 24º

Now we can calculate the maximum height

         v_y² = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g y

         vy = 0

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8

          y = 3,376 m

the other angle that gives the same result is

       θ‘= 90 - θ

       θ' = 90 -24

       θ'= 66'

for this angle the maximum height is

 

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8

           y = 17 m

thisis the correct

A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 21.4 m/s in the y direction when one of its onboard thruster turn
kumpel [21]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 24.177 meters per second.

b) The direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 62.266º.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. The complete description is now described below:

<em>A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 21.4 m/s in the y direction when one of its onboard thruster turns on, causing an acceleration of 0.250 m/s2 in the x direction. The acceleration lasts for 45.0 s, at which point the thruster turns off. </em>

<em>(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off</em>

<em>(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis. ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis</em>

Let be x and y-directions orthogonal to each other and the satellite is accelerated uniformly from rest in the +x direction and moves at constant velocity in the +y direction. The velocity vector of the satellite (\vec{v}_{S}), measured in meters per second, is:

\vec{v}_{S} = (v_{o,x}+a_{x}\cdot t)\,\hat{i}+v_{y}\,\hat{j}

Where:

v_{o,x} - Initial velocity in +x direction, measured in meters per second.

a_{x} - Acceleration in +x direction, measured in meter per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

v_{y} - Velocity in +y direction, measured in meters per second.

If we know that v_{o,x} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, a_{x} = 0.250\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, t = 45\,s and v_{y} = 21.4\,\frac{m}{s}, the final velocity of the satellite is:

\vec{v}_{S} = \left[0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(0.250\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (45\,s) \right]\,\hat{i}+\left(21.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\,\hat{j}

\vec{v_{S}} = 11.25\,\hat{i}+21.4\,\hat{j}\,\,\left[\frac{m}{s} \right]

a) The magnitud of the satellite's velocity can be found by the resource of the Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec {v}_{S}\| = \sqrt{\left(11.25\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(21.4\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}

\|\vec{v}_{S}\| \approx 24.177\,\frac{m}{s}

The magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 24.177 meters per second.

b) The direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is determined with the help of trigonometric functions:

\tan \alpha = \frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}} = \frac{21.4\,\frac{m}{s} }{11.25\,\frac{m}{s} }

\tan \alpha = 1.902

\alpha = \tan^{-1}1.902

\alpha \approx 62.266^{\circ}

The direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off is approximately 62.266º.

What is the single most important factor that determines why Earth (or almost any planet in the Solar System) experiences season
kirill [66]

Answer:

Planetary seasons are caused by two factors:

1. axial tilt and

2. variable distance from the sun

Explanation:

Earth's orbit is nearly circular and so has little effect on climate. It's our planet's axial tilt that causes almost all seasonal changes.
