A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 50.0 degrees above the horizontal with a speed of 30.0 m/s. If the pro

jectile is moving over level ground, how long is it in the air before it again contacts the ground

Answer:

4.69 s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 30 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle of launch = $50^{\circ}$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Time taken by the projectile to land is given by

$t=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\times 30\times \sin50^{\circ}}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=4.69\ \text{s}$

The time the projectile is in the air before it contacts the ground again is 4.69 s.

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

The diver has least gravitational potentail engery at position

ankoles [38]

I'm not sure if a figure or some choices go along with this, but the closer to the sea floor the diver is, the lower the potential energy

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.

The three components of velocity in a velocity field are given by u = Ax + By + Cz, v = Dx + Ey + Fz, and w = Gx + Hy + Jz. Dete

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The relationship is only between the coefficients A, E and J which is:

$A + E + J = 0$ . The remaining coefficients can be anything without any constraints.

Explanation:

Given:

The three components of velocity is a velocity field are given as:

$u = Ax + By + Cz\\\\v = Dx + Ey + Fz\\\\w = Gx + Hy + Jz$

The fluid is incompressible.

We know that, for an incompressible fluid flow, the sum of the partial derivatives of each component relative to its direction is always 0. Therefore,

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0$

Now, let us find the partial derivative of each component.

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial }{\partial x}(Ax+By+Cz)\\\\\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=A+0+0=A\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y}(Dx+Ey+Fz)\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0+E+0=E\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{\partial }{\partial z}(Gx+Hy+Jz)\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0+0+J=J$

Hence, the relationship between the coefficients is:

$A+E+J=0$

There is no such constraints on other coefficients. So, we can choose any value for the remaining coefficients B, C, D, F, G and H.
