Answer:

$-18.43^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Let $\theta$ be the polar angle of −3i + j. We can find it using the formula as follows :

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{1}{-3}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{-3})\\\\\theta=-18.43^{\circ}$

So, the required polar angle is $-18.43^{\circ}$ .

A 0.500-kg potato is fired at an angle of 80.0° above the horizontal from a PVC pipe used as a "potato gun" and reaches a height

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) $47.15ms^{-1}$

(b) $2470.13ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma where m is mass, a is acceleration and F is net force

Also from kinetic equation of motion, velocity and displacement are related using equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2sa$

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is displacement

From the free body diagram attached, final velocity at maximum height is 0 and initial velocity is $usin80^{o}$

Also, the vertical component can be written as

$v_{y}^{2} }=u_{y}^{2} } -2gs$ The negative sign before 2gs means displacement is opposite the gravitational force

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, $u_{y}$ is vertical component of initial velocity and $v_{y}$ is vertical component of final velocity

Since $v_{y}$ is 0

$u_{y}^{2} } =2gs$

s=110 and g is taken as 9.8

$u_{y}=\sqrt{2*9.8*110}=46.43275$

$u_{y}=46.43ms^{-1}$

Also, it's evident that the vertical component of initial velocity is $u_{y}=u_{i}sin \theta$ where $\theta$ is angle of projection and $u_{i}$ is resultant velocity

Making $u_{i}$ the subject we obtain $u_{i}=\frac {u_{y}}{sin \theta}$

Since $u_{y}$ and $\theta$ are known as $46.43ms^{-1}$ and $80^{o}$ respectively, then $u_{i}=\frac {46.43ms^{-1}}{sin 80^{o}}=47.15ms^{-1}$

Therefore, the velocity of potato is $47.15ms^{-1}$

(b)

Displacement depends on length of tube hence s=0.450m hence going back to kinetic equation $v^{2}=u^{2}+2sa$

The final velocity v is answer in part a which is $47.15ms^{-1}$ , initial velocity u is $0ms^{-1}$ hence the equation is re-written as

$v^{2}=2sa$ and making a the subject we obtain

$a=\frac {v^{2}}{2s}$

$a=\frac {47.15^{2}}{2*0.450}=2470.13ms^{-2}$

Therefore, average acceleration is $2470.13ms^{-2}$

(c)

From Newton's second law of motion, F=ma where m=0.500kg and a is $2470.13ms^{-2}$

Therefore, the average force of potato is

F=0.5*2470.13=1235.06N

F=1235.06N

The weight, W of potato is given by W=mg

Taking R as ratio of average force and weight of potato

$R=\frac {F}{W}=\frac {F}{mg}$ and since F=1235.06, m=0.500kg and g=9.8

$R=\frac {1235.06}{0.500*9.8}$ =252.05

Therefore, ratio of average force to weight is 252.05

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= $\frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}$

4.7 x 10³ rad / s
