A projectile is fired into the air from the top of a 200-m cliff above a valley as shown below. Its initial velocity is 60 m/s a

anastassius [24]

a) y(max) = 337.76 m

b) t₁ = 5.30 s the time for y maximum

c)t₂ = 13.60 s time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

d) vₓ = 30 m/s vy = - 81.32 m/s

e)x = 408 m

Equations for projectile motion:

v₀ₓ = v₀ * cosα v₀ₓ = 60*(1/2) v₀ₓ = 30 m/s ( constant )

v₀y = v₀ * sinα v₀y = 60*(√3/2) v₀y = 30*√3 m/s

a) Maximum height:

The following equation describes the motion in y coordinates

y = y₀ + v₀y*t - (1/2)*g*t² (1)

To find h(max), we need to calculate t₁ ( time for h maximum)

we take derivative on both sides of the equation

dy/dt = v₀y - g*t

dy/dt = 0 v₀y - g*t₁ = 0 t₁ = v₀y/g

v₀y = 60*sin60° = 60*√3/2 = 30*√3

g = 9.8 m/s²

t₁ = 5.30 s the time for y maximum

And y maximum is obtained from the substitution of t₁ in equation (1)

y (max) = 200 + 30*√3 * (5.30) - (1/2)*9.8*(5.3)²

y (max) = 200 + 275.40 - 137.64

y(max) = 337.76 m

Total time of flying (t₂) is when coordinate y = 0

y = 0 = y₀ + v₀y*t₂ - (1/2)* g*t₂²

0 = 200 + 30*√3*t₂ - 4.9*t₂² 4.9 t₂² - 51.96*t₂ - 200 = 0

The above equation is a second-degree equation, solving for t₂

t = [51.96 ±√ (51.96)² + 4*4.9*200]/9.8

t = [51.96 ±√2700 + 3920]/9.8

t = [51.96 ± 81.36]/9.8

t = 51.96 - 81.36)/9.8 we dismiss this solution ( negative time)

t₂ = 13.60 s time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

The components of the velocity just before striking the ground are:

vₓ = v₀ *cos60° vₓ = 30 m/s as we said before v₀ₓ is constant

vy = v₀y - g *t vy = 30*√3 - 9.8 * (13.60)

vy = 51.96 - 133.28 vy = - 81.32 m/s

The sign minus means that vy change direction

Finally the horizontal distance is:

x = vₓ * t

x = 30 * 13.60 m

x = 408 m

Two fans are watching a baseball game from different positions. One fan is located directly behind home plate, 18.3 m from the b

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

0.317 s

Explanation:

distance of fan A = 18.3 m

distance of fan B = 127 m

speed of sound (s) = 343 m/s

What is the time difference between hearing the sound at the two locations?

time (T) = distance / speed

time for sound to reach fan A = 18.3 / 343 = 0.053 s

time it takes for sound to reach fan B = 127 / 343 = 0.370 s
time difference = 0.370 - 0.053 = 0.317 s

A trained eye in the dark for an extended period of time may pick up a light stimulus from a light source, at the lowest radiate

frez [133]

Answer:

#_photons = 30 photons / s

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the energy of a photon of light, let's use the Planck relation

E = h f

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

c = λ f

we substitute

E = h c /λ

E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/500 10⁻⁹

E₀ = 3.978 10⁻¹⁹ J

now let's use a direct proportion rule. If the energy of a photon is Eo, how many fornes has an energy E = 1.2 10⁻¹⁷ J in a second

#_photons = 1 photon (E / Eo)

#_photons = 1 1.2 10⁻¹⁷ /3.978 10⁻¹⁹

#_photons = 3.0 10¹

#_photons = 30 photons / s

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$PE=m*g*h$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

$m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

$PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)$

Multiply.

3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
Our answer is equal to 7.84 Joules.

$PE=7.84 \ J$
