Projectile motion is when an object moves in a bilaterally symmetrical, parabolic path.

The path that the object follows is called its trajectory.

Projectile motion only occurs when there is one force applied at the beginning, after which the only influence on the trajectory is that of gravity

If an object is given an initial velocity in any direction and then allowed to travel freely under gravity only, it is called a projectile motion.

It is basically 3 types

horizontally projectile motion
oblique projectile motion
included plane projectile motion

The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory.

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2

qaws [65]

Answer:

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}$

now we know that

$m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

$KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

now we have

$6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}$

now we have

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. at the point where the plane is f

konstantin123 [22]

A) When the plane is flying straight down, there are three forces acting on it:
- the centripetal force $F=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ , directed toward the center of the circle (so, horizontally)
- the weight of the plane: $W=mg$ , downward, so vertically
- a third force, given by the propulsion of the plane, which is accelerating it towards the ground (because the problem says that the plane has an acceleration of a=12 m/s^2 towards the ground)

The radius of the circle is $r= \frac{260 m}{2} = 130 m$ , so the centripetal force acting on the plane is
$F_c=m \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{(85000 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{130 m}=1.98 \cdot 10^6 N$
On the vertical axis, we have two forces: the weight
$W=mg=(85000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=8.34 \cdot 10^5 N$
and the other force F given by the propulsion. Since we know that their sum should generate an acceleration equal to $a=12 m/s^2$ , we can find the magnitude of this other force F by using Newton's second law:
$F+mg=ma$
$F=m(a-g)=(85000kg)(12 m/s^2-9.81 m/s^2)=1.86 \cdot 10^5 N$

So, the net force acting on the plane will be the resultant of the centripetal force (acting in the horizontal direction) and the two forces W and F (acting in the vertical direction):
$R= \sqrt{(F_c^2+(W+F)^2}=$
$= \sqrt{(1.98\cdot 10^6N)^2+(8.34 \cdot 10^5N+1.86 \cdot 10^5 N)^2} =2.23 \cdot 10^6 N$

(b) The tangent of the angle with respect to the horizontal is the ratio between the sum of the forces in the vertical direction (taken with negative sign, since they are directed downward) and the forces acting in the horizontal direction, so:
$\tan \theta = \frac{-(W+F)}{F_c}= -0.5$
And so, the angle is
$\theta = \arctan (-0.5)=-26.8 ^{\circ}$
