When chasing a hare along a flat stretch of ground, a greyhound leaps into the air at a speed of 10.1 m/s, at an angle of 16.9°

above the horizontal. (a) What is the range of his leap? (b) For how much time is he in the air?

Answer:

a) The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s

Explanation:

The position of the greyhound is given by the position vector "r":

r =(x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time "t".

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time.

α = leap angle.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

a) At the end of the leap, the position vector will be "r final" (see figure). The vector r final could be written as:

r final = (x, 0 m)

Where "x" is the range.

Then, using the equation for the vertical position we can obtain the time of flight of the leap. With that time, we can calculate the range using the equation for the horizontal position.

Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · t · sin 16.9° - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 m = t (10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t)

0 m = 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° - 4.9  m/s² · t

- 10.1 m/s · sin 16.9° / - 4.9  m/s²  = t

t = 0.600 s

The x-component of the vector "r final" will be:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

x = 0 m + 10.1 m/s · 0.600 s · cos 16.9°

x = 5.80 m

The range of the leap is 5.80 m.

b) The time that the greyhound is in the air is 0.600 s. It was calculated above using the equation for the y-component of the vector "r final".

Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).

Someone please help with these 2
Ann [662]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula that you are working with is F = m*a

Since mass is one part of the formula if you increase the mass, you are going to increase the force.

The second one is much more difficult to answer because it is basically incomplete. This is one way to interpret it. If you start at a certain speed and increase during a known time period then effectively you are defining acceleration which is "a" in the formula.

Without those modifications, there is no answer.

The acceleration due to the earth's gravity, in si units, is 9.8 m/s2. in the absence of air friction, a ball is dropped from re
gogolik [260]
We don't know anything about the amount of distance it travels, but that's okay. The only equation we need here is 

velocity(final) = velocity(initial) + acceleration * time
vf = vi + (a * t)

The ball is dropped from rest, so vi = 0 m/s.
We want it so that the ball hits the ground with a final velocity of 60 m/s, so vf = 60 m/s. 
We are given the acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s^2.
We are solving for the time, t = ?.

Now we just plug in the values.
vf = vi + (a * t)
60 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s^2)*(t)

60 = 9.8t

60 / 9.8 = t

t = 6.122 s

Hopefully this is the right answer.

At what distance from a 27 mw point source of electromagnetic waves is the electric field amplitude 0. 060 v/m ?
n200080 [17]

The distance from a 27 mw point source of electromagnetic waves where the electric field amplitude 0. 060 v/m will be 21.21 m .

Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

The highest point of a wave is known as 'crest' , whereas the lowest point is known as 'trough'. Electromagnetic waves can be split into a range of frequencies. This is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.

c = 3 * 10^{8} m/s

∈ = 8.85 * 10^{- 12} C^{2} / N/ m^{2}

E = 0. 060 v/m

I = P / 4πr^{2}

Also , I = c ∈ E^{2} /2

r^{2} = P / 4π I                                 equation 1

substituting the value of I in equation 1

r^{2} = 2 P / 4π (c ∈ E^{2} )

r^{2} = 2 * 27 * 10^{-3} / 4 * 3.14 * 3 * 10^{8} * 8.85 * 10^{- 12}  * (0.06)^{2}

r = 21.21 m
