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".

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

There is a thing called a continental drift. It started about 200 million years ago. At first the continents were all attached, this super continent was called pangaea. Continental drift occurs because of the shift of the tectonic plates within the earth's outer shell. The heat from within the earth triggers movement to occur. This a very slow process though. It took 200 million years for the continents to get where the are now and would probably take another 200 to collide.

Write a short note on escape velocity.​
andrezito [222]

Answer:

physics, escape velocity is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from the gravitational influence of a massive body. The escape velocity from Earth is about 11.186 km/s (6.951 mi/s; 40,270 km/h; 25,020 mph)[1] at the surface. ... [2] Speeds higher than escape velocity have a positive speed at infinity.

Estimate the electric field at a point 2.40 cm perpendicular to the midpoint of a uniformly charged 2.00-m-long thin wire carryi
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction,  and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}

Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:

E = \frac{\22.475}{2\pi*( 8.85*10^{-12})*(2.4*10^{-2})}\frac{N}{C}=1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}
