A projectile is launched with an initial velocity 60m/s at an angle 60° to the vertical. What the magnitude of it's displacement

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the magnitude of the displacement after 5s is 137.31 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the projectile, u = 60 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 60°

time of motion, t = 5s

the vertical component of the velocity, $u_y= u\ sin \theta = 60sin(60^0)$

The magnitude of the displacement after 5s is calculated as;

$h = u_yt -\frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 60sin (60^0)\times 5 - \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(5)^2\\\\h = 259.81-122.5\\\\h = 137.31 \ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of the displacement after 5s is 137.31 m.

a body weights 28N at a height of 3200km from the earth surface.What will be the gravitational force on that body if its lies on

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The object would weight 63 N on the Earth surface

Explanation:

We can use the general expression for the gravitational force between two objects to solve this problem, considering that in both cases, the mass of the Earth is the same. Notice as well that we know the gravitational force (weight) of the object at 3200 km from the Earth surface, which is (3200 + 6400 = 9600 km) from the center of the Earth:

$F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\28\,\,N=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{9600000^2}$

Now, if the body is on the surface of the Earth, its weight (w) would be:

$F_G=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{d^2} \\w=G\,\frac{M_E\,m}{6400000^2}$

Now we can divide term by term the two equations above, to cancel out common factors and end up with a simple proportion:

$\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9600000^2}{6400000^2} \\\frac{w}{28} =\frac{9}{4} \\\\ \\w=\frac{9\,*\,28}{4}\,\,\,N\\w=63\,\,N \\$

What is the distance between lines on a diffraction grating that produces a second-order maximum for 760-nm red light at an angl

Nataly [62]

The condition for maximum intensity is the same as that for a double slit. However, angular separation of the maxima is generally much greater because the slit spacing is so small for a diffraction grating. For a diffraction grating with lines/mm = lines/inch, the slit separation is d = micrometers = x10^ m.
