Answer:

a) The initial speed of the projectile is approximately 42.410 meters per second.

b) The speed of the projectile after 4 seconds is approximately 21.352 meters per second.

c) The horizontal range of the projectile is 169.64 meters.

d) The maximum height of the projectile is 68.775 meters.

e) The speed of the projectile when it landed on the ground is approximately 46.807 meters per second.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the projects shows a parabolic motion, which consists in the combination of horizontal uniform motion and vertical uniformly accelerated motion due to gravity. This motion is represented by the following equations of motion:

x = x_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t\cdot  \cos \theta (1)

y = y_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t\cdot \sin \theta + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} (2)

Where:

x_{o}, x - Initial and current horizontal position, measured in meters.

y_{o}, y - Initial and current vertical position, measured in meters.

\theta - Launch angle, measured in sexagesimal angle.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in second.

a) By using (2) and knowing that y_{o} = 20\,m, y = 0\,m, t = 8\,s, \theta = 60^{\circ} and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then initial speed of the projectile is:

v_{o}\cdot t \cdot \sin \theta = y-y_{o}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}

v_{o} = \frac{y-y_{o}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} }{t\cdot \sin \theta}

v_{o} = \frac{0\,m-20\,m-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (8\,s)^{2} }{(8\,s)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}}

v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}

The initial speed of the projectile is approximately 42.410 meters per second.

b) The vertical component of the velocity of the projectile is determine by differentiating (2) in time and substitute all known values:

v_{y} = v_{o}\cdot \sin \theta +g\cdot t (3)

(v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}, \theta = 60^{\circ}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and t = 4\,s)

v_{y} = -2.5\,\frac{m}{s}

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is:

v_{x} = v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta

v_{x} = 21.205\,\frac{m}{s}

And the speed of the projectile is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v = \sqrt{\left(21.205\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-2.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}

v \approx 21.352\,\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the projectile after 4 seconds is approximately 21.352 meters per second.

c) By (1) we find the horizontal range of the projectile:

(x_{o} = 0\,m, v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}, \theta = 60^{\circ}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and t = 8\,s)

x = 0\,m + \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (8\,s)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}

x = 169.64\,m

The horizontal range of the projectile is 169.64 meters.

d) The projectile reaches its maximum height when velocity is zero. By (3) and knowing that v_{y} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s} and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the time associated with maximum height is:

0\,\frac{m}{s} = \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s}\right)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot t

t = 3.745\,s

And by (2) and knowing that y_{o} = 20\,m, v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 3.745\,s, \theta = 60^{\circ} and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the maximum height reached by the projectile is:

y = 20\,m + \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3.745\,s)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (3.745\,s)^{2}

y = 68.775\,m

The maximum height of the projectile is 68.775 meters.

e) If we know that y_{o} = 20\,m, v_{o} \approx 42.410\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 8\,s, \theta = 60^{\circ} and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, the components of the speed are, respectively:

v_{y} = \left(42.410\,\frac{m}{s}\right)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (8\,s)

v_{y} = -41.728\,\frac{m}{s}

v_{x} = v_{o}\cdot \cos \theta

v_{x} = 21.205\,\frac{m}{s}

And the speed of the projectile is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

v = \sqrt{\left(21.205\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+\left(-41.728\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}

v \approx 46.807\,\frac{m}{s}

The speed of the projectile when it landed on the ground is approximately 46.807 meters per second.

1.- Se desea elevar un cuerpo de 1500kg utilizando una elevadora hidráulica de plato grande
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

181.48 N

Explanation:

Calculate the area :

Area = pi * r² ;

pi = 3.14 ; r1 = 90cm /100 = 0.9m ; r2 = 10/100 = 0.1m

Area 1, A1 = 3.14 * 0.1² = 0.0314 m²

Area 2, A2 = 3.14 * 0.9² = 2.5434 m²

Force, F = mass * acceleration due to gravity

F2 = 1500 * 9.8 = 14700 N

Force 1 / Area 1 = Force 2 / Area 2

Force 1 = (Force 2 / Area 2), * Area 1

Force 1 = (14700 / 2.5434) * 0.0314

Force = 5779.6650 * 0.0314

= 181.48 N

What would be the weight of the moon if it were resting on the surface of the earth
kari74 [83]
We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers. 
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).

Earth's radius . . . . .  6,360 km  =  6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . .  1,738 km  =  1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii  =                      8.098 x 10⁶ meters

Also:
Earth's mass . . . . .  5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . .  7.348 x 10²²  kg
<span>
and now we're ready to go !

       Gravitational force = 

                   G  M₁ M₂ / R²

= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(</span><span>5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²²  kg)/</span>(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²

= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³)      Newtons

=    (I get ...)        4.463 x 10²³ Newtons

That's almost exactly   10²³ pounds 

                           =  50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.     

Those are big numbers. 
All I can say is:  I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time (when they are not slee
user100 [1]

Answer:

I₁ = (7.78 i ^ - 6.71 j ^) 10⁻³ J s ,  I₂ = (-12.5 i ^ -14.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s ,  I₃ = (19.1i ^ + 18.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s  and I₄ = (-9.14i ^ + 7.24 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the variation of the moment, to apply this relationship to our case, we will assume that initially the mouse was at rest

    I = Δp = m v_{f} -m v₀

    I = m (v_{f}  -v₀)

Bold indicates vector quantities, let's calculate the momentum of each mouse in for the x and y axes

We recommend bringing all units to the SI system

Mouse 1.

It has a mass of 22.3 g = 22.3 10⁻³ kg, a final velocity of (v = 0.349 i ^ - 0.301 j ^) m / s with an initial velocity of zero

    Iₓ = m (v_{fx}  - v₀ₓ)

    Iₓ = 22.3 10⁻³ (0.349 -0)

    Iₓ = 7.78 10⁻³ J s

   I_{y} = m (v_{fy}  -v_{oy} )

   I_{y} = 22.3 10⁻³ (-0.301)

   I_{y} = -6.71 10⁻³ J s

   I₁ = (7.78 i ^ - 6.71 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 2

Mass 17.9 g = 17.9 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(-0.699 i ^ - 0.815 j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = m (v_{fx}  - v₀ₓ)

    Iₓ = 17.9 10⁻³ (-0.699 -0)

    Iₓ = -12.5 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 17.9 10⁻³ (-0.815 - 0)

    I_{y} = -14.6 10⁻³ J s

   I₂ = (-12.5 i ^ -14.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 3

Mass 19.1 g = 19.1 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(0.745i ^ + 0.975 j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = 19.1 10⁻³ (0.745 -0)

    Iₓ = 14.2 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 19.1 10⁻³(0.975 -0)

    I_{y} = 18.6 10⁻³ J s

    I₃ = (19.1i ^ + 18.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 4

Mass 10.1 g = 10.1 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(-0.905i ^ + 0.717j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = 10.1 10⁻³ (-0.905 -0)

    Iₓ = -9.14 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 10.1 10⁻³ (0.717 -0)

    I_{y} = 7.24 10⁻³ J s

   I₄ = (-9.14i ^ + 7.24 j ^) 10⁻³ J s
