When solving projectiles you will often get two possible times for solutions. Sometimes a time will be negative and can be rejec

ted. Other times both times will be positive and therefore possible. Explain why both times above make sense in the context of the given information used. Which time will you ultimately choose and why?
Context is attached below.

Answer:

The reason why times, 0.23 s, and 1.80 s makes sense is that a projectile passes through a given height level, which is lesser than the maximum height reached by the projectile, twice in its trajectory

Explanation:

The formula for the time of motion of a projectile is given as follows;

t = \dfrac{-V_{oy} \pm \sqrt{V_{oy} ^2 - 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y} }{-g}

Therefore, when V_{oy} ^2 = 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y}, we have only one time value

When V_{oy} ^2 > 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y}, two time values can be obtained and both will be positive when we have;

V_{oy} > \sqrt{V_{oy} ^2 - 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y} }

When V_{oy} < \sqrt{V_{oy} ^2 - 2 \cdot g \cdot  \Delta y} }, one of the time values will be negative and can be rejected

Therefore, given that the times obtained above are 1.80 s, and 0.23 s, and both make sense due to the following reason;

In the path of the projectile motion of the basketball, there are two points in time at which the height of the basketball above the starting point is exactly 2 meters, given that the maximum height reached is more than 2 meters

The first time the basketball is 2 meters above the point it is shot is lesser of the two calculated time values, which is during the upward motion of the basketball before it reaches the maximum height, while the second time is, which is the larger calculated time, is the time that the basketball reaches the hoop, after flying past the highest point

A cyclist is riding a bicycle at a speed of 22 mph on a horizontal road. The distance between the axles is 42 in., and the mass
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The shortest distance is  S = 24.86 ft

Explanation:

The free body diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the bicycle is v_b = 22\ mph = 22 * \frac{5280}{3600}   =  32.26 ft/s

     The distance between the axial is  d = 42 \ in

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is m_c = 26 \ in  behind the front axle

The mass center of the cyclist and the bicycle is m_h = 40 \ in above the ground

   For the bicycle not to be thrown over the

     Momentum about the back wheel must be zero so

                \sum _B = 0

=>             mg (26) = ma(40)

=>             a = \frac{26}{40} g

Here  g = 32.2 ft/s^2

     So     a =  \frac{26}{40} (32.2)

             a =  20.93 ft/s^2

Apply the equation of motion to this motion we have

       v^2 = u^2 + 2as

 Where  u = 32.26 ft /s

             and v = 0 since the bicycle is coming to a stop

        v^2 = (32.26)^2 - 2(20.93) S

=>      S = 24.86 ft

The inductance of a closely packed coil of 560 turns is 8.9 mH. Calculate the magnetic flux through the coil when the current is
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

0.11\times 10^{-6}weber

Explanation:

We have given number of turns N = 560

Inductance L = 8.9 mH

Current through the coil = 7 mA

Inductance of the coil is given as L=\frac{N\Phi }{I}

Where N  is number of turns I is current and \Phi is flux

So \Phi =\frac{LI}{N}=\frac{8.9\times 10^{-3}\times 7\times 10^{-3}}{560}=0.11\times 10^{-6}weber
