A ball is launched from ground level at 20 m/s at an angle of 40° above the

Physics

DedPeter [7]3 years ago

(a) The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>y</em> = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

0 = <em>t</em> ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> )

<em>t</em> = 0   or   (20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 <em>g t</em> = 0

The first time refers to where the ball is initially launched, so we omit that solution.

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 <em>g t</em>

<em>t</em> = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / <em>g</em>

<em>t</em> ≈ 2.6 s

(b) At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity. In the vertical direction, the ball is in free fall and only subject to the downward acceleration <em>g</em>. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-<em>g</em>) <em>y</em>

where <em>y</em> in this equation refers to the maximum height of the ball. Solve for <em>y</em> :

<em>y</em> = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2<em>g</em>)

<em>y</em> ≈ 8.4 m

1. A perspex box has a 10 cm square base and contains water to a height of 10 cm. A piece of rock of mass 600g is lowered into t
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(a) The volume of water is 100 cm³

(b) The volume of the rock is 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock is 30 g/cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters of the perspex box are;

The area of the base of the box, A = 10 cm²

The initial level of water in the box, h₁ = 10 cm

The mass of the rock placed in the box, m = 600 g

The final level of water in the box, h₂ = 12 cm

(a) The volume of water in the box, 'V', is given as follows;

V = A × h₁

∴ The volume of water in the box, V = 10 cm² × 10 cm = 100 cm³

The volume of water in the box, V = 100 cm³

(b) When the rock is placed in the box the total volume, V_T, is given by the sum of the rock, V_r, and the  water, V, is given as follows;

V_T = V_r + V

V_T = A × h₂

∴ V_T = 10 cm² × 12 cm = 120 cm³

The total volume, V_T = 120 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = V_T - V

∴ V_r = 120 cm³ - 100 cm³ = 20 cm³

The volume of the rock, V_r = 20 cm³

(c) The density of the rock, ρ = (Mass of the rock, m)/(The volume of the rock)

∴ The density of the rock, ρ = 600 g/(20 cm³) = 30 g/cm³

During the final stages of descent, asky diver with an
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Gravity: downwards

Air drag and air-pressure on the inner surface of the the parachute: Upwards

Explanation:

  • If a sky-diver is in the final stages of his descend with open parachute such that the wind is calm and it does not blows him laterally.
  • In such a condition the air resistance in the form of drag and the pressure force due to the air captured in the parachute are acting in the upward direction which balance the force of gravity on the body. But this situation may occur momentarily and then again the diver must begin to slowly descend.
