(a) The ball's height y at time t is given by

y = (20 m/s) sin(40º) t - 1/2 g t ²

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

0 = (20 m/s) sin(40º) t - 1/2 g t ²

0 = t ((20 m/s) sin(40º) - 1/2 g t )

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

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

(20 m/s) sin(40º) = 1/2 g t

t = (40 m/s) sin(40º) / g

t ≈ 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 g. So

0² - ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² = 2 (-g) y

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

y = ((20 m/s) sin(40º))² / (2g)

y ≈ 8.4 m

A satellite is to be launched into an orbit of radius,r Show that v = 2gr, where V is the

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

We start by using the conservation law of energy:

$\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - G\dfrac{mM}{r} = 0$

Simplifying the above equation, we get

$v^2 = 2G\dfrac{M}{r}$

We can rewrite this as

$v^2 = 2\left(G\dfrac{M}{r^2}\right)r$

Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity $g$ so we can write

$v^2 = 2gr$

where $v$ is the launch velocity.

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou

kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite ( $1.50x10^{7} m$ ) and the Earth radius ( $6.38x10^{6} m$ ) :

$r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m$

$r = 21.38x10^{6}m$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs}$ ⇒ $31140 s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}$

$v = 4313 m/s$

Finally equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}$

$a = 0.87 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

How much heat is evolved when 1234 g of water condenses to a liquid at 100.°c?

lbvjy [14]

During the phase transition vapour --> liquid water, the temperature of the water does not change; the molecules of water release heat and the amounf of heat released is equal to
$Q=mL_e$
where
m is the mass of the water
$L_e$ is the latent heat of evaporation.

For water, the latent heat of evaporation is $L=2257 kJ/kg$ , while the mass of the water is
$m=1234 g=1.234 kg$

so, the amount of heat released in the process is
$Q=mL_e = (1.234 kg)(2257 kJ/kg)=2785 kJ$
