Answer:

The

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered is known as the range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 200m/s

H is the max height = 800m

g is the gravity = 9.8m/s²

R = 200√2(800)/9.8

R = 200√1600/9.8

R = 200√163.27

R = 200(12.78)

R = 2555.54

Hence the package should be released at a distance of 2555.54m

16. A student uses 110 N of force to push a box

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

792J

Explanation:

Use the formula Force × Distance

With 110 newtons being the force and 7.2 meters being the distance

Which gives 792 and work us measured in joules therefore its joules

What is the difference between work done by the gravitational force on descending and ascending objects?

Kazeer [188]

<span>The difference between work done by the gravitational force on descending and ascending objects is that for descending objects a terminal velocity will be reached where the object will not fall any faster that it already is. For an ascending object, its velocity will come down the longer gravity has an effect on it until the object begins to descend and the velocity of an ascending object will continue to change the longer gravity has an effect on it.</span>

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B at a speed of 2.30 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 2.50 10

Katen [24]

Answer:

B = 6.18 10⁻⁶ T

the magnetic field is in the negative direction of the y axis

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by

F = q v x B

as in the exercise indicate that the velocities perpendicular to the magnetic field,

F = q v B

Newton's second law is

F = m a

let's substitute

q v B = m a

B = m a / q v

let's calculate

B = 9.1 10⁻³¹ 2.50 10¹³ / (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.30 10⁷)

B = 6.18 10⁻⁶ T

The direction of the field can be obtained with the right hand rule, where the thumb points in the direction of the velocity, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field and the palm in the direction of the force for a positive charge.

In the exercise indicate that the velocity is the z axis

the acceleration and therefore the force in the x axis

therefore the magnetic field is in the negative direction of the y axis

The tape in a videotape cassette has a total

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

$w=19.76 \ rad/s$

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion </u>

Suppose there is an object describing a circle of radius r around a fixed point. If the relation between the angle of rotation by the time taken is constant, then the angular speed is also constant. If that relation increases or decreases at a constant rate, the angular speed is given by:

$w=w_o+\alpha \ t$

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration and t is the time. If the object was instantly released from the circular path, it would have a tangent speed of:

$\displaystyle v_t=w.r$

We have two reels: one loaded with the tape to play and the other one empty and starting to fill with tape. They both rotate at different angular speeds, one is increasing and the other is decreasing as the tape goes from one to the other. We'll assume the tangent speed is constant for both (so the tape can play correctly). Let's call $w_1$ the angular speed of the loaded reel and $w_2$ that from the empty reel. We have

$w_1=w_{o1}+\alpha_1 \ t$

$w_2=w_{o2}+\alpha_2 \ t$

If $r_f=35\ mm=0.035\ m$ is the radius of the reel when it's full of tape, the angular speed for the loaded reel is computed by

$\displaystyle w_{01}=\frac{v_t}{r_f}$

The tangent speed is computed by knowing the length of the tape and the time needed to fully play it.

$t=1.8\ h=1.8*3600=6480\ sec$

$\displaystyle v_t=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{249\ m}{6480\ sec}=0.0384 \ m/s$

$\displaystyle w_{01}=\frac{0.0384}{0.035}=1,098 \ rad/s$

If $r_e=10\ mm=0.001\ m$ is the radius of the reel when it's empty, the angular speed for the empty reel is computed by

$\displaystyle w_{02}=\frac{0.0384}{0.001}=38.426 \ rad/s$

The full reel goes from $w_{01}$ to $w_{02}$ in 6480 seconds, so we can compute the angular acceleration:

$\displaystyle \alpha_1=\frac{w_{02}-w_{01}}{6480}$

$\displaystyle \alpha_1=\frac{38.426-1.098}{6480}=0.00576 \ rad/sec^2$

The empty reel goes from $w_{02}$ to $w_{01}$ in 6480 seconds, so we can compute the angular acceleration:

$\displaystyle \alpha_2=\frac{1.098-38.426}{6480}=-0.00576 \ rad/sec^2$

So the equations for both reels are

$w_1=1.098+0.00576 \ t$

$w_2=38.426-0.00576 \ t$

They will be the same when

$1.098+0.00576 \ t=38.426-0.00576 \ t$

Solving for t

$\displaystyle t=\frac{38.426-1.098}{0.0115}$

$t=3240 \ sec$

The common angular speed is

$w_1=1.098+0.00576 \ 3240=19.76 \ rad/s$

$w_2=38.426-0.00576 \ 3240=19.76 \ rad/s$

They both result in the same, as expected

$\boxed{w=19.76 \ rad/s}$
