Answer:

Hence the weight of the person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

Explanation:

from the question,

W = mg........................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the man on Earth, m = mass of the man, g = acceleartion due to gravity of the man

make m the subject of the equation

m = W/g.............. Equation 2

Given: W = 1000 N,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Therefore,

m = 1000/10

m = 100 kg

Weight on the moon

W' = mg'

W' = 100(1.624)

W' = 162.4 N.

Hence the weight of tthe person on the moon is 162.4, and the value of g used is 1.624 m/s²

A projectile is fired at time t= 0.0 s from point 0 at the edge of a cliff, with initial velocity components of Vox = 30 m/s and

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

At t = 15.0 s the magnitude of the velocity is 58.31 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

V₀ₓ = 30 m/s

$V_{0y}$ = 100 m/s

The time of flight of the projectile = 25 s

For projectile motion;

Vₓ = V₀ × cos(θ₀)

The magnitude of the velocity V = √(V₀ₓ² + $V_{0y}$ ²)

We have the magnitude of the initial velocity = √(30² + 100²) = 10·√109 m/s

cos(θ₀) = V₀ₓ/V₀ = 30/(10·√109) = 3/√109

θ₀ = cos⁻¹(3/√109) = 73.3°

The components of the velocity after time t is given by the relations;

Vₓ = V₀ × cos(θ₀) = 30 m/s

$V_y$ = V₀ × sin(θ₀) - g×t

When $V_y$ = 0, we have;

0 = V₀ × sin(θ₀) - g×t

g×t = V₀ × sin(θ₀) = 10·√109×0.958 = 100 m/s

t = 100/g = 100/10 = 10 s

The time to reach maximum height = 10 s

At 15.0 seconds, we have;

$V_y$ = V₀ × sin(θ₀) - g×t = 10·√109×0.958 - 10×15 = -50 m/s

Therefore, the projectile is returning at 50 m/s

The magnitude of the velocity =√(30² + 50²) = 10·√34 m/s = 58.31 m/s.

A sprinter starts from rest and accelerates to 10. m/sec in a time interval of 1.0 seconds, Calculate the runner's acceleration

Volgvan

The runner's acceleration during this time interval is 10 $m/s^2$

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Initial velocity, U = 0 m/s (since the sprinter is starting from rest).

Final velocity, V = 10.0 m/s

Time, t = 1.0 seconds.

To calculate the runner's acceleration during this time interval, we would use the first equation of motion;

Mathematically, the first equation of motion is calculated by using the formula;

$V = U + at$

<u>Where:</u>

a is the acceleration.

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$10 = 0 + a(1)\\\\10 = a$

Therefore, the runner's acceleration during this time interval is 10 $m/s^2$

A point source is fixed 1.0 m away from a large screen. Call the line normal to the screen surface and passing through the cente

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The length of the side of the hole in the second cardboard sheet is $L_2 = 0.01m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of the point source from the screen is $d = 1.0 m$

The length of a side of the first square hole is $L_1 = 0.020 \ m$

The distance of the cardboard from the point source is $D_1 = 0.50\ m$

The distance of the second cardboard from the point source is $D_2 = 0.25 \ m$

Let take the $\alpha_{max }$ as the angle at which the light is passing through the edges of the cardboards square hole

Since the bright square casted on the screen by both square holes on the individual cardboards are then it means that

$\alpha_{max} __{1}} = \alpha_{max} __{2}}$

This implies that

$tan (\alpha_{max} __{1}}) = tan (\alpha_{max} __{2}})$

Looking at this from the SOHCAHTOA concept

$tan (\alpha_{max} __{1}}) = \frac{opposite}{Adjacent}$

Here opposite is the length of the side of the first cardboard square hole

and

Adjacent is the distance of the from the first cardboard square hole to the point source

And for

$tan (\alpha_{max} __{2}}) = \frac{opposite}{Adjacent}$

Here opposite is the length of the side of the second cardboards square hole (let denote it with $L_2$ )

and

Adjacent is the distance of the from the second cardboards square hole to the point source

So

$tan (\alpha_{max} __{1}}) = \frac{0.020}{0.50}$

And

$tan (\alpha_{max} __{2}}) = \frac{L_2}{0.25}$

Substituting this into the above equation

$\frac{0.020}{0.50} = \frac{L_2}{0.25}$

Making $L_2$ the subject

$L_2 = \frac{0.25 *0.020}{0.50}$

$L_2 = 0.01m$

Since it is a square hole the sides are the same hence

The length of the side of the hole in the second cardboard sheet is $L_2 = 0.01m$
