A cannon sitting on level ground is aimed at 45.0 degrees relative to the horizontal. It fires a test shot at a target located 1

00.0 meters away from the cannon on the same level ground. The test overshoots the target by 20.0 meters. Which of the following angles can the cannon be adjusted to to hit the target. You may neglect air resistance and assume the cannon always delivers the same initial velocity to the cannonball .
A. 35.9 deg
B. 49.1 deg
C. 28.2 deg
D. 52.8 deg
E. 22.7 deg

Answer:

C. 28.2 deg

Explanation:

The horizontal range of a projectile is given as:

R = \frac{v^2Sin2\theta}{g}

where,

R = Range

v = speed

θ = angle of launch

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

First, we will find the launch speed (v) by using the initial conditions:

R = 120 m

θ = 45°

Therefore,

120\ m = \frac{v^2Sin 90^o}{9.81\ m/s^2}\\\\v = \sqrt{(120\ m)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\v = 34.31\ m/s

Now, consider the second scenario to hit the target:

R = 100 m

Therefore,

100\ m = \frac{(34.31\ m/s)^2Sin2\theta}{9.81\ m/s^2}\\\\Sin2\theta = \frac{(100\ m)(9.81\ m/s^2)}{(34.31\ m/s)^2}\\\\2\theta = Sin^{-1}(0.833)\\\\\theta = \frac{56.44^o}{2}\\\theta = 28.22^o

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>C. 28.2 deg</u>

A square plate of copper with 55.0 cm sides has no net charge and is placed in a region of uniform electric field of 82.0 kN/C d
Alex73 [517]

Answer

given,

Side of copper plate, L = 55 cm

Electric field, E = 82 kN/C

a) Charge density,σ = ?

  using expression of charge density

 σ = E x ε₀

ε₀ is Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

now,

 σ = 82 x 10³ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

 σ = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ C/m²

 σ = 725.7 nC/m²

change density on the plates are 725.7 nC/m² and -725.7 nC/m²

b) Total change on each faces

   Q = σ  A

   Q = 725.7 x 10⁻⁹ x 0.55²

   Q = 219.52 nC

Hence, charges on the faces of the plate are 219.52 nC and -219.52 nC
