energy of the child-Earth system relative to the child's lowest position at the following times?
(a) when the chains are horizontal (in J)
(b) when the chains make an angle of 33.0° with respect to the vertical (in J)
(c) when the child is at his lowest position (in J)

Answer:

a)  U = 506 J, b)  U = 37.11 J, c) U = 0

Explanation:

The gravitational power energy is given by the expression

         U = m g (y -y₀)

In general, a reference system is set that allows the expression to be simplified, in this case let's assume the reference system at the child's lowest point, therefore y₀ = 0

Let's use trigonometry to find the child's height

          h = y = L - L cos θ

         

we substitute

           U = m g L (1 - cos θ)

a) when the chain is horizontal θ = 90 and cos 90 = 0

           U = mg L

weight and mass are related

            W = mg

            m = W / g

           

           

           U = 230 2.20

           U = 506 J

b) θ = 33.0º

           cos 33 = 0.83867

           U = 230 (1 - 0.83867)

           U = 37.11 J

c) in this case θ = 0 cos 0 = 1

            U = 0

(1 point) A projectile is fired from ground level with an initial speed of 600 m/sec and an angle of elevation of 30 degrees. Us
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

(a) The range of the projectile is 31,813.18 m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile is 4,591.84 m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is 670.82 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the projectile, u = 600 m/s

angle of projection, θ = 30⁰

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

(a) The range of the projectile in meters;

R = \frac{u^2sin \ 2\theta}{g} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin(2\times 30^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = \frac{600^2 sin (60^0)}{9.8} \\\\R = 31,813.18 \ m

(b) The maximum height of the projectile in meters;

H = \frac{u^2 sin^2\theta}{2g} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (sin \ 30)^2}{2\times 9.8} \\\\H = \frac{600^2 (0.5)^2}{19.6} \\\\H = 4,591.84 \ m

(c) The speed with which the projectile hits the ground is;

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 600^2 + (2 \times 9.8)(4,591.84)\\\\v^2 = 360,000 + 90,000.064\\\\v = \sqrt{450,000.064} \\\\v = 670.82 \ m/s

The drag force on a falling coffee filter can be modeled as a linear function with respect to velocity, F⃗ D =−bv, where b is a
nordsb [41]

Newton's second law and graphical analysis allow us to find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

    D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass and the acceleration of the bodies.  

         ∑ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration of the body.

They indicate that the drag force on the filters is

         F = - b v

Where b is a positive constant that depends on the shape and area of ​​the filter and v is the speed of the filter.

Let's write Newton's second law.

         W - fr  = ma

         W -bv  = ma

         

In the experiment the students indicate that they can measure the position, velocity and acceleration of the body.

Based on the above, if we place several filter weights and measure their speed and acceleration in each case, we can make a graph of velocity versus acceleration, we can take the value of the constant b from the slope.

Let's analyze the different answers:

A) False. The constant b depends on the shape of the filter therefore it must be kept constant.

B) False. The constant depends on the area, so it must be kept constant.

C) May be. In this case, since we have the terminal velocity, the acceleration is zero, Newton's second law remains.

                    B v - W = 0

                    b = \frac{W}{v}  

The problem with the method is the difficulty of measuring the compression terminal velocity.

D) True. According to the discussion of the velocity versus acceleration. graph, the constant b is equal to the slope of the graph.

E) May be. The problem with this method is finding a reliable value for the terminal velocity.

In conclusion, using Newton's second law and graphical analysis we can find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

 D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.
