In the Olympic shot-put event, an athlete throws the shot with an initial speed of 12.0m/s at a 40.0? angle from the horizontal.
HACTEHA [7]

A) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

B) Horizontal range: 16.38 m

C) Horizontal range: 16.34 m

D) Horizontal range: 16.07 m

E) The angle that gives the maximum range is 41.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

A)

The motion of the shot is a projectile motion, so we can analyze separately its vertical motion and its horizontal motion.

The vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation to find the time of flight:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 (1)

where

s = -1.80 m is the vertical displacement of the shot to reach the ground (negative = downward)

u_y = u sin \theta is the initial vertical velocity, where

u = 12.0 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=40.0^{\circ} is the angle of projection

So

u_y=(12.0)(sin 40.0^{\circ})=7.7 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (downward)

Substituting the numbers, we get

-1.80 = 7.7t -4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-7.7t-1.80=0

which has two solutions:

t = -0.21 s (negative, we ignore it)

t = 1.778 s (this is the time of flight)

The horizontal motion is instead uniform, so the horizontal range is given by

d=u_x t

where

u_x = u cos \theta=(12.0)(cos 40^{\circ})=9.19 m/s is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.778 s is the time of flight

Solving, we find

d=(9.19)(1.778)=16.34 m

B)

In this second case,

\theta=42.5^{\circ}

So the vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 42.5^{\circ})=8.1 m/s

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

4.9t^2-8.1t-1.80=0

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.851 s

The horizontal velocity is

u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 42.5^{\circ})=8.85 m/s

So, the range of the shot is

d=u_x t = (8.85)(1.851)=16.38 m

C)

In this third case,

\theta=45^{\circ}

So the vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 45^{\circ})=8.5 m/s

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

4.9t^2-8.5t-1.80=0

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.925 s

The horizontal velocity is

u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 45^{\circ})=8.49 m/s

So, the range of the shot is

d=u_x t = (8.49)(1.925)=16.34 m

D)

In this 4th case,

\theta=47.5^{\circ}

So the vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta = (12.0)(sin 47.5^{\circ})=8.8 m/s

So the equation for the vertical motion becomes

4.9t^2-8.8t-1.80=0

Solving for t, we find that the time of flight is

t = 1.981 s

The horizontal velocity is

u_x = u cos \theta = (12.0)(cos 47.5^{\circ})=8.11 m/s

So, the range of the shot is

d=u_x t = (8.11)(1.981)=16.07 m

E)

From the previous parts, we see that the maximum range is obtained when the angle of releases is \theta=42.5^{\circ}.

The actual angle of release which corresponds to the maximum range can be obtained as follows:

The equation for the vertical motion can be rewritten as

s-u sin \theta t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0

The solutions of this quadratic equation are

t=\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g}

This is the time of flight: so, the horizontal range is

d=u_x t = u cos \theta (\frac{u sin \theta \pm \sqrt{u^2 sin^2 \theta+2gs}}{-g})=\\=\frac{u^2}{-2g}(1+\sqrt{1+\frac{2gs}{u^2 sin^2 \theta}})sin 2\theta

It can be found that the maximum of this function is obtained when the angle is

\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2gs+u^2}{2gs+2u^2}})

Therefore in this problem, the angle which leads to the maximum range is

\theta=cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+(12.0)^2}{2(-9.8)(-1.80)+2(12.0)^2}})=41.9^{\circ}

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C
