Answer:

a. 11.29 s b. 94.72 m/s at -39.8° c. 821.57 m​

Explanation:

a. Using y - y₀ = ut - 1/2gt² where u = vertical component of velocity = v₀sinθ where v₀ = 88.3 m/s and θ = 34.5°, y₀ = + 60 m and y = water surface = 0 m, g = 9.8 m/s² and t = time it takes the cannon to reach the water surface.

So y - y₀ = ut - 1/2gt²

y - y₀ = (v₀sinθ)t - 1/2gt²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

0 - 60 = (88.3 m/s × sin34.5°)t - 1/2 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

- 60 = 50t - 4.9t²

So, 4.9t² - 50t - 60 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find t,

t = \frac{-(-50) +/- \sqrt{(-50)^{2} - 4 X 4.9 X -60} }{2 X 4.9} \\t = \frac{50 +/- \sqrt{2500 + 1176} }{9.8} \\t = \frac{50 +/- \sqrt{3676} }{9.8} \\t = \frac{50 +/- 60.63 }{9.8} \\t = \frac{50 + 60.63 }{9.8} or t = \frac{50 - 60.63 }{9.8} \\t = \frac{110.63 }{9.8} or t = \frac{-10.63 }{9.8} \\t = 11.29 sor -1.085

Since t cannot be negative, t = 11.29 s

b. We first need to find the impact vertical velocity component. Using

v = u - gt where u = initial vertical velocity component = v₀sinθ  and t = 11.29 s and g = 9.8 m/s². So,

v = v₀sinθ - gt

= 88.3 m/s × sin34.5° - 9.8 m/s² × 11.29 s

= 50.01 m/s - 110.64 m/s

= -60.63 m/s

Since the horizontal velocity is constant u' = v₀cosθ = 88.3 m/s × cos34.5° = 72.77 m/s.

The impact velocity is thus the resultant of the horizontal velocity and final impact velocity. So, V = √(v² + u'²)

= √((-60.63 m/s)² + (72.77 m/s)²)

= √((3676 m²/s² + 5295.48 m²/s²)

= √(8971.48 m²/s²

= 94.72 m/s

The angle θ = tan⁻¹(v/u') = tan⁻¹(-60.63 m/s ÷ 72.77 m/s) = tan⁻¹(-0.8332) = -39.8°

So the impact velocity is 94.72 m/s at -39.8°

c. The horizontal distance out from the base of the cliff that the ball strikes the water is the range, R = u't = 72.77 m/s × 11.29 s = 821.57 m​

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

the horizontal velocity while it was falling is 22.1 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height of fall, h = 16 m

horizontal distance, x = 40 m

The time to travel 16 m is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 16}{9.8} } \\\\t = 1.81 \ s

The horizontal velocity is calculated as;

v_x = \frac{X}{t} \\\\v_x = \frac{40}{1.81} \\\\v_x = 22.1 \ m/s

Therefore, the horizontal velocity while it was falling is 22.1 m/s.

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.230 mm, and a screen is placed 4.75 m from the slits. If the bright
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

7.55\times 10^{-7} m

Explanation:

We are given that

d=0.23 mm=0.23\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Screen is placed  from the slits at distance ,L=4.75 m

The bright interference fringes on the screen are separated  by 1.56 cm.

\Delta y=1.56 cm=1.56\times 10^{-2} m

1 m=100 cm

We have to find the wavelength of laser light.

We know that

\Delta y=\frac{\lambda L}{d}

Substitute the values

1.56\times 10^{-2}=\frac{\lambda\times 4.75}{0.23\times 10^{-3}}

\lambda=\frac{1.56\times 10^{-2}\times 0.23\times 10^{-3}}{4.75}

\lambda=7.55\times 10^{-7} m

When you see Marjorie, she is swinging a bucket of water around in a circle. The speed of the bucket of water does not change as
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:A

Explanation:

Since the bucket of water  is constantly in motion it implies a force must be acting on it which allows it to change its Position constantly.

A constant gravity Force must be acting on water . In addition to gravity force a centripetal force must be acting on the water inside the bucket.

Bucket must move with certain velocity in order to avoid spilling of water.

A transverse sinusoidal wave is moving along a string in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 89 m/s. At t = 0, t
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

y = transverse displacement = 4.2 cm = 0.042 m at x = 0 and t = 0.

Speed = v = 89 m/s, maximum transverse speed of the string particle = u_m = 16 m/s.

ω = u_m / y_m = 16 / 0.42 = 380.95 rad/s

a) Frequency = ω/2π = 380.95 / 2π = 60.63 Hz

b) Wavelength (λ) = speed / frequency

λ = v / f = 89/63.66= 1.468 m

c) Using the wave equation:

y=y_msin(kx \pm wt \pm \phi)\\y=0.042,t=0,x=0\\\\Hence\\y_m=0.042\ m

d) Wave number k is given by:

k = 2π / λ = 2π / 1.468 = 4.28 rad/s

e) The angular velocity is given by:

ω = u_m / y_m = 16 / 0.42 = 380.95 rad/s

f)  Using the wave equation:

y=y_msin(kx \pm wt \pm \phi)\\\\y=0.042,t=0,x=0,y_m=0.042\\\\Hence\\0.042=0.042sin(4.28(0)\pm 380.95(0)\pm \phi)\\\\sin\phi=1\\\\\phi=\frac{\pi}{2} \\\\y=0.042sin(4.28x\pm 380.95t\pm \frac{\pi}{2})

g) Since the wave is in the positive x direction, hence ω is negative
