In medieval warfare, one of the greatest technological advancement was the trebuchet. The trebuchet was used to sling rocks into

castles. You are asked to study the motion of such a projectile for a group of local enthusiast planning a medieval war reenactment. Unfortunately an actual trebuchet had not been built yet, so you decide to first look at the motion of a thrown ball as a model of rocks thrown by a trebuchet. Specifically, you are interested in how the horizontal and the vertical components of the velocity for a thrown object change with time. 1. Make a large rough sketch of the trajectory of the ball after it has been thrown. Draw the ball in at least five different positions; two when the ball is going up, two when it is going down, and one at its maximum height. Label the horizontal and vertical axes of your coordinate system.
2. On the sketch, draw and label the expected acceleration vectors of the ball (relative sizes and directions) for the five different positions. Decompose each acceleration vector into its vertical and horizontal components.
3. On the sketch, draw and label the velocity vectors of the object at the same positions you chose to draw your acceleration vectors. Decomposes each velocity vector into its vertical and horizontal components. Check to see that the changes in the velocity vector are consistent with the acceleration vectors.
4. Looking at the sketch, how does someone expect the ball's horizontal acceleration to change with time? Could you give a possible equation giving the ball's horizontal acceleration as a function of time? Graph this equation. If there are constants in your equation, what kinematic quantities do they represent? How would someone determine these constants from the graph?
5. Looking at the sketch, how does someone expect the ball's horizontal velocity to change with time? Is it consistent with the statements about the ball's acceleration from the previous question? Could you give a possible equation for the ball's horizontal velocity as a function of time? Graph this equation. If there are constants in the equation, what kinematic quantities do they represent? How would someone determine these constants from the graph?
6. Could you give a possible equation for the ball's horizontal position as a function of time? Graph this equation. If there are constants in the equation, what kinematic quantities do they represent? How would someone determine these constants from the graph? Are any of these constants related to the equations for horizontal velocity or acceleration?
7. Repeat questions 4-6 for the vertical component of the acceleration, velocity, and position. How are the constants for the acceleration, velocity and position equations related?

Answer:

2) a_y= -g  3) vₓ=constant v_y = v_{oy} - g t, 4)  vₓ = v₀ₓ - ax t

5)  changes the horizontal speed, should change range

7) changes the vertical speed change the maximum height

Explanation:

1) After reading your long writing, we are going to solve the exercise, in the attachment you can see the different vectors.

2) The acceleration vectors are vertical and directed downwards due to the attraction of the Earth (gravity force) this force is constant, on the x axis there is no acceleration

3) the velocity vectors on the x-axis are constant because there are no relationships and the y-axis changes value according to the expression

           v_y = v_{oy} - gt

at the point of maximum height, vy = 0 is equal to the maximum height

4) For someone to change the horizontal acceleration we must assume a friction with the air, in this case they relate it would be in the opposite direction to the horizontal speed

In the graph it would be directed to the left, therefore the velocity would be

           vₓ = v₀ₓ - ax t

5 and 6) If someone changes the horizontal speed, they should change the range of the shot for greater horizontal speed, the rock goes further.

the equations of motion are

           x = v₀ₓ t

           y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

7) If someone changes the vertical speed change the maximum height, but not the scope of the shot, for higher speed higher maximum height,

the equations of motion are the same.

How are traits influenced by the environment? (No links)
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Environmental factors influence traits in plants and animals. These traits include things like weight, height, size, and color. If a dog does not get proper nutrition and exercise, their weight will be negatively impacted. The dog is likely to be overweight if the environmental factors are not changed.

IrinaVladis [17]

Vector is perpendicular to x axis or i component.

Hence i component is 0

j component is 63.5

\\ \sf\longmapsto \overrightharpoon{A}=0\hat{i} +63.5\hat{j}

A disk rotates at constant angular acceleration, from angular position θ1 = 16.0 rad to angular position θ2 = 76.0 rad in 5.30 s
Oliga [24]

Answer:

(a) the angular velocity at θ1 is 11.64 rad/s

(b) the angular acceleration is 0.12 rad/s^{2}

(c) the angular position was the disk initially at rest is - 428.27 rad

Explanation:

Given information :

θ1 = 16 rad

θ2 = 76 rad

ω2 = 11 rad/s

t = 5.3 s

(a) The angular velocity at θ1

First, we use the angular motion equation for constant acceleration

Δθ = (ω1+ω2)t/2

θ2 - θ1 = (ω1+ω2)t/2

ω1 + ω2 = 2 (θ2 - θ1) / t

ω1 = (2 (θ2 - θ1) / t ) - ω2

     = (2 (76-16) / 5.3) - 11

     = 11.64 rad/s

(b) the angular acceleration

ω2 = ω1 + α t

α t = ω2 - ω1

α = (ω2 - ω1)/t

  = (11.64 - 11) / 5.3

  = 0.12 rad/s^{2}

(c) the angular position was the disk initially at rest, θ0

at rest ω0 = 0

ω2^2 = ω01  t + 2 α Δθ

2 α Δθ = ω2^2

θ2 - θ0 = ω2^2  /  2 α

θ0 = θ2 -  (ω2^2) / 2 α

  = 76 - (11^{2}/ 2 x 0.12

  = 76 - 504.16

  = - 428.27 rad
