During a fireworks display, a shell is shot into the air at an angle of theta degrees above the horizontal. The fuse is timed to

8.6 seconds for the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. If the horizontal displacement of the shell is 81.7 meters when it explodes, what is the angle theta of the initial velocity

Answer:

θ = 83.6º

Explanation:

  • Once the shell is in the air, the only influence acting on it (assuming that the resistance of the air is negligible) is gravity.
  • Gravity acts on the shell accelerating it in the vertical direction with a=g=-9.8 m/s2 (taking the upward direction as the positive one).
  • Since movements in perpendicular directions are independent each other, we conclude that in the horizontal direction, speed must be constant.
  • So, we can find the speed in the horizontal direction (the projection of the velocity vector along the horizontal axis) applying simply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v_{avg} =\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}  (1)

  • Taking the launch site as the origin, and making the horizontal direction coincident with the x-axis (positive to the right), we know that the horizontal displacement is 81.7 m, and the time at the explosion, 8.6 s, so we can write the horizontal component of the velocity vector (its projection along the x-axis) as follows:

       v_{x} = \frac{81.7m}{8.6s} = v_{o} * cos \theta = 9.5 m/s  (2)

  • In the vertical direction, since we know that the shell will explode when it reaches to the maximum height, at this point just before exploding, the vertical component of the velocity is just zero, even though it continues being accelerated downward.
  • Applying the definition of acceleration, replacing a by the value of g, we can write the following expression:

        v_{fy} = v_{oy} - g*t = v_{o} * sin \theta -g*t = 0   (3)

⇒      v₀* sin θ = g*t = 9.8m/s2* 8.6s = 84.3 m/s (4)

  • Dividing (4) by (2), we can find tg θ (the angle of the initial velocity with the x-axis), as follows:

       \frac{v_{o}* sin \theta}{v_{o}* cos \theta} = tg \theta= \frac{84.3m/s}{9.5m/s} = 8.87  (5)

⇒    θ = tg⁻¹ (8.87) = 83.6º

a 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300 meters above ground). what is the potential energy of the
mart [117]
Here, you can calculate it's potential energy with respect to ground.
We know, U = mgh
Here, m = 75 Kg
g = 9.8 m/s²       [ constant value for earth system ]
h = 300 m

Substitute their values into the expression:
U = 75 × 9.8  × 300
U = 220500 J

In short, Your Final Answer would be 220,500 J 

Hope this helps!

Daniel steps on the gas pedal of his car, and the engine increases its performance from zero to
RSB [31]

Answer

The frequency and the period are 45 cycles/second and 0.023 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of the engine is given by :

f=\dfrac{rpm}{60}

We have, the engine increases its performance from zero to 2700 rpms.

Frequency,

f=\dfrac{2700}{60}\ \text{cycles per second}\\\\f=45\ \text{cycles per second}

The time period of the engine is given by :

T = f/f

So,

T=\dfrac{1}{45}\ s\\\\T=0.023\ s

Hence, the required frequency and the period are 45 cycles/second and 0.023 seconds respectively.

Mo Farah won the 10,000 meter race in the 2012 Olympics with an official time of 27 minutes, 30.42 s . To the correct number of
seropon [69]
Speed=distance/time
distance = 10,000 m
time= 27 min 30.42s but we need to convert that completely to seconds
(27x60)+30.42= 1650.12 rounded to 1650
speed=10,000/1650.12
speed=6.059063
Because when we do sig dig we round to the least number of digits we would round to 4 because 1650.12 gets rounded to 1650
so 6.059 m/s

Restaurant owners agree to comply with state, but not federal, health
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A public health license can be defined as series of privileges and authority granted to a practitioner in the public domain, to offer services to the general public after admitting to comply with the standards, rules and regulations set aside by health regulatory agencies and the government (both state and federal).

This ultimately implies that, all restaurant owners must have met the minimum requirements (criteria) and agree to comply with all the standards, rules and regulations with respect to public health before they are endorsed and then given a license to practice or operate by the appropriate agency or authorities.

Hence, restaurant owners agree to comply with state, federal, and health regulations when applying for a public health license.
