The range is the horizontal distance from the cannon when the pumpkin hits the ground. This distance is given by the product of

the horizontal velocity (which is constant) and the amount of time the pumpkin is in the air (which is determined by the vertical component of the initial velocity, as you just discovered). Set the initial speed to 14 m/s, and fire the pumpkin several times while varying the angle between the cannon and the horizontal. For which angle is the range a maximum (with the initial speed held constant)

Answer:

x(max) = 20 m

Explanation:

In projectile shoot e have:

V₀y = V₀*sin θ

V₀ₓ = V₀*cos θ

V₀ initial speed

θ shotting angle

Vₓ = V₀ₓ = V₀*cos θ during the trajectory

Vy = V₀y - g*t

And when Vy = 0 h is maximun and the time to reach y maximum is half of the overall time.

According to that

Vy = 0 V₀y = g*t t = V₀y/g

t = 14* sinθ / 9,8

t = 1,43 *sinθ s

And overall time is T = 2* 1,43*sinθ

t = 2,86*sinθ

x = V₀ₓ * t s

x = 14*cosθ * 2,86* sinθ

x = 40 * cosθ * sinθ

Lets take two very well know sin cos pairs

for ∡ 30 ∡ 45 ∡60

and 30 and 60 are complementary angles for boths

cosθ * sinθ is the same ( 1/2)*(√3/2)

cosθ * sinθ = 0,433 and

x = 40* 0,433

x = 17,32 m

For ∡ 45 boths sin45 and cos45 are equal √2/2

In this case

x = 40*(√2/2)*(√2/2)

x = 40* 2/4

x = 20 m

And that is the maximum range

x(max) = 20 m

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$q / q_{1} = 2$ , assuming that $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ are point charges.

Explanation:

Let $k$ denote the coulomb constant. Let $r$ denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither $k$ and $r$ depend on the value of $q_{1}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}$ .

Find the first and second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ . (Note that $0 < q_{1} < q$ .)

First derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}$ .

Second derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

The value of the coulomb constant $k$ is greater than $0$ . Thus, the value of the second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ would be negative for all real $r$ . $F\!$ would be convex over all $q_{1}$ .

By the convexity of $\! F$ with respect to $\! q_{1} \!$ , there would be a unique $q_{1}$ that globally maximizes $F$ . The first derivative of $F\!$ with respect to $q_{1}\!$ should be $0$ for that particular $\! q_{1}$ . In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0$ <em>.</em>

$2\, q_{1} = q$ .

$q_{1} = q / 2$ .

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}$ .
