Answer:

28.3 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 30°

Maximum height (H) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =?

Thus, we can obtain the minimum velocity cannon ball by using the following formula:

H = u²Sine² θ / 2g

10 = u² × (Sine 30)² / 2× 10

10 = u² × (0.5)² / 20

10 = u² × 0.25 / 20

10 = u² × 0.0125

Divide both side by 0.0125

u² = 10/ 0.0125

u² = 800

Take the square root of both side

u = √800

u = 28.3 m/s

Therefore, the minimum speed of the cannon ball is 28.3 m/s

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, u = 0 and a = g

$h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s$

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

A 1.00 kg block of ice, at -25.0°C, is warmed by 35 kJ of energy. What is the final temperature of the ice?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

-8.4°C

Explanation:

From the principle of heat capacity.

The heat sustain by an object is given as;

H = m× c× (T2-T1)

Where H is heat transferred

m is mass of substance

T2-T1 is the temperature change from starting to final temperature T2.

c- is the specific heat capacity of ice .

Note : specific heat capacity is an intrinsic capacity of a substance which is the energy substained on a unit mass of a substance on a unit temperature change.

Hence ; 35= 1× c× ( T2-(-25))

35= c× ( T2+25)

35 =2.108×( T2+25)

( T2+25)= 35/2.108= 16.60°{ approximated to 2 decimal place}

T2= 16.60-25= -8.40°C

C, specific heat capacity of ice is =2.108 kJ/kgK{you can google that}

PLEASE HELP ME 45 POINTS

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a) We kindly invite you to see the explanation and the image attached below.

b) The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.

Explanation:

a) At first we assume that pulley and cord are both ideal, that is, masses are negligible and include the free body diagrams of each mass and the pulley in the image attached below.

b) Both masses are connected to each other by the same cord, the direction of acceleration will be dominated by the mass of greater mass (mass A) and both masses have the same magnitude of acceleration. By the 2nd Newton's Law, we create the following equation of equilibrium:

Mass A

$\Sigma F = T - m_{A}\cdot g = -m_{A}\cdot a$ (1)

Mass B

$\Sigma F = T - m_{B}\cdot g = m_{B}\cdot a$ (2)

Where:

$T$ - Tension force in the cord, measured in newtons.

$m_{A}$ , $m_{B}$ - Masses of blocks A and B, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$a$ - Net acceleration of the each block, measured in meters per square second.

By subtracting (2) by (1), we get an expression for the acceleration of each mass:

$m_{B}\cdot a +m_{A}\cdot a = T-m_{B}\cdot g -T + m_{A}\cdot g$

$(m_{B}+m_{A})\cdot a = (m_{A}-m_{B})\cdot g$

$a = \frac{m_{A}-m_{B}}{m_{B}+m_{A}} \cdot g$

If we know that $m_{A} = 5\,kg$ , $m_{B} = 2\,kg$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the acceleration of the masses is:

$a = \left(\frac{5\,kg-2\,kg}{5\,kg+2\,kg}\right) \cdot\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The acceleration of the masses is 4.203 meters per square second.

c) From (2) we get the following expression for the tension force in the cord:

$T = m_{B}\cdot (a+g)$

If we know that $m_{B} = 2\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then the tension force in the cord:

$T = (2\,kg)\cdot \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$T = 28.02\,N$

The tension force in the cord is 28.02 newtons.

d) Given that system starts from rest and net acceleration is constant, we determine the time taken by the block to cover a distance of 1.5 meters through the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta y = \frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (3)

Where:

$a$ - Net acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\Delta y$ - Covered distance, measured in meters.

If we know that $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta y = 1.5\,m$ , then the time taken by the system is:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \Delta y}{a} }$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (1.5\,m)}{4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }$

$t \approx 0.845\,s$

The system will take approximately 0.845 seconds to cover a distance of 1.5 meters.

e) The final speed of the system is calculated by the following formula:

$v = a\cdot t$ (4)

Where $v$ is the final speed of the system, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $t \approx 0.845\,s$ , then the final speed of the system is:

$v = \left(4.203\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.845\,s)$

$v = 3.551\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the system is 3.551 meters per second.
