Horizontal motion is defined as a projectile motion in a horizontal plane depending upon the force acting on it. For a short distance, the vertical and horizontal components of a projectile are perpendicular and independent of each other.

An arrow movirg 48.3 m/s has 5.22<br> kg•m/s of momentum. What is its<br> mass?

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

0.11 kg

Explanation:

Ft = MV

Ft = momentum 5.22kg m/s

M = mass

V = velocity 48.3m/s

Therefore

5.22 = M x 48.3

Divide both sides by 48.3

5.22/48.3 = M x 48.3/48.3

0.11 = M

M = 0.11kg

A lighthouse is located on a small island, 3 km away from the nearest point on a straight shoreline, and its light makes four re

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The beam of light is moving at the peed of:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}$ km/min

Given:

Distance from the isalnd, d = 3 km

No. of revolutions per minute, n = 4

Solution:

Angular velocity, $\omega = \frac{d\theta'}{dt} = 2\pi n = 2\pi \times 4 = 8\pi$ (1)

Now, in the right angle in the given fig.:

$tan\theta' = \frac{y}{3}$

Now, differentiating both the sides w.r.t t:

$\frac{dtan\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

Applying chain rule:

$\frac{dtan\theta'}{d\theta'}.\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

$sec^{2}\theta'\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt} = (1 + tan^{2}\theta')\frac{d\theta'}{dt}$

Now, using $tan\theta = \frac{1}{m}$ and y = 1 in the above eqn, we get:

$(1 + (\frac{1}{3})^{2})\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

Also, using eqn (1),

$8\pi\frac{10}{9})\theta' = \frac{dy}{3dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}$

A mass of 250 N is on a piston of 2.0 m^2. What force is needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.

Pressure = Force/Area

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given

F1 = 250N

A1 = 2.0m²

A2 = 0.5m²

F2 = ?

Substituting the given values in the formula;

250/2 = F2/0.5

cross multiply

250*0.5 = 2F2

125 = 2F2

F2 = 125/2

F2 = 62.5N

Hence the force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N

Part complete during a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s

Inga [223]

The average force applied to the ball= 106.7 N

Explanation:

Force is given by

f= ΔP/t

ΔP= change in momentum= m Vf- m Vi

m= mass =0.2 kg

Vf= final velocity= 12 m/s

Vi=initial velocity= -20 m/s ( negative because it is going towards the wall which is treated as negative axis)

t= time= 60 ms= 0.06 s

now ΔP= 0.2 [ 12-(-20)]

ΔP=0.2 (32)=6.4 kg m/s

now force F= ΔP/t

F= 6.4/0.06

F=106.7 N

Describe difference between instantaneous velocity and average velocity

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity is the specific rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time at a single point (x,t) , while average velocity is the average rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time over an interval.Average velocity : Average velocity of a body is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by time interval (Δt) in which that displacement occurs.

Instantaneous velocity : The instantaneous velocity of a body is the velocity of the body at any instant of time or at any point of its path .

velocity can be positive , negative or zero.

By studying speed and velocity we come to the result that at any time interval average speed of an object is equal or more than the average but instantaneous speed is equal to instantaneous velocity.
