The height (in meters) of a projectile shot vertically upward from a point 2 m above ground level with an initial velocity of 22

alexgriva [62]

1) The law of motion of the projectile is
$h(t) = 2+22.5 t-4.9 t^2$
To find the velocity, we should compute the derivative of h(t):
$v(t)=h'(t)=22.5-2\cdot 4.9t=22.5-9.8t$
So now we can calculate the speed at t=2 s and t=4 s:
$v(2.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot2.0 =2.9 m/s$
$v(4.0s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.0s=-16.7 m/s$
The negative sign in the second speed means the projectile has already reached its maximum height and it is now going downward.

2) The projectile reaches its maximum height when the speed is equal to zero:
$v(t)=0$
So we have
$22.5-9.8 t=0$
And solving this we find
$t=2.30 s$

3) To find the maximum height, we take h(t) and we just replace t with the time at which the projectile reaches the maximum height, i.e. t=2.30 s:
$h(2.30 s)=2+22.5\cdot 2.30 -4.9 \cdot (2.30s)^2 = 27.83 m$

4) The time at which the projectile hits the ground is the time at which the height is zero: h(t)=0. So, this translates into
$2+22.5t -4.9 t^2 = 0$
This is a second-order equation, and if we solve it we get two solutions: the first solution is negative, so we can ignore it since it's physically meaningless; the second solution is
$t=4.68 s$
And this is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

5) The velocity of the projectile when it hits the ground is the velocity at time t=4.68 s:
$v(4.68 s)=22.5-9.8\cdot 4.68 =-23.36 m/s$
with negative sign, because it is directed downward.

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Answer is It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

Refer below.

Explanation:

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the Earth. With such a small diameter it must be a compact object, and with such a large mass it can't be a white dwarf or a neutron star, so a black hole is the only possibility remaining. The diameter of Cygnus X-1 found:

It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W

Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

W = 0.49 N

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

τ = 0.4851 Nm

The pivot exerts a FORCE on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.4 m/s hits a 5.7 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continu

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}$

$a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration on the rough ice $-2.48\ m/s^2$ and negative sign shows deceleration.
