You are removing branches from your roof after a big storm. You throw a branch horizontally from your roof, which is a height 3.

00 m above the ground. The branch lands a horizontal distance 8.00 m away from where you threw it (assuming you are the 0 position in x, and the branch traveled in the x direction). You can assume there is no air resistance. You can assume that the upwards direction is positive. What is the initial velocity in x of the branch (how fast did you throw the branch)

Answer:

The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;

The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m

The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m

The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, u_y = 0 m/s

The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;

s = u_y·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u_y = 0 m/s

s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²

t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246

The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m

Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;

uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)

Using a graphing calculator, we get;

uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s

The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.

fiasKO [112]

It should be noted that the student should use K = 1/2mv² with the initial speed of the block for one trial.

<h3>Method of using the data collected.</h3>

From the complete information, the student wants to use the data collected and the known quantities from the experiment to determine the initial total mechanical energy of the block-ramp-Earth system for all trials in the experiment.

In this case, it's important to use K = 1/2mv² with the block's initial speed for one trial due to the fact that the initial speed is the same in all the trials.

An object thrown vertically upward from the surface of a celestial body at a velocity of 36 ​m/s reaches a height of sequalsminu
Anarel [89]

Answer:

v = -1.8t+36

20 seconds

360 m

40 seconds

36 m/s

The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

Explanation:

s=-0.9t^2+36t

Differentiating with respect to time we get

\frac{ds}{dt}=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow v=-1.8t+36

a) Velocity of the object after t seconds is v = -1.8t+36

At the highest point v will be 0

0=-1.8t+36\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{-36}{-1.8}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

b) The object will reach the highest point after 20 seconds

s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow s=-0.9\times 20^2+36\times 20\\\Rightarrow s=360\ m

c) Highest point the object will reach is 360 m

s=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow 360=-0.9t^2+36t\\\Rightarrow -0.9t^2+36t-360=0\\\Rightarrow -9t^2+360t-3600=0

\frac{-360\pm \sqrt{0}}{2\left(-9\right)}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

d) Time taken to strike the ground would be 20+20 = 40 seconds

[tex]v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.9\times 2\times 20\\\Rightarrow v=36\ m/s

Acceleration will be taken as positive because the object is going down. Hence, the sign changes. 2 is multiplied because the expression is given in the form of s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

e) The velocity with which the object strikes the ground will be 36 m/s

f) The speed will increase when the object has gone up and for 20 seconds and falls down for 20 seconds. The object speed will increase when it is coming down from its highest height.

Two polarizing sheets have their transmission axes crossed so that no light is transmitted. A third sheet is inserted so that it
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a)    I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)    b) 75.5º

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we must use Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² θ

where tea is the angle between the two polarizers.

We apply this expression to our case

* Polarizer 1 suppose that it is vertical and polarizer 2 (intermediate) is at an angle θ with respect to the vertical

         I₁ = I₀ cos² θ

* We analyze for the polarity 2 and the last polarizer 3 which indicate that it must be at 90º from the first one, therefore it must be horizontal.

The angle of polarizers 2 and 3 is θ' measured from the horizontal, if we measure with respect to the vertical

              θ₂ = 90- θ’ = θ

fiate that in the exercise we must take a reference system and measure everything with respect to this system.

          I = I₁ cos² θ'

       

we substitute

         I = (I₀ cos² tea) cos² (θ - 90)

        cos (θ -90) = cos θ cos 90 + sin θ sin 90 = sin θ

         I = Io cos² θ sin² θ

        1= cos²θ+ sin²θ

       sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ

        I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)

b) to find when the intensity is maximum,

we can use that we have an extreme point when the drift is zero

          \frac{dI}{d \theta} = 0

          \frac{dI}{d \theta}= Io (2 cos θ - 4 cos³θ) = 0

whereby

            cos θ - 2 cos³ θ = 0

            cos θ ( 1 - 2 cos² θ) = 0  

The zeros of this function are in

           θ = 90º

           1-2cos²θ =0       cos θ = 0.25  θ =  75.5º

Let's analyze this two results for the angle of 90º the intnesidd is zero with respect to the first polarizer, so it is not an acceptable solution.

Consequently, the angle that allows the maximum intensity to pass is 75.5º
